Default Headset question

When at Comair, I used the Telex 750 and I had to turn it up real loud to hear and I missed calls, especially at higher speeds. I have a Lightspeed ANR headset from my GA days and I was wondering if people use Lightspeed at the airlines?

A buddy of mine uses the lightspeed ANR, I don't remember what model it was, but it worked well for him in the ERJ.

A lot of people use Bose and David Clark, I know of several people who use the Lightspeed Mach 1, I just purchased it myself. I have heard from several sources that the CRJ is a bit quieter than the ERJ. Don't know from my own experience though. I have the Bose (that I have been using for the past year or so as a CFI) but wanted something smaller and easier to haul around an airport.

I understand that the Mach 1 is not TSO approved. I don't know all the legalities of using a non-TSO headset but my company specifically requires TSO headsets in the FOM.

That a headset is not TSOed means nothing unless your company specifically has a policy requiring such headsets. It seems there are very few companies that have a TSO headset requirement.

FedEx Cares if it's TSO'd and I'm pretty sure the FAA does too.

Didn't know about FedEx, had heard UPS did and one or two regionals.

As for the FAA, there was a thread a while back on either this or another site regarding the FAA position on it. The position was that their headset TSO was simply a guideline for specs headsets should be built to and was in no way a requirement. As with all things, I guess YMMV.

Southwest requires a TSO'd headset as well.

As does Alaska. The Telex Airman 850 works great.
