Wondering if there is a good pair of headsets out there that you can comfortably listen to an ipod with?

Only ones I know of are the LightSPEED Aviation Mach 1 Headset

 
Iron Eagle wannabe.
 
I plug my sirius sattelite radio right into my DC x11's. Works like a charm. You can just feed it right into some intercoms. Your voice will always cancel out the feed when you broadcast over the air.
 
The local Beauty shop has closed, anyone know where I can get frost to dye the front of my spiked hair?
 
With or without Ipod, Mach 1 is the best headset ever! Their customer support is unreal! Cannot recommend them enough!
Good luck with your desicion
 
In my opinion the Bose/QC2 setup is the best for your money. If you commute, you'll love the headset by itself on the way to work.
 
I love music just as much if not more than the next guy...but can folks really not go more than a couple hours without their tunes?

You only work a couple of hours a day? I listen to music to drown you out when we fly together. All you ever want to do is talk, talk, talk...you're like my wife.
 
Do you work for Mesa??

All kidding aside, this isn't a bad question for those midwest flyin' / back of the clock flyin' son of a guns!

That means "no".

You probably wouldn't like to meet the XXX 757 crew I jumpseated with who had both takeoff and landing songs using a speaker you plug ipods into. He told me hes done this for years and swears that it makes his landings better.

I don't have a problem with that at all...but I'm sure an FAA inspector would.
 
There are two types of pilots....cool ones and those who would say something like that.

Oh noes! I'm uncool because I think there's a growing segment of pilots (mainly regional, some otherwise) that simply cannot live for two or three hours without their Fall Out Boy! Whatever am I to do???
 
Good 'ol Dave Clarks work great. You just put the ear bud in under the headset and turn the radio up.
 
If you want an adapter to be able to plug anything with a 1/8" mic jack into the jumpseat intercom, send me a PM. I will make a new batch if I get enough interest. They are $20. Don't be fooled by the ones you can buy from sporty's and such, they only produce sound in one of your earpieces, which is very annoying.

Yeah that might be a good way to go however I am scared it will come over the CVR...So even if something small happens and they pull the tapes you might have some more explaining to do.....Think I would rather stick to a set up that you can plug in directly to your ANR box....
