P.S. The reason I don't like the adapter that you suggested is that I think its annoying enough to have one cable hanging over your shoulder, much less 2...

Easy fix - DC X11's, they come with everything you need. You can even use your cell phone through the headset. And if your batteries go dead w/no replacements the X11's will still work unlike the bose. Nothing against the Bose they're a great product, just compare if your shopping for a new set up.

BTW: here are the pieces you need for the Radio Shack solution:
6-Ft. Shielded Cable, 1/8" Plug to 1/4" Stereo Plug - RadioShack.com Gold-Plated 1/4" Stereo Headphone Plug Adapter - RadioShack.com Total price 11.98, does the same thing as the 35 dollar version linked about except its 2 pieces instead of one. Also alternativley use the following if you want a longer cord: 3-Ft. Gold-Plated 1/4" Stereo Headphone Y-Adapter - RadioShack.com |
Ok since we are talking headset mods, does anyone know anything or have any experience with the kit that turns DC's into ANR headsets. They have a whole new speaker setup that goes in the earcups, and it is supposed to be a do it yourself mod. ANR Kit Order. Anyone done this to their headsets?

1. the DC X11 sucks, but looks cool
2. Bose are great, but no aux input for ipod or phone 3. Lightspeed Zulu, A little bigger than bose but has everything you could want. VERY comfortable. I have used all 3 a lot. That is all................ BUT at the time Bose was offering NO-interest financing! Worked out to a very manageable $85 a month... plus they threw in a cool leather lined PNR headset to use with laptop/ipod etc. I don't know if they are still doing that, but it was well worth it to me, been very happy with the bose |

While the Bose are the most expensive, I actually bought mine when I was a starving flight instructor... reason? I was flying at least 8 hrs a day and my flightcoms were giving me bad headaches.. I didn't have $400-$700 for a decent comfy ANR headset.

I'd keep your DC's original. I did this mod and wish I hadn't. Yes they reduce the noise but its not that great. I also got feedback while I was using them sometimes. The loud, piercing, squealing sound that causes hearing loss and PAIN. I probably wired it wrong.
