Ultra headset

I would guess about 1/2 the pilots use their own, for comfort or hygenic reasons.

I also want to be albe to hear... well... anything when I get a bit older.

I agree with Irish. I too have the Quiet Comfort 2's with the Ufly mike. Unbelievable comfort, unmatched sound.

I've been using the Telex 850 in the Encore for almost 2 years and it works quite well. The QC2/UFlyMike combo is another popular option.

I have the bose X. I wouldn't spend a dime on any thing else.

I wore earplugs for the longest time. I've tried the qc2, but it's night and day difference b/t them and the X

 

[gutshotdraw]

The biggest difference being there's no MP3 input on the X. I've used 'em both and I'll stick with the QC2 / Uflymike thank you very much.

 

[Irish Pilot]

Yup same...I actually sold my Bose X once I got the QC2. Ill admit...its not quite as quiet, but its still great and even more comfortable. Im sure it really depends what aircraft you are in though.

... and you look like a dork wearing an X in the back of the airline

 

[Canucit]

true no mp3 plug ins but the X is a really great set and you dont have to turn them on
unless there is no one on board

I agree on the Bose X- expensive, yet one of the best investments I ever made... it has greatly reduced fatigue. I do hear great things about the QC2/U4M combo but wanted the extra protection of the full X, as well as the ability to use it in some private GA flying and instructing that I occasionally do. As for MP3 adapter for non QC2's, there is at least one out there for all headsets and I'm going to try it out- will report back.

Had the QC2 / Ufly set up for about a month and will never use anything else. Almost as quiet as the Bose X but more comfort, lighter, more versatile, more compact, half the price, and now comes with a nice little MP3 player.
