Headsets and the Turboprop

I've been getting about 100 hours out of the batteries in the Bose flying in the CRJ

X10 on the Bose... Highly recommend, Plus you can write it off too.

Awesome point. I probably would have forgotten about that.

Has anyone gone from flying years with David Clarks and then moved on to a single sided headset like the Telex Pro III or the Mach 1?

I'm just curious if having the audio in one ear would drive me nuts at first.

How about a Telex 750 on ebay for $80 and some free ear plugs form the crewroom and you're good to go. Worked for me back when I was prop trash.

Every article on the subject I've ever read confirms that ANR does protect your hearing. Where did you hear the opposite?

Mine work a litttle harder in the "Bro". About 75 hours for me on a pair of AA's. Are you remembering to turn yours on The Bose are really nice but I swapped headsets one leg with a guy using some DC's with the Headsets Inc. mod that's about $170. They really did a good job of reducing the noise. I find no real difference in comfort for me and I'd convert my old 13.4's before I shelled out $1000.00 for the Bose. I was given a "spare" set of the Bose X to use so I won't complain.

The single ear piece does take time getting use to, but I would not recommend a single ear piece for a T'prop.
I just switched back to a dual headset (Telex Airman) and that is taking some time to get use to also but I have problems understanding the Japaneese controlers,sometimes

Get the BoseX for a turbo prop. I just got my Mach 1 headset and it really kicks a$$. The ear plugs block all the wind noise in the ERJ, and its way more comfortable than clamps.

Is the mike really sensative and pick up a lot of wind noise like the telex or is it better?
