Lightweight Headset - Which one?

[Popgun]

Can anyone recommend the best brand and model lightweight headset? Also, which company has the best deal? It needs to be compatible with the 742 audio system. Thanks in anticipation :)

Pop, standard fare seem to be the usual uninspiring Telex or Sennheiser.

Sony used to make two very impressive looking lightweights which are unavailable in Europe as far as I know, but may still be found( at huge cost) in some US specialist outlets, range now discontinued so spares likely to be not available.

All I have found that looks useful are a couple of models by Plantronics which both feature an "in ear" ie plug in earpiece with either a headband/specs mounted mic or a sort of hook over ear module like a hearing aid. Headset Services advertise in Flight Intl and supply at sensible sounding prices.

I have tried none of these myself.

Telex is the best one I have tried.
They run about $50.00 without the boom mike.
On my third Telex now. They last about 4-5 years of heavy use.
Very comfortable.
