how are the batteries on those things? I guess you can always get rechargeable... I have the Bose X and I kinda wish I had the QC2 w/ u-fly mic so I could use the QC2s to listen to music.

I went to radio shack and bought a stereo to mono adapter (female stereo with male mono) and its worked like a dream ever since! Unfortunately, now that I am holding more senior lines, the senior CAs arent all that fond of headsets.

Hope this info helps any of you who are as puzzled as I was!

I fly with a QC2 and Ufly mike, love it. Only problem with it is that it is not TSO'd, so some companies may not let you use it. But for me in the 747 with all the wind noise, it was worth every penny that it cost. Makes commuting much more tolerable.

Seems a lot of people have good things to say about the QC2 with the UflyMike. Does anybody know if I would have problems from Piedmont with that head-set? I don't wanna get something I can't use as anyone could imagine. lol Seems it is the most practical of them all, and for a pretty good price.
I like the Telex 850 as well, seems like a nice headset- is there a plug in for music on it?
Which headset provides better ANR, the Clarity Aloft or the Telex850? Anybody else have the Clarity Aloft? The Clarity Aloft looks pretty comfortable, its advertised on most sites for like $525, and it does have a music plug-in as well, but seems it might not block out noise that well? Then again with the Telex you don't need batteries, which is awesome. hmm

I use a telex 850 and most of the captains I fly with use something similar. The Dash cockpit isn't too noisy so I've gotten used to using the telex and can say that I prefer it over my bose because its smaller and fits better in my flight case.

I would be weary of the QC2 in a turboprop. Compared to a full style headseat (lightspeed bose or DCs) the QC2 just doesn't have the same decibel reductions in the lower frequencies. I personally use the LS 30-3Gs that have great decibel reductions and I wouldn't want any less in the saab.
