Lightweight Headset

[Stick Man]

every two months . . .

... someone asks this question and the answer is still the same as far as I'm concerned, save your money and buy the auricomms, www.quiettechnologies.com.

Cheaper then all the other headsets out there.

Lightweight.

Easy to use.

Easy to adapt to them (how to use the earpiece).

No more headset hair.

Stereo / mono option.

This is my suggestion and I have approved this message.

Check out www.pantherelectronics.com I'm currently running a try out. Buy the headset and use it for 45 days. If you don't like it then return it to me for a full refund less the cost of making the ear molds. About 60 dollars.

PM me for more info.

I know we used to get an ALPA discount on Sennheiser headsets in addition to interest free financing....does anyone know if this is still the case?

I ordered mine directly through Sennheiser... the number is on their website. The ALPA people just order it from Sennheiser anyway, so I figure I'd skip the middleman while getting the same deal.

Hey,
I used the Telex ANR 500 for over a year, not that great in the CRJ with the old wipers, new wipers it's ok. I then bought the Bose X, huge difference, what anr is all about. As far as all the other choices make sure they have TSO approval since headsets are required per 121 below 18,000 and if it doesn't have TSO approval it is not a "headset".

It's only gonna be awhile till some FAA putz takes this and runs amok.

Re TSO

please post the TSO facts and regs.

Is the CRJ capable of using the ANR headset (like the Sennheiser 25 KAP) that uses the connector (off the aircraft) for power?

Thanks a lot.

I bought a pair of Telex 850s and returned them after one two-day trip. While I really liked the no-battery ANR feature, they pinched the heck out of my ears and a headache would start in after 45 minutes or so. But then again, I wear glasses so perhaps I'm doomed to have this problem forever.

I'm going to try the 5x5's with the earmold next.

I use the 5 x 5 Pro with the custom earmold and really like it. No band over my head, headset hair, etc. I put an earplug in my empty ear, and I can hear the other guy just fine if he takes his off above 18000'. I love how small it is. I wish it cut out more background 'hiss' when my mic is open, however. I still close my hot mic when I'm not talking.
