Headsets for EMB 120
 

Just wondering if the Bose headsets are compatible with the Brazillia.

Yes! I hook mine onto the panel at my right side and it works great:D

No it's not, you should just give it to me because it's going to be worthless to you :D

yes
 

They are compatible with the Brasilia. Not sure about the Brazillia :)

What about the "bro" brah? In best SoCal accent.

Anyone use the Bose Quiet Comfort 2 with the boom mic adapter on the Brasilia? Any performance reviews?

Bose??? Who can afford those, I just have to plug my ears with my fingers in the Saab.

I currently use the QC2/UFLYMIC set up in the EMB-120, they don't work quite as well as the Bose X's (which I used when I was an EMB FO) but they still work extremely well. I enjoy how light they are (half the weight of the Bose X’s) and how universal they are (great for commuting). In the end they work great and at half the price/weight you can’t go wrong.

I highly recommend them.

Very good. Thanks.

Pending the level of ones own vanity, the bose X can be used as well. I am not a very vain person so iff ever you se a commuter with his eyepod on under a pair of Bose X thats prolly me:eek:

Wow, I hope you're joking.

Not to hijack this thread or anything but i've been thinking about buying either a set of bose or Lightspeed Zulu... I've read plenty of good things about the Bose... but the fold flat capability and bluetooth/ external music source appeal to me on the Zulu... anyone flown 121 with the Zulu and could give a review or even vs. bose?

I hope you are!:D

Just buy a pair of earmuffs and a bullhorn. You won't get that far away from your base airport anyways.

i do... bought it about 2 months ago, works awsome!, the new adapter has an audio input, so i can just turn up my ipod so i can drown out the capt yelling at me. :)

I have used the Zulu for the past 6 months and am really happy with it. Just like you said the fold flat feature and the fact it has an audio input give it the upper hand on the Bose. I don't really use the bluetooth but it is pretty slick if you had the time to talk on the ground. At 850 vs 1000 they are basically the same price. Either way you can't go wrong, but with as much time as you spend in the air it is amazing the Bose has not added some of the features that Lightspeed has.

Best advice I've ever received.

LOL! Really? You must be joking. I owned a pair of Bose X's, for their price and weight, you can have them. Yes they are great but they aren’t worth the price. JMO, but I’ll take the Bose QC2/UFLYMIC set up any day. That is unless you plan on giving be a set of Bose X’s……………then I’ll sell them on Ebay……..buy the QC2/UFLYMIC set up and pocket the profit.

BTW, if you're walking though the airports with your Bose X's on..........................LOL! That about the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Take Care.

Just curious if anyone had any experience with the UFM and E120s with the QC15s? Anyone every have any issues at OO because the headsets aren't technically TSO'd?

(sorry to resurrect a dead thread, thought it would be better than starting a new one)

Nah dog just hook a microphone into some Dr. Dre studios and you'll be BUMPIN in no time!

I use the Zulu's in the Dash8. Got them on ebay for 700 bucks about a year ago, virtually band new. Warranty carried over too.

I absolutely LOVE them! They work great. My ears used to ring after a flight, now they don't.

One thing I did do however is take off the original head pad and purchased a brand new David Clark "super soft" H-10 head pad. Here's a picture: David Clark Super Soft Head Pad - MyPilotStore.com The new pad fits the headset fine and makes the headset much more comfortable. I doubt most would have an issue with the original pad, but it gives you hot spots try this - it was night and day better for me.

The feature I like the most is that when there is no radio chatter, or talking between pilots, the Zulu will cut out all the background hiss and give pure silence. To achieve this one must turn the volume on the headset up to about .75 or higher and then use your comm panel to bring the volume back down to a comfortable level. If the volume on the headset is set below the .75 threshold it doesn't seem to counter the hiss. Took awhile to figure this out.

I've tried the bose X and the QC-15 uflymike. To me they don't even compare to the Zulu's in my opinion.

I haven't really used the blue-tooth except to call my dad once in my living room. Seemed to work fine. Voice quality was excellent. Oh that reminds me the sound quality in the plane was remarkably better than I'd ever heard in my other run of the mill headsets. Makes a long flight quite a bit more pleasant and counters fatigue quite a bit I think.

I use a Bose A20 in the brasilia and it works fine. My company is in an ongoing battle with the DOM as he is convinced that noise cancelling headsets will burn out the audio panels (says he was told that at an Embraer maint symposium or something:p)......we are all still awaiting the outcome, but for now....:D

No issues. I've flown with many people who have used them.

Is he some kind of stupid or something? Everybody knows that the standard fix for a burnt out audio panel is "Rerack the Flap Control Unit". That fixes Everything!

I use the A20 in the Dash. Previously had a Bose X and Zulu and it's night and day difference. To me the Zulu felt cheap and didn't hold up to use, the X was nice, but the A20 is absolutely top notch. Excellent noise cancellation, pretty good battery life, and has held up well in both 135 and 121 ops.

Right or wrong this has become a big issue....I am afraid. I personally think its far-fetched

Sorry to drift the thread, but does Colgan require you to provide your own headset?

If so, I am assuming it has to be TSO'd. My current headset (Clarity Aloft) is not.
