Interesting choice that I have never heard off. Apparently these are designed for pilots? Tank you for bringing these to my attention. I bought them, I'm guessing the 90s? My day job was at Collins Avionics, (airplane radios). D/C pilot headphones were everywhere in the labs. The magazine advertisement for these showed a model/business executive sitting in his office at a big wood desk with one of those aluminum airplane models on it, eyes closed, hands folded across his lap, smiling while wearing is D/Cs and listening to some tunes. I think I paid $150.
At the time, I was playing tenor in a blues band and needed the hearing protection. There was, what I suppose could be called a down side. I was using a personal monitor feed and the isolation was so good that I could run it at very low volume and hear everything clearly. As a result it was sort of isolating in another way - a lack of engagement with the music. (There could be other reasons for that too I suppose.)
A couple of years ago I noticed a buzz on one side when playing very low bass notes. I sent them in and D/C replaced both drivers and the cord for free. Obviously, I am a sold on them.
I found this attenuation chart.
