I tried some of the newer Bose headsets recently and I couldn't detect any
noise sound reduction difference between them and my DCs. Uh-oh... "Can you hear me now?" ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I upgraded my DC's with the headset inc. I love 'em. Wasnt too hard to do
if you're at all handy with a soldering iron. My only regret was using my DCs to do this upgrade. When your done, the only thing leftover from the original DC's were the shell, and the boom mic. they even have you replace the passive sound insulation inside the cups. In hindsight I would've picked up a cheap pair of softcomm's or similar off Ebay, used them to upgrade, and kept the DC's as Passenger's headset. -Jonathan "Richard Russell" wrote in message ...

Some people say it's bad because you can't hear the engines so it takes longer to discover engine problems and makes it harder to sync the props. OK, I guess it's been a few years since I posted this story, so maybe I'll be forgiven the repetion... I was happily using a DC set when I ran into a kid who had been convinced that he was going to make money on Cessna leasebacks. As a result of this "investment," he was experiencing cash flow problems. I offered him half price (cash) for one of his Bose sets and he snatched it. So I took my new Bose and the DC sets up in a Tomahawk for a little cruise around the prarie. After leveling off, I took off the DC and tried on the Bose. The Bose seemed quite nice, but I then switched back to the DC, just to see. I was amazed that somehow in the few minutes that I had been wearing the Bose, the DC had suddenly broken. It wasn't attenuating noise at all and the racket was deafening. That's how good they a going from an ANC set to a top-quality passive makes the passive seem like no headset at all. I'd never go back. Personally, I like Bose. I've tried Lightspeed and definitely prefer Bose for both performance and comfort. Besides that, you do get great customer service for that outrageous price. Worth it? Couldn't say. I do believe they are the best, but maybe not $500 better than whoever is in second place, if you have to buy them new. |

Plus $19 more for an all-in-one cable, plus $10 more for a battery box which switches itself off. http://www.headsetsinc.com Paul |
