Bose?
I know a lot of people recommend the Bose X, but how many actual airline pilots use them? Or any jet for that matter. Isnt it fine to use these light weight in the ear types, or is it really that loud in the plane?

I don't know much about the RJ operators, but the Bose is king in the T-props, that's for sure.
The ERJ is awfully loud in my experience, so I'm guessing the Bose would work well there, also, but I have no idea for sure.

Any SAAB drivers out there have any input on how well the Bose works out in the airplane? Is there another headset that works equally well for the SAAB but won't cost me most of this months paychek to get? Ive got Lightspeed 15XL's but theyre startin to breakdown and i'm thinkin about upgrading.

I can say the Bose is GREAT for piston stuff but I don't know for jets. I've heard it isn't good in the ERJ because there is no squelch for the mike and it picks up ambient cabin noise and activates the intercom hot mike the whole flight. But again this is just what I've heard. If true, somebody must already have a solution.
