Kind of related - Do people go on speaker/off headset at all?
I would love to, but the passengers might complain... (no cockpit doors in our Citations)

And another vote for HMEC-25, but I never need to turn the noise reduction on so a cheaper passive model might be quite as good.

but I've never come across anyone who does it in biz-jets, (even though the ops manual normally allows it).
We do it and I don't like it. I much prefer selecting what i want to listen to.

As for headsets, I love the QC15 with Iflymike, although word of warning for anyone purchasing one, they have short and long mike booms, the short boom is not suitable when you want to have the headset on your right ear.

Another vote for the QC-15 & UFly Mike. Small case, light weight and able to listen other devises.
When I started using it, I coudn't understand why I waited so long to buy one.
A new flying world started to my joy.

About the speaker, it's quieter and more confortable with the headset, so no need to use the speaker.

And if you transition to the Airbus later, there is a cable adaptor available.

I vote for Bose QC + UflyMike BUT I think they are not legal in cockpit. In case of loosing power in batteries, they do not work at all.

The question "Is it legal" comes up often. First of, make sure you need a TSO headset, most people do not. This is ONLY a requirement of your 121 airline (I have no clue about you JAA guys)

The UFLYMike website has all the paperwork and proceedural info right there showing that these are just as legal as anything else.

See for yourself.

fish Headset

I have the Sennheiser ANR Headset.
It is really the best I have ever had.
Mic is sensitive and active for HF.
Noise Reduction passive is very good, active is OK(not so perfect like Bose, but it hums as well a little when selected)
It is very comfortable and light, you could mix in your MP3 (with ANR on only).
I love the master volume which reduces the altimeter alert a lot!
For 380 USD a really excellent price quality!

Has anyone tried the HALO quiet technologies or the Clarity Aloft?

Iīve read some threats on the Bose A20 and looks like is having lotīs of problems for a 1.000$ headset. Sennheiser looks on the price range for the quiality but these small passive headsets HALO and Aloft look really good.

Thumbs up

Highly recommend the clarity aloft. Have been using them for 4 years now and it's the best set I've owned. I've had David Clark's and Bose.

Another vote for the Bose QC/uflymike combo. Less than half the price of the A20 and every bit as good. It's also great for plugging into your mp3/iphone etc. 1 AAA battery lasts forever it seems.

Telex Ascend is excellent except that with Y plugs it needs it's battery which you have to constantly keep recharging.

Does anyone else find the Telex 750 Mic doesn't cancel out noise to well.
What I mean is that when you speak you can hear yourself breathe at the same time bit like having the mask on your face.

I find if moving the mic away from my mouth I dont get it but i find myself shouting to make up for it.

NB I dont have a sponge on the mic.

The fome sponge makes a difference on the 750 but it's still not a great headset in my opinion.
