rj headsets again

[Hootie9750]

Does anyone have any experience as to which is quieter in the cockpit, the bose qc2 combo or the sennheiser hmec25? I currently have an old huge knockoff headset that wont fit in my flight bag with the 85lbs of jepps. I just got the bose qc2 in the mail but after putting them on they dont seem to block out as much noise as I would like.
I dont care if I can listen to my ipod, I just like it quiet but it also has to fit somehow in the flight case. Thanks!!

The bose QC2 with the UflyMike does a great job for me.

I have them and they work great. They are small and fit on top of my jepps in its case. You can get a discount and no interest payments from the ALPA website.

I just got the QC2 and Uflymike set and I will not trade them for anything. Sitting in a relatively quiet room and turning them on does not do them justice. you have to try them on a plane. The bose seems to take both the painful highs and lows out of sound. The bose X are good but ugly and expensive. The Heisenbergerstiens or whatever are good and more rugged than the QC2s but heavier, bulky and give about the same performance. I didn't even mention batteries. The QC2 uses one AAA and it's in one earphone not inline on the cord.

try the lightspeed mach 1 before you commit to either of the two your looking at now....light comfortable....easy to carry anywhere...500 bucks...well worth the investment

I just dont like sh1t in my ear if it doesnt have to be there.


I guess I'll just have to give the qc2's a try in the a/c, hopefully they can quiet the cockpit better than they can quiet my television.

That is about the worst justification I have ever heard. Do you plan on wearing your headset to bar on overnights?

Simple fact: the Bose X is the best aviation headset ever made...period.

I disagree; the thing has no passive attenuation at all. None. A jet aircraft has a lot of high-frequency wind noise that ANR does nothing to attenuate.

I'm not saying the Sennheiser is perfect, but when the battery dies you at least still have some hearing protection.

Not a "headset" as required by:

Do your own research. Even check the uFlymike website, not TSO'd
