And I have a really good entertainment headset as part of the deal - I use it all the time when flying as a passenger in big aeroplanes.
Three professionals who have tried my system immediately went off and ordered one for themselves. If I was to do it again, I would probably consider the Sony WH-1000XM3 headset for which Avee also make an adapter and which is reputed to have better noise cancelling. Although how relevant an audiophile's review is to the din in a Cessna is probably debatable!
This is interesting, as surely 'entertainment' headphones are probably lighter and less clunky that typical aviation sets
Means I could watch the football at home without the missus complaining about the volume too.... :-D
On the downside as mentioned, no one will know im a Pilot!
Im curious to the durability of these type of designs? I see theres a couple of different options - Avee, Uflymike and NFlightmic
