rj headsets again

[PCL_128]

On a DC-9 neither a boom mike nor a headphone is required at any altitudes.

My dream come true.

Do you guys actually wear these dang headclamps the entire flight? My headset comes off above FL180 on every single flight. Can't stand wearing any headset, no matter how comfortable or quiet.

Your hearing loss would be pretty substantial if you did this in the ERJ on a routine basis. I am ordering the Mach 1's this week, I will report back afterwards. I am actually selling my brand new bose X's, my old pair suffered some problems (they were around 4 years old, still under warranty) which could not be repaired adequately so they sent me out a brand new pair free. I, like previous posters, find them to be a little too bulky for the flight kit, and not all that effective at canceling the wind noise (tons of it) in the jungle jet. They did work great in all things GA, but I am gonna try out the Mach 1's and see if they are any better. Plus even the Bose get uncomfortable on your head during a long day, I am thinking the Mach 1 will be such a nice alternative, but I have read some of the negative reviews and will have to see for myself.

Concur. I would go absolutely bats..t if I pulled the headset off each time the captain said "nines and twos."

I jumpseated in the back of SWA one time...the CA, FO, and the Fed onboard in the cockpit jumpseat all had the UFlyMike headsets...

I don't think you can go wrong with either.

That's because it's a Brasilia at heart. It wants to be loud; it's in its blood.

Wimp, now, what headset works well in the ERJ?

Just wait until you do IAH-BFL, mister, and leave that headset off for three hours. Let me know how it goes. DC 13.4s are supplied in the plane. I use my own 13.4s from the piston days, however, for purely hygienic reasons. They work well enough for me, at least until I become a rich airline pilot.

Anyone using any of the newer headsets available that can recommend one that is comfortable for long days(lightweight, and not too bulky), and does a good job of keeping down the noise?

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!!

I had the Bose qc2 with the uflymike for a few weeks and it was much too loud. After some advice from a friend, I called Bose and told them it wasn't working well and they said if I return it to them they would send me a new qc15 for $95 bucks (normal price is $295). So I did it and can tell you the qc15 is far superior than the qc2. They are much quieter. FYI...I'm on a Saab. Get the qc15 w/ the uflymike.

Best investment for your $.

Bose Quiet Comfort 15 and the uflymike adapter.
