Headset (MD compatible)
 

All,
Did a search on headsets, and got some good baseline data, but I want to get some more recent data.

I'm looking for a behind the head/in ear headset, and needs to be MadDog compatible. About the only thing I can find that's TSO'd (company reqd) is the clarity aloft, but it's $700.

I saw a headsetdr.com mentioned in an earlier thread, but it appears the link is bogus. Please help a new hire out who's looking to save some money.

Perks page on dlnet has Bose products. If you call ask about factory refurbished units.

Maybe the retiring pilots should toss theirs in a new hire bin on the way out....

Headset dr went out of business a few years ago. Clarity aloft is a good headset.

I'm leaning towards the newer David Clark Pro- X..a couple hundred bucks cheaper than the bose..same features fwiw

Plantronics Headsets for Aviation

The MS50/TS30-2 is what I've got.

Tell you what doesn't work...QC-15/Uflymic combo. At least it didn't in the MD I was flying.

I just picked up a Pro X at Sun-n-Fun last week. I have been using it on the Mad Dog this week and really like it.

Awesome.. Good to hear. Did you get a good deal on it at Sunnfun?

Yeah, Aircraft Spruce bought my tired, worn out Bose X and gave me a $425 credit towards the DC. I couldn't say no to that deal!

I appreciate the replies ladies/gents, but several of the models you mentioned are over head. I'm tired of headsets messing up my hair or leaving ear muff imprints around my ears. That's why I'm looking for a passive headset.

I know it sounds stupid, but might as well not mess up the hair while I've still got it. :/
