Yea, it’s amazing how a simple question can spark such a debate. I’m going to listen to my music no matter what any of these Yahoos say, so maybe I can get a few direct answers without all the Hub-Bub.

Not in my cockpit, FO!
 
Or you could buy the Shure E2C monitor type earplugs, use one of them to hear the music in one ear, and ATC in the other ear. The headset fits over the earplug just fine. Also no way for the CVR to hear it. I have never tried it, but I do know that it would work.

As if you would ever know if the guy plugged an mp3 player inline with his headest or slipped an earbud under his headset.

By the way, with that attitude, I'm sure you're a joy to fly with.

Headsets come off at 180 you stuipd moron! Wouldn't be too hard to figure it out with extra wires coming out of his headset. Get a Clue a$$ wipe.

Obviously, you don't fly the ERJ...Headsets come off at 180. Pilots are deaf by 24.5.
 
JUst get an old Ghetto blaster with the bass booster and crank it! never had a complaint from the other pilot or the pax.
 
It works in the brasilia too. I made one. all I did was cut off the bigger plug to an old headset, strip part of the cord off, buy a small stereo plug you stick into your mp3 player and fuse them together. Works great. You then stick it into the jumpseat, and push its hot mic button on. Rock on!
 
The 5% rule

Ask your woman, she knows.

After flying with 200 + pilots over the course of my career, I have discovered that approximately 5% of all pilots are plain/plane a$$holes. You are in that group.

Wow. You really have some serious anger management issues. I would suggest a nice, soothing regimen of music, but......

Also, in the CRJ most guys wear the headsets the whole time, especially if they have the telex ones. If my FOs have extra wires sticking out of their headsets, I've never noticed. Then again, I'm not in the habit of gazing longingly at my FO's...... Perhaps you can't say the same.

And I'll stick with my previous assesment. If I ever had to fly with a jerkoff like you I'd be going for my visine bottle every time I saw you leave water lying around.

If you look at my profile you would see that it does not say FO. I guess I don't have to worry about it being your cockpit, do I.

Like I said, "just a bunch of YAHOOS"

AMEN!
 
And one more thing....

Having toured ORD and MSP towers, I have noticed some form of boom box present. And certainly on occasion checking in with controllers, I've heard music in the background. Plus while sitting in one the 737 jumpseats one time, the lead FA brought up a CD player with speakers and all 5 of us listened to some tunes in a super cramped cockpit (another jumpseater was present). Soilders in war time have listened to music to keep up their energy levels. My point; it's not a bad idea to play tunes on the job. If it makes one feel good by providing a positive energy vibe, then job perfomance is enhanced.
 
328Dude's plan still needs a plug for the .206 mic jack. Those are harder to find- I've been looking for a few days now. Arizona Pilot Supply has an adaptor that seems to fit the bill, but short of cutting off a mic plug from a broken headset and splicing it yourself, I haven't found too much else out there.

I personally have just been using a cheap $3 earpiece I picked up at some music store and I wear my Davis Clarks over them. The other guy can't hear your music, but then again, who wants to listen to Wierd Al at 30,000' anyway?

Of course, this is all highly unprofessional. What I really should be doing is either scanning the skies for rouge Al-Qeida fighters or have my nose buried deep in the POH. I mean, it can get really busy up there at FL300 with George flying...
 
Hey Lequip if I flew with you I would eat only tuna sandwiches and fart the entire trip.

The one I pointed out from Flightcom has the .206 on the one end and the standard 3.5mm on the other.

Why are you still searching unless you are planning on making your own which is way above my electrical knowledge.
 
you can buy .206 adapters from Aircraft Spruce and Supply for about 5 bucks a piece, go to radio shack and buy the headphone adapter and some wire, a little srink tubing, some solder and there you go.. for about 10-12 bucks just what you are looking for.. not that I know anything about it......
