Mic does not have to be hot for the anr to work on the 850.

Do you use the 850 in the 737?

 

[FlyMeSWA]

not the a/c in question but I use the Telex 850 in Citation's (550), with such a huge windshield its not bad at all, I'm very satisfied with them, and no, the mic does not need to be hot for the ANR to work. Excellent headsets. Small, lightweight, blocks out enough wind noise for me.

How well does the Telex 850 work in the CRJ?

My vote

Telex 850's! Love them! Well worth the $

They work verry well woth my iPod too. = )

Any recommendations for a headset in a RJ, that has a music input and is light?
Right now using David Clarks that I've had since 1995.
Lightspeed look nice, but a little pricey.

anyone tried that new DC-X11?

Yes, sending them back this weekend. The WORST headset I have EVER used! There is practically no ANR and the sound quality is horrible. I'll write up a full review and put it on my site if youre interested!

A total waste of $750.00!!

How does the ipod work with the Telex 850? There a plugin for it? From what I've read its not a great headset for an Embraer plane.

 

[BoDEAN]

Any idea how the Bose / Uflymike works on an E145?

 

[SuperFLUF]

Mic does not have to be hot for the anr to work on the 850.

Any aircraft that has a CVR should not need the mic to be hot to power the Telex 850.

I use one in the 737's and it cuts the noise down almost to 767 levels.......almost.

Every guy I fly with that has a Telex 850 has a lot of background noise. They have cheap mics that don't cancel out any ambient noise.

I've been using the Clarity Aloft headset for 7 months now and I'll never use anything else. Almost 40db of passive noise reduction, no batteries, and you never even feel them.

Tested out the Lightspeed Zulu's last week, and they are great!

Southwest Selects Telex Airman ANR 850 As Standard-Issue Pilot Headset


Will Be Issued To Over 5,000 Pilots At Dallas-Based LCC

Telex announced this week that Southwest Airlines of Dallas, TX has selected the Telex Airman ANR 850 headset as its standard cockpit headset. The Airman 850 will be issued to each of the 5,000+ pilots who fly Southwest's fleet of more than 500 Boeing 737s.

​

Following an extensive evaluation and testing of many headsets, Southwest executives chose the Airman 850 for its overall design, comfort, and effective ANR.
In particular, Telex says that Southwest appreciated the headset's ability to significantly reduce cockpit wind noise, which allows for both enhanced communication clarity between pilot and air traffic control and increased pilot comfort. The Airman 850's battery-free operation means less expense and less environmental impact.
"As the market leader in aviation headsets, Telex is the brand of choice for nearly 70% of commercial pilots, and we are thrilled that Southwest Airlines has also made Telex their brand of choice for active noise reduction," says John Weeks, Sales Manager, Telex Aviation products.
"We greatly appreciate the confidence that Southwest has shown in us by selecting the Airman 850 for its cockpit crews, and, as leaders in each of our fields, we look forward to a long and productive partnership."
