Default Noise Cancelling Headset for B737

I know a guy who's heard of someone who will be flying the 737 for a while. Looking for advice on what is the best noise cancelling headset model overall when balancing the following factors:

-Comfort
-Durability
-Noise Reduction
-Bluetooth capability

The pilot flying the 737 does not mind paying top dollar. He's heard that Bose is great, but is perhaps not as durable as David Clark.

Anyways, the floor is open. Thanks for the help!

I replaced a Bose X that I'd been using for donkeys years, last year, with a Bose A20. Comfortable and great sound. Some don't like the size. To me it's fine.

I've used others, including the U-Fly-Mic with a Bose QC15, and it worked well enough, but the A20 is perfect for me. Durability isn't an issue at all. Batteries last a long time. It's got a music input for those who might choose that option on a long trip. It's even got a blue tooth thingamajig, which I suppose a millennial could use for piping in music, or something like that.

I'll put in a vote for the Bose QC25 with U-Fly Mike. Very, very, very comfortable and the noise canceling is strong enough for airplanes like the 310 so I'd imagine it works fine for a 737.

If he wants on the ears I would go with the DC Pro-X. I prefer over the ear so I use the DC one-X
