Turboprop headsets
I'm just wondering what type of headsets do pilots use in turboprops like the Brasillia and Saab 340? Can you use the usual GA type headsets (DC, Bose, etc...) or are these not compatable?
Cheers,

Bloody hell, GA is where you need the Bose X most!

What are peoples thoughts on the various ANR headset options as far as the different brands go?
How are Bose, DC, Sennheiser etc. for comfort, weight, durability, build quality and so on?
Has anyone been able to compare the reduction capabilities of any of these brands?
Which brands/units take AA batteries?

Thanks Jet*.............I'll try and get a peek at a copy.
But I'm inclined to give a bit more weight to the opinions of those in the field than some journo trialling a few for the weekend.
As an example.......Sennheiser have long been a manufacturer of headphones, and I don't doubt the quality of their product (I've got a pair of their cordless headphones), but how will they fare in the heat and dust of the oz outback??

Never tried a Boss x or Sennheiser but for strength and durability I think DC's go well.
Company supplies standard DC's but after going to ANR's will never go back

I have used DC headsets over many years in piston and turboprop aircraft ,including the noise cancelling model. I was not all that happy with the noise cancelling DC. The outfit I now work for provide Bose X - they are the best headset I have ever used, comfortable and very effective - hardly know you are wering them.
