Jens,

well, one solution might be to buy a headset that has a music interface
- and the ANR you always wanted.

I'm very happy with my Bose X, so on that end I'm covered. Best Headset
ever, and I've tried a lot (IMO of course).

You'll need a stereo headset with
decent sound quality anyway. Strikes me as more cost efficient than the
200-$-add-on-boxes as they come from PSE. Lightspeeds would be my first
recommendation.

Personally I don't like the Lightspeeds, and I've tried them almost all,
via former students and friends. My Bose have now "logged" over 2000 hrs
and are quite scratched and all but still work flawlessly. In my
experience they are on par qualitywise with the DCs I had before.

Even with the Koss In-Ear buds I'm using right now, the sound quality
coming from the iPod is excellent. It has very thin wires so the Bose
seals very well, I almost don't hear the engines over the music and the
volume isn't set very high.

It's just that I want to get rid of the extra cables. I don't need
auto-muting or intercom, since I'm listening to music only if I'm not
talking to ATC anyways. And since I'm flying single-pilot I don't need
(or even have) an Intercom in the plane.

There must be something plane jane out there.... :-\

Cheers,
Jens
