Bose X headset and Netjets

[800DRIVER]

I had a Bose tech rep tell me the problem with the microphone jack on the Bose X headset is unique to Netjets airplanes. I find this a little hard to believe. Anyone else outside of Netjets having problems with the microphone plug on the Bose X headsets ?

Nope...the Bose work great for me.

800 - describe the problem you're having. I'm still not 100% sold that the Bose X is worth the $1k I paid and my 30 days is coming up. I find that I am flying a lot of the time with one earmuff on the side of my head because the other pilot is using a light weight or not wanting to use the lame intercom the Lears have. Some pilots at my company even have three headsets so they will have the same type as the other pilot they are flying with. This is just too extreem for me. I'd like to have one good all around headset that I can fly a long day with and my head won't hurt at the end.

The Bose mike plug is different from most other headset mike plugs if you hold them up side by side. About 50/50 on the Netjet fleets, pilots are having the mike plug not work or you have to rotate it off a dead spot to get it to work. Bose says it is worn receptacles in the aircraft or everyone else's plugs are a little larger - of course theirs are to specs - and wearing the receptacle so theirs do not work. No problem in our fleets with other headsets I am aware of except the Bose.

I know this is a bit off topic, but I use a Bose headset in the military, and I keep getting shocked. This is the second headset I've had that does it. I know the jack and wiring is different for the civilian versions, but has anyone else had that problem?

While flying along does anyone ever hear a series of beeps in their Bose X headset? They are not there all the time and will only beep for a few times but it is distracting. Any comments?

I dont know if this helps, but I have the same problem when I have been flying the local douschess. It sucks having to bring along to ole DC's to build time.

This happen to you on the ground? If you are near a radar station it beeps with the radar swings...I realized this on a ramp in Vegas...mine beeped ever so slightly each time the radar passed my direction.

I'll second that.
