Best CRJ Headset.

[mainiac]

Nothing says "New-Hire F/O straight out of a 172" then a pair of green D/C in the cockpit of a CRJ or ERJ!!

Well, I'll tell you, maybe nothin says new hire out of a 172,(or maybe a noisy old 402), than the Big green D/Clark's, but it also says "new hire F/O budget, and can't afford any more payroll deduct either"
Keep using them if you got em, start looking on ebay for the 750's, should get em for $100 or so

Eagle supplies DC's in every airplane.

CRJ headsets

My career in the RJ I used:

David Clark w/ ear protection
Telex 750 w/ear protection
Plantronics w/ ear mold and ear protection in the other ear.

Then

the Telex ANR and never looked back. Every time I turned the ANR on the avionics fans just disappeared.

I can still pass a first class physical with the doc whispering to check my hearing even at my advanced age.

The Sennheiser HMEC-25KA is indeed a VERY nice headset in the CRJ. I just got one because my old headset was interefering with the windshield heat, which caused a loud hum on the intercom that all could hear.

I wanted to like the Telex 850, but couldn't. It just let in too much noise. The Sennheiser is not as quiet as my old DC's, but it doesn't need to be, and weighs less than 1/2 as much.

This Debate Again...Get the Bose X. Yes I know it costs a lot of money but it's the LAST headset you'll ever need. These light jets are LOUD - if you don't believe it just wait a few years until you start getting questions at your physical's hearing test. The Bose are the most comfortable thing you'll ever wear, the queitest thing you'll ever wear, and sound the best (music, too).

You're a professional - use professional equipment. Yes, even 1st year FOs can afford them on the NO INTEREST monthly plan ($88/mo for 12 mo). It's tax deductable, too. You're going to spend a LONG time in your regional jet - get something that will make that time go be more comfortably.

Someone once said you can tell a true professional by what's in his toolbox - enough said! (I used them in a few light jets...including the CRJ).

I tend to agree with AZ Typed.

The CRJ is the LOUDEST jet aircraft i've ever flown. (i've heard that the ERJ is louder). It's not too bad in cruise, but during climb and high-speed descent the wind-noise is extremely uncomfortable.

Most people who used Telex 750s also wore earplugs with them. Quite a few people wore the Dave Clarks. (Nothing says "furloughed major airline pilot who is concerned about his hearing like Dave Clarks in an RJ")

The Bose is the logical choice if you plan to spend any significant portion of your career in an RJ. Active and passive protection that is second to none. (You think those ear-buds sound good in Clarks... wait till you try them in the Bose!)

Don't sacrifice your hearing to "look cool" in a jet. (is this the next evolution of SJS?)

What companies give free headsets?

Mesaba provides headsets in all aircraft. DCs in the Saab and Telex in the Avro, and probably the CRJ. About 50% of Saab pilots and 10% of Avro pilots, bring their own headset. Mostly because about half of the DCs in the Saab don't have gel earseals and are uncomfortable, and you don't have to carry around a bunch of Sani-Coms

Louder than the Jetstream? The CRJ can get a little lound in the descent down low, but it's still much quiter than most things and the Telex 750 seems to work just fine.

Need I say more? Otherwise, BAe did a bad job of putting a case around those fan blades.

Guess I'm a cheapo, being that I have a can with a very long ball of string to talk to ATC. Handoffs are always interesting...

Sombody who rags on someone else who wears a certain type of headset is a COMPLETE LOOSER! Who gives a sh!t what type of headset some guy is wearing. I didn't now that this was such a "fashionable" industry.

They're the same guys who wear their sunglasses in the terminal sporting their yellow stitch Sketchers, no name tag, unpressed shirt, no hat and blazer unbuttoned flapping with every step!!

So you'll be the guy I see in the terminal wearing black Reeboks with their uniform because they're cheaper than dress shoes.

 

[CRJ puppy]

Guess we won't even mention the guys that button ALL the buttons on their blazers...(bottom buttom is always supposed to be unbuttoned...except for military uniforms, which we don't have).

It's about comfort, noise protection, and value. Relax.
