In the past several years I have used
	1.  David Clark
	2.  Telex MRB-600
	3.  Pacific Platronics Starset

I am quite impressed with the David Clarks, especially on a long
cross country.  (The plastic airplane I fly has no insulation, so
is quite noisy.  On a recent trip to Alabama, I flew 17 hours in 
three days, and my EARS wern't tired.)  The Telex MRB-600 has been
used for eight years with no problems at all.  The Starset gave me 
ear infections, so I refuse to wear any "in the ear" headsets at
all.

On the David Clarks, get the liquid filled ear pieces, it makes the
headset more comfortable.  I also found that wearing a baseball cap
under the headband makes the headsets more comfortable.

If you are looking for quality, go for the Clarks.  If you want a 
"heepy cheepy,"  try the MRB-600 (about $60).
