Second is that every profession that is worth anything puts a high value on good tools. From mechanics to dentists. But not pilots, who will use any old crap headset and then complain about how hard it is to understand the controllers. Third is that it does not take a PhD in Statistics to determine that old pilots can not hear very well. And that is not because of the hotel air-conditioning. This comes back to good tools, which not only help you do your job well but also reduce the risk of physical damage. Rant over. Until I go back to work and have to keep telling the other guy what ATC said. |
Well, come to envoy and buy some bose with the sign in bonus.

Your company should provide one for you in the cockpit. At least envoy does.

I financed my Bose A20's back when Bose used to give 0% financing for 1 year. Best investment in my career so far.

It is a little ridiculous to finance a headset, but not nearly as bad as the people in the other thread advocating for huge loans on flight training so they can come to the regionals.

https://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight...ight+ear+plugs offer exceptional noise attenuation for a bargain basement cost. Zero need to finance a headset. Besides, who needs Bluetooth in a friggin' plane.......smh |
Please don't make this very poor financial decision. Buy a cheap used headset if you can't afford one. The DC 13.4 is an old standard and affordable new. Even cheaper, the Telex Echelon - $190 new and actually not too bad.
