PIREP: FeatherLite headset

All,

I just bought one of those FeatherLite headsets off of Ebay.
I figured for $40, what could it hurt?
I was pleasantly surprised!
It seems to be a quality product.
It is light, has a flex-boom mic, and folds up really small.
Noise attenuation is on par with the other headsets I've used.

The only downside I can think of is the mic.
I'm not sure, but I think it is an omnidirectional mic.
It seems to pick up a lot of noise.
I noticed that if I cup my hand in front of my mouth and the mic when on the
PTT, the noise seemed less.
That's what made me think it was omnidirectional.
That said, even without cupping my hand, the noise is not *that* bad.

Bottom Line:
Dollar-for-dollar, the best headset I've used.
Can be small enough for a small child, or large enough for large adult.
I would highly recommend these over any other for use for pax.
As a student, I bought an Avcomm AC-200 for $89.
This one is just as good for half the price.

Sometimes a good deal really isn't too good to be true ;-)
