QC2 Headset
 

I just bought a used QC2 from ebay along with the uflymike adapter from their website.
I would highly recommend this for anyone considering a new headset. I am currently in the CRJ-900.

Plug your ipod in yet?

Do they work well with an ipod? Would be kinda nice.

Yup! At the botton of the UFlymike unit (where the wire goes into it) is a female opening. Buy a wire with 2 male ends. They sound just like they would if you used the QC2 with the Ipod alone. The music is not muted when ATC talks so just find a nice balance. Its the only way to fly!

LOL my company's DO just sent out a memo (after pulling a cvr for an incident and discovering the FO was listening to his ipod in cruise {him and CA were talking about battery life}) and it said: this is strictly prohibited and i don't know where you learned this. we certainly did not teach you this. HAHA. just thought i'd share that. i found it funny. he talked about not reading a newspaper in flight either. cuz that hasn't been done since the beginning of aviation. :rolleyes:

They also didn't teach him what the "Erase" button was for on the CVR!

All things considered, especially price, I would get the Auri Comm Pro instead.

A used QC2 $200 + uFlyMike $225 (it went up $50!) = $425

Auri Comm Pro = $359.

In ear technology is more effective than earcups at noise reduction, so ANR is not necessary. It can have a custom earmold fitted as well. Plus it is lighter and cooler when it gets hot. Not to mention going through a AAA battery or two every trip is getting old.

BTW- I also bought my QC2 on eBay and it was in OK condition. Later it developed a rythmic humming sound in one ear cup. Bose let me exchange it for a completely new unit for $100 (one time offer).

You really think that works? Techie guys can go through multiple levels of erasure. Really, that button doesn't do anything.

250 is spot on, that button is there just to make you feel good. Not only doesn't it erase, but it will tell them how many times you tried to erase!

Another thing to think about, does your company require (like mine) that any headset used be TSO'd? I don't think the QC2 and uFly meet that requirement either.

The Clarity Aloft Pro does, and it has the input, just don't talk about it, cuz they won't hear it, it isn't on the mike circuit.

I work for part 91 corporate flight department.
