One speaker was intermittent, and I could press on the speaker and it would work again. I figured he would fix it and send it back. Ended up getting a brand new headset in the mail. Quick turnaround too. Nothing but great service. Doesn’t work well in loud cockpits though.

Good to know! I emailed him to see if he plans on making anymore. I will report back if he replies.

I looked into these prior to our FOM revision requiring TSO. I was never able to find a time when they were actually in stock.

That being said, if you like the in-ear design, I went with the bose proflight recently and really like it. Of course, the price is a bit steep. Lots of the same benefits as the halo (sunglasses fit fine, able to talk to jumpseaters easily, etc...) but it's TSO'd if you're worried about it.

I've also got the bose proflight's and they're good.

Have you used the A20, how are the comparisons with noise reduction and quality?

If I owned A20's I would not ditch them for the proflights. I used A20's in a PC12 for about 3-4 months and they were amazing. Different noise level between a CRJ. But the proflights work great now, they are not good in a single piston though.

I used the A20's in the CRJ for 4 years and they were great. Made the switch to the proflights so I could have something less bulky. The A20s definitely have better noise cancellation (especially in the lower frequency range), but for the RJ the proflight is just fine. I recommend them for guys flying jets. For anything else, I'd go with the A20.

If anyone is interested, the quiet technologies guy just emailed me back, weeks later, and has readded a few sets to his stock.

He said they'll likely all get sold today. There were 11 remaining when I bought mine a minute ago.
