Hi All,
Just looking for some opinions and other peoples experiences. Looking at purchasing headsets for Pax usage, just basic inflight commentary. I've had dealings in the past with the DC Listen Only (10S Model) and they seemed fine, the gel seals didn't seem to like the 38degree temps though and needed to be replaced every 3-4months but generally the pax seemed fine with them.
Also having a look at the Pilot PA11-00, has anyone had any experience with these? Obviously they are the preferred choice as they cost half the amount of the DC's but lets face it, if they are going to simply break all the time then there's no point!! Would probably look at replacing the seals with Gel Seals instead of the Foam ones for a bit of extra comfort.
The other thought is to go for something non-aviation specific, like a good pair of Creative or Logitech, the noise in the cabin isn't generally too bad without headsets so the Passive Reduction doesn't have to be too high, would anyone have some suggestions for any decent Headsets they use in day to day life which block out a reasonable amount of background noise? Only going for PNR as ANR would be too much of a pain with batteries!!
I realise there was a thread running similar to this a while back which was closed so i'm really not interested in any debate on the merits of Listen Only vs Normal Headsets as we've already weighed up both and decided Listen Only is the better option for our operation, just looking for peoples experiences on Build Quality and Performance for some Listen Only Headsets!!
