Headsets are all about personal preference. Alot of guys use the Telex 750. I still use my Sennheiser's cause they have noise canceling. Only problem is alot of the old guys don't like to use the intercom so they become kinda useless plus they go through batteries kinda quickly ( I finally got smart and bought some rechargeable). I think if I were to buy a new headset I would look at the Telex 850- noise canceling without batteries. Definitely spend the money though to get something with noise canceling cause the Dash is quiet but your hearing is more valuable.

Haha, thats funny. We've got like 5 or 6 -300 models with a nifty glass Attitude and HSI indicators. If you want a fancy plane go to PSA.

I use the Telex 850 in the dash. I'm big on protecting my hearing for the long haul. In the -300's it's not really necessary, but I'm sure the -100's can wear down your hearing over the years. The 850 is nice because it has noice cancelling without batteries. For the captains who don't use the interphone, I can often hear them even with both ears on; for the quite talkers I just uncover the left ear and all is well.
