Airbus Headset?
 

Hi all- new guy to the forum just hired onto the A320- been looking through the threads to find headset recommendations and haven't been able to draw a strong conclusion. What do y'all use?

Looking at either the Telex 850's or just grabbing a used 750 off ebay and replacing the ear and mic covers... any other ideas? Got scared off of using the ship sets from some buddies, and also told the Bose A20s I have are way overkill. Didn't want to drop 500$ on a brand new pair of ANR phones either. (I'm cheap like that)

Thanks in advance! :cool:

I'm just curious what turned you off about using the ship set? I fly with maybe 1 out of 20 people who bring their own headset.

Ah really? Just heard guys say they preferred to bring their own because of germs on the ship ones. Maybe my friends are just germaphobes

We have 750s on the plane, got a pair of 850s from ebay for $200. Totally worth it to me, have been looking at the DC pro X for the Bluetooth, but can't really justify the extra $300 used.

Bring your own mic cover and wipe the headset off with a disinfectant wipe. You’ll only use it under 18.

When you’re done plug in the 750s back.
Thank you.:cool:

I bring my own 850. Ship set is filthy and a sani wipe won’t make up for the food and ear wax left by the previous 50 guys wearing that set.

Save your hearing. Wear an 850 ANR throughout the flight and you can still hear the guy when he takes his headset off.

Not an Airbus pilot but I wore the 850s for a while on the 737. What an uncomfortable headset despite the small size and lightweight.

Awesome, thanks for the replies everyone
