ANR Headsets

[jetstream]

I am looking for a new ANR headset. If anyone out there who uses them could steer me to some good ones I would appreciate it. It will be used in the CRJ200. Right now I'm looking at Telex and Sennheiser.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

I was very happy with the Telex 850 in the CRJ

I got a pair of Sennheiser 25-KAS off eBay and am VERY pleased with them. I think you want the stereo version for the RJ...

Why do you need a stereo headset? The guy sitting next to you is only speaking into one mic, and to the best of my knowledge they guys on the ground talking to you are only speaking into one mic. Unless you are listening to the Rolling Stones in Hi-fi there is no need for a stereo headset. Even if you are listening to a stereo recording, you would still only get ATC out of one ear. Am I missing something here? I have a stereo headset but don't use that feature because I want to hear out of both speakers.

Don't RJs have built-in headsets?

That sucks.

All I know is if my 25-KAS is on "mono", I can only hear out of one ear. In stereo, I can hear normally out of both...

I have the mono version and can hear out of both ears just fine. Got them cheap at www.spinnerspilotshop.com

Some airlines provide headsets in the aircraft. At my company, they are David Clark H10-13.4s. Some are in better condition than others. I use my own DCs.

The Sennheiser stereo headsets have a built-in volume control. It's needed in the ERJ to quiet the chimes. I'm not sure how bad they are in the CRJ, but they are LOUD in the ERJ.

I've been happy with the Telex 850. Just enough noise cancellation, no batteries to change, and I can't tell I have it on, even after 10-12 hours.

The Bose headset is the King of Headsets!

It certainly is, but the price is a King's ransom, too.

My lightspeeds worked just fine in a loud turboprop but I don't really know if they were TSO'd and noone ever said anything to me...

That's funny, it's the exact opposite with my Bose. I have never flown in an airplane with a "stereo" intercom (I'm not even sure they exist), thus have never needed the "stereo" feature. I suppose if I used my headset to listen to my ipod, then it would be a useful feature. In mono mode you can change the individual speaker volumes, though I generally leave both at the minimum setting.

Bose is the "King of Headsets" and is worth a "King's ransom" even on a Jester's wages.

I don't listen to an iPod or anything else while flying, thanks. I was simply relaying my own experiences. In AWAC's 200s with my 25-KAS headset stereo works in both ears but mono only works in one.

Its obvious your mileage has varied; glad you don't have or see the need for stereo.
