I'd give my right arm for a decent intercom on most of the aircraft I fly

I tend to get hit 3 ways - the Bose requires a little bit more mic bias - I
speak a little bit softly - and most of the intercoms I have the
dis-pleasure of having to use should have been buried with the arc - so for
me, the flightcell works well.

Big debate over Bose pricing - I heard through the grapevine that they sell
something like 600 or 6000 a month and are struggling to keep up with
production - I've got 2 sets now - I used to be a DC fan but just had too
many problems with their latest ANR models (H10-13XL). I'll grab 2 more Bose
when I can afford them (for Pax) - they're light - less clamping force -
solid ANR - readily adjustable for kids - only downside(s) are a touch more
'delecate' (I wouldn't just throw them in a flightbag) - and more emphasis
on ANR rather than passive (which is more of an issue in theory because I
always have ANT turned on (and carry a spare battery)).

By the way - the Bose are $2500 in our currancy

Cockpit,

For me, the advantage of the flightcell was
to boost the mic bias and levels on my Bose headset so that the tower
could
hear me a little easier (the Bose tend to be a bit on the quiet side,
and I
tend to speak a bit too softly).


Nothing a decent intercom wouldn't do. And those 100 $ for the Bose seem
to
have been too much, as well...
