Headsets

I believe that a friend of mine bought two of this brand for about
$50.00 each to use during Young Eagles flights. I placed them in the
back seat of my Cherokee for the kids to use. Within 2 or 3 flights
the boom for the mic fell out of one of the headsets. I spent the rest
of the day shoving it back in so the kids could you them. Also, one
set seemed to pick up a bunch of ambient noise, enough to break the
squelch on the intercom. Then again that could have been just because
they didn't put the mic close enough to their mouth.

I'm almost positive they are Feather Lite but won't know for sure
until I get out to the hangar this weekend.

If they are, I would steer clear of them.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi

I'm in the market for a headset and have seen new headsets on e-bay
bearing the "Feather Lite" brand.

Does anyone have any experience with these headsets? Any opions as to
quality of build, sound etc.etc. Any relevant info appreciated.

The price is right but I want to be sure they're just junk which will
bust in a couple months.

Given I'm a still student pilot I don't want to spend too much on my
first set and then decide I want something different down the track. I
also don't want to keep using the units provided by my school - damn
cooties...

Cheers
