Headset
Hello,
I'm looking for an headset. I've tryed an Lightspeed 20XL in an Motor Glider and couldn't find it that silent I espect. I tryed the good Quality passive Headset of the other pilot and couldn't find it noticeable louder, he tested mine and had the same opinion. The cockpit communication sounded bether with the Lightspeed but without ANR the Lightspeed was louder. I have no change to compare much headsets, has somebody done? I've also red some reviews in the net, but found no real comparison. |

Do you want a headset that is totally silent? Not possible unless the noise
reduction is shaped specifically to your plane's acoustical signature. That will cost you thousands of dollars. This might help you decide. http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/cont..._headsets.html http://www.wings-aviation.com/ANR%20Kit/ANRKIT.html Also, try one of these if you want to adjust the sound quality of your passive headset. They'll require use of plug adaptors and a stereo to mono converter. Use with ANR headsets may bring undesirable results but you might try these anyway to experiment. http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=2277601 http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=33%2D1097 "Ingo Wolf" wrote in message ...

I've had good experience with a Telex Echelon that cost something like $165. Comfortable, good audio and cheap, but no ANR. Recommended for people who fly ~5 hours a week, FWIW. I'm flying more than that, but I like it a lot better than my old David Clarke clone. (Probably pointless, but I like hearing the engine too much to spend the extra cash on ANR right now.) -c "Ingo Wolf" wrote in message ... Hello, I'm looking for an headset.

Mostly because you're not being blasted by a wall of other noise. Unusual sounds stand out better above the background. What kind of Headset do you use ???

It's a miracle of modern technology that some of these fsckwits still draw breath, much less a paycheck. -- Marc Bowden |

Read what others say he
http://www.ipilot.com/forum/topic.aspx?fid=685 Try this too. http://www.ipilot.com/forum/topic.aspx?fid=685 When I was looking into a headset I couldn't find a comparison either. So I read reviews and tried to extrapolate conclusions. Good Luck. "Ingo Wolf" wrote in message ... H.P. wrote: Do you want a headset that is totally silent?

I was afraid it would block -out- the engine sound. One of these days I'll get with the times, I guess. =c |
