Wireless head mounted microphones
I liked the Plantronics microphone I used to use, that clipped onto my
eyeglasses. Eventually, I got tired of the cord, which seemed to be in the way much of the time. Are there any eyeglass clip-on (or ear mounted) style wireless microphones? I've seen some intriquing ear mounted "headsets" used with cell phones that use Bluetooth to connect with the phone instead of a wire, but I haven't seen any receiver for them that could be plugged into an aircraft radio microphone input. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

Wireless head mounted microphones
Eric-
I just checked the Panther site. The headset is definitely not what I expected- it seems to have more cords than normal! There may be a wireless connection to the radio, but there are two individual cords to the ears, a cord to the controller and a cord for a PTT. Plus it is noise cancelling (read pricey). Oh well, it lokked good at first. Sorry. Mark Mocho |

Wireless head mounted microphones
but I haven't seen any receiver for them that could be plugged
into an aircraft radio microphone input. Eric, On paper the Jabra A210 looks close to what you would need to pair with a standard bluetooth headset: http://www.jabra.com/JabraCMS/NA/EN/...A210/JabraA210 You'd probably need to make a 2.5mm socket to Aviation radio jack adapter lead to connect it to a radio. The suggested temp range -10degC to 45degC and yet another 2 Li-Ion batteries (headset & receiver) might conspire to make a cool solution possibly more trouble than its worth?

The ideal solution would be a small receiver that could be powered by the bias voltage on the radio microphone input, so a battery or power connection wasn't needed. Maybe some radios will have BT built into them, and even the standard aviation headsets will go cordless. In the meantime, I'll just have to envy the mobile phone users that walk around, apparently talking to themselves like a homeless person. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |
