Yep. Quiet Technologies makes a good set and is cheaper than the Clarity's. They use a less expensive speaker and only one of them, so you can't get true stereo, but if that is not an issue, then they are good alternative. At Sun N Fun, Quiet sets up their booth just a few spaces down from us. We get asked, routinely, what the difference is and we tell the people to go try theirs out. They may like them better or they may not. It truly is personal preference.
It's the same thing with our TSO'd set. Very few pilots are actually REQUIRED to use TSO'd headsets but enough that we ended up offering them. They are slightly lighter yet, and have a bit different "feel" to them. They cost more, as they are TSO'd. A number of people like them more than the standard set and end up buying them instead, because of the personal feel. I happen to like the feel of the standard set better. One of the employees of the company likes the Pro set better. All personal feel……try them both at OSH.

I looked at both Clarity Aloft and Quiet Technologies and chose the QT. Replacement parts (foam earpieces) were much simpler and I just liked them better. Personal preference. Check out both at OSH. Here is the QT website. http://www.quiettechnologies.com/ My son and I ended up both getting a set (OSH special plus buying 2 made it even cheaper) and I no longer use my Dave Clarks at all and totally regret spending the money on ANR which I no longer use. This is comfortable, quiet, so light I forget I'm wearing it on a cross country. I may pick up another set at OSH this year, and sell my ANR. I had a friend visiting and she is pretty small and after I let her use my headset one time, she refused to give it back. So, I was stuck with the Dave Clarks until she left. Here's a video of her using it and you can see how light weight it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQQE04AwFcY&feature=youtu.be I do acro and never have a problem with it leaving my head during negative Gs.

Looks to me like what Clarity Aloft offers is one of those in-the-ear (rather than over the ear) headsets.
I have some doubt that that would make any difference in the wind noise being picked up in the mic as their mic would be basically no different than any other headset mic.
But it does raise something I'm curious about:
Anyone here have any experience using any of those headsets that plug IN your ears? Their supposed advantage is they should be great at keeping cockpit noise out of our ear and be much lighter and less bulky than traditional headsets.
If so, wonder why they're not popular. They're costly, but so are the top end conventional headsets that I see widely used.
