Thanks.

David Clark has them

David Clark has an excellent quality adapter.
I bought the cheapest one available (like a good pilot) and got about 15 months out of it while at Comair. I wrote (internet) to David Clark and got an excellent quality adapter, smaller lighter and definately industrial strength. Price was maybe 10 bucks more but definately worth it. PM me for a part number in a week or so

If you are going to use a military headset for GA use you have to have a headset that has the high impedence/low impedence switch for the mic or it will not work. You will be able to listen, but not talk. Otherwise you just wasted your 60.00 and might as well sell it on e-bay!

When you by an adapter for the military headset you need to buy not only one which goes from one plug to two plugs but alsohas a small impedance adjuster in it. The David Clark I mentioned previously and some others work fine. The quality of the David Clark is much better though. I used it on a the standard USAF DavidClark 10-71 and 10-71xl (ANR). Flew 2200 hours in 2 1/2 years with them.

Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but are you saying that these things can destroy your headset?

You bought the right part.

No, your headset will be OK..hopefully it will work. When I first started GA I bought the adapter for my Dave Clark and it did not work. I cold hear but not talk...due to not having the switch for the mic. If you bought the adapter for the impedence then it will be OK. If you are just trying to use the one plug to two plug adapter with nothing else..and your headset does not have the switch for the high impedence low imedence mic, then it may not work.

Sorry Dude!
