Ultra headset

[unreal]

Hmmm...does the QC2/UFly setup work well in piston aircraft? I'd be all about the Bose X, but it's a bit cost prohibitive at the moment. The QC2 would be much more in my price range, but I wouldn't want to drop that kind of money unless I knew I'd be better off than with my DCs.

Can't speak for the QC2 but my X seems to have some pretty decent passive protection (ANR doesn't cover the entire frequency band), though its 10x more comfy than my DC's ever were. Granted, the QC2/UFM users like its comfort (esp lightness) more than the X, and obviously the X is too dorky to wear on an airliner, but it has been sheer heaven for me as an Ultra headset. The price is ridiculous but the zero-interest deferred payment scheme at least makes it feel painless.

It will work you just have to figure out if your jacks are stereo or not. You can call ufly and ask mike if you don't know.

I used a Telex Airman 750 in the 560. No earplugs, captain used the hand mic on his side so I had to leave one ear unobstructed so I could hear either the challenge or the response.

BTW -- Irish, that has to be my favorite SNL one-liner! Right up there with Will Ferrell playing Harry Carey next to Jeff Goldblum on his science show. Sorry, back to the flying.

Where did you get the mike for the QC2's at?

Mine just arrived a couple of days ago. I'm anxious to try it out at work! Looks like a really well-built little product. (Thanks, Mike!)

Mostly I'm concerned about the noise reduction. It seems as though that most people who use the QC2/UFly combo are jet pilots...

Now that this thread got moved to the frac board, my question is completely out of place.

If you're (or anyone else) is looking for a nice headset for prop noise reduction, I have a LightSPEED Twenty 3G headset I'm no longer using and looking to sell. Got moderate usage while I was flying 1900s. Not showroom new, but a new headpad, earseals, mic muff, and works great. I haven't put an ad up in buying & selling yet (too lazy), but asking $275. Drop me a PM if interested.

I use the lightspeed mach 1. I like them. They weigh an 1 once and you could plug your mp3 player into it for the long flights.
