Headset

I also have good things to say about Telex.

Have been using the Telex 5X5 Pro lll for more than 20 years now and have had no problems with either Boeing or AirBus A/C.

Only thing with this headset is that I have to put a piece of tissue in the sound tube to mute the volume from BOTH A/C.
Even with the volume control on the panel turned full low, it is still too loud with a custom ear mold. And that goes for both types.

I had to replace the cord once, when in the 737, I opened the window and the cord got stuck in the track and was cut.

Sent it back to Telex and they threw in a new style electret mic when they replaced the wires.

Can't complain about that at all.

For the AirBus, just get an adapter from Marv Golden, or some one like that, so if you do change fleets, you can take the headset with you.

So much better than spitting into a communal headset.

So many choices now, have fun.
