as everyone else said the 145 is a noisy little toy, think it has a little to do with it's an EMB-120 cockpit, that is now going 320 KIAS above 10k, however, i haven't noticed it (except some birds that were louder than others) being overly loud in cruise at FL370, low teens and going fast however, oh yeh, you'll go deaf.

I have those sensitive ear plug headsets. I hate being above 250 KIAS! TOO LOUD!!

well we're getting a little off topic. we know its loud and when its loud. are there any recommendations on headsets other than the traditional clamp-ons? im really over those! telex 850 is a little pricey, but i have a feeling im gonna have to suck it up and go that steep to be happy.

They're in MINT condition and I'll include a $35 Ipod y-connector.

I used a Bose headset in the 145 and never turned the ANR on. They worked just fine and were more comfortable then the company provide DC's. The one trip I had to work without my own headset was torture. Any headset that covers your ears should be fine. Yea, it's loud in the 145...for a jet. Compared to any GA aircraft it's quiet. Just find something you're comfortable with and go.

Right now I have my Telex Echelon 100s. They cost about $140 back in 2002 when I got them and in my honest opinion they are better, no, WAY BETTER than the DC X11 that I wasted a month trying. Man, that thing was a massive joke.
Now I'm saving up for the Zulu...someday!

I haven't been sick in years. I don't think it's being too trusting as much as not being a germ freak. All of these flu shots, wiping everything down, etc. and it seems like those people are the ones getting sick. I'll whipe the headsets and if I remember to whipe the yoke then great if not who cares.
