Lightweight headsets...any experience?
The Flight Testing section of PPrune didn't really help... Hope I will have better luck here and I hope I won't p...s o..f the mod's with a double-posting...!
Has anyone bought/tested one or possibly both of those fairly new lightweight headset now available on the market?
I am interested in hearing about the LightFlight MACK1, the ClarityAloft and the Plantronics MS200 models. Slightly different concepts (although I think the MS200 will suit just a liner/bizjet flightdeck) and different prices, I wonder if they are worth it or if it is better to stay close to traditional models like BOSE or DC X11 although price is almost doubled.
Any feedback?
Best regards
DK

I have used the Telex Airman 750 for over 10 years now, both on airliners and coporate. Can't fault them. They have been around for a while mind, so cannot compare to the ones you mentioned.

I've only tried the ClarityAloft version once, but in a very noisy aerobatic aircraft. They work very well in that environment, the damping is superb compared to regular passive headsets and the light weight makes you forget you're wearing them. I found them extremely comfortable, enough so that I will replace my Peltors with a set eventually.
The owner of the aircraft bought two sets and loves them...

Telex 850
Hi,
since youīre asking about those specific models I donīt know if this helps - but I can say I am more than happy with my Telex 850. ANR through the normal plugs, no batteries and small enough to fit in every flightbag.
Compared it with some Sennheiser ANRīs (much bigger) and I can say I made the right choice. And I wouldnīt call the Bose X a leightweight ;-)

TL

I am curious to hear about those who are using this new generation ones: a collegue uses Clarity Aloft in pistons a/cs and they seem to work well. I am just looking for rela experience on the other two or similar types.
Happy chat in frequency!
