Bose QC2/UflyMike Combination-TSO Status Alert​
[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]
Our CMO has stated that the Bose QC2 headset/UFlyMike combination is not TSO’d for aviation use. This is due to the fact that the headset portion will fail completely when the battery fails. There is NO passive voice capability. While the Uflymike boom mike is in fact TSOd, but the Bose QC2 is not.​
In order for this combination to meet TSO requirements, the Bose QC2 Headset/UFlyMike combination must be used in conjunction with the TSO’d earbuds. Any noise attenuating headset must have manual reversion capability if the battery fails. Supplementing the Bose QC2 with the earbuds meets this requirement per the ACO and MIDO.


Looks like you have to now buy earbuds from Uflymic if you want to keep using this headset. Does anyone know if you can use the earbuds and the mic without the Qc2 headset or do you have to basically have two headsets on now to use this thing?

I don't use this headset but have a general question...

Can you just plug in your earbuds for something like your ipod and wear those under the headset or do you have to buy the buds from UFM?

Just ranting now...this is rediculous. The majority of headsets that pilots wear are not TSO approved. Just a few examples are BoseX, Clarity Aloft...I was amazed at how few headsets actually meet TSO approval.
 
Why don't you cheap fracks just buy some real honest to God aviation headsets in the first place?

Geeze...
For me it has nothing to do with being cheap, I like them. Don't want to use anything else. They work great in the CJ-1 and I don't like Bose 10's. I also have Telex 750's and David Clark's.

bose x aviation headset is TSO'd C-57a & C-58a.

You'd only have spent $200 or so more on the bose x after you count the quiet comfort 2, the uflymike and the earbuds...Not to mention the qc2 eats batteries, so that'll eat up the money saved. And the bose warranty on their aviation headset is 5 years.

i think southwest won't let you use the qc2 due to the non TSO'd nature of the qc2 headset.

My QC2's were $300 and the uflymike was $200. The Bose X is listed at $995.
 
k...so can you just plug your regular earbuds (ipod ones) into the qc2 for the backup...or do you have to buy the ones sold by uflymike?
