How to Buy a Headset for the Wife?
I've got 3 headsets. Two sets are cheapies I got when I earned my license 10
years ago, and a nice set I bought when I finished the RV-6. Both models are discontinued. I'm happy with the nice set (Lightspeed 25XL's), but the cheapies have more clamping force, and my wife is uncomfortable wearing them on longer flights. Being PIC, I make sure she understands why it is very important that I wear the nice, comfortable, noise cancelling headsets. Clearly, I need to hear traffic calls, and since her life depends on me when we're in the air, she's very much attuned to my comfort, not hers. ;-) Anyway, how do I go about helping her find a set of headsets she likes? I've never found an avionics shop that loans headsets for a weekend , which is what you really need, since you don't get a real feel for a headsets until you wear them for 3-4 hours at a time. What feels and sounds great in the booth at Oshkosh or SnF may be a head crushing nightmare after you wear 'em for a couple of hours... Thoughts? KB |
