headset
Hi there,
I fly an Airbus and recently bought a Sennheiser HMEC25 ANR headset from ebay for £150. Worth every penny. The passive noise suppression is excellent, and with the ANR switched on, it is truly excellent. You also get the dual benefit of clearer radio reception and the ability to have the volume turned right down to minimum on the radio. We use only one of the ear pads, leaving the other up for communications with the other guy, but if you can use both in your airline, then the ANR is fab!
There are a few on ebay at the moment. Don't worry about the connection type, the one i bought had the Boeing dual plug connection, but an adapter can be purchased for about £30, or make one, as i did.
