U Fly Mic
Does anyone know if the U fly mike works with the new Bose Quiet Comfort 15? I know the U fly mike is for the QC 2 but the QC 15 is replacing the QC 2
|
I got this off the U fly mike website for what its worth...
QC-15: Bose just introduced a new QC-series, the QC-15. It appears the QC-15 is totally compatible with any UFM, past or present, but we have not physically inspected one ourselves to confirm that information. As soon as we have inspected the new headphones, we will post the results in this section. This was posted in the news section of the uflymike.com website |
thanks for the info

Keep in mind the Uflymike is not TSO's unless you are using the extra ear piece which almost no one does. Take a look at the Tbone headset if you want a legal headset that is inovative and great to use.

If your going to not get a TSO'd headset, might as well go big and get the Zulu's. Hands down the quietest headset ive ever used. For you CRJ guys you don't even hear the avionics fans upfront, or wind noise.

I think the TSO thing is BS. The reason the UflyMike has met so much resistance is probably because Bose doesn't want to have a product competing with its $1000 aviation X headset. I have used the QC2 for years now, and have never had a problem with it, I highly recommend it. Everyone I have recommended it to has loved it. If these new QC15's are even more quiet than the QC2, I might just make the upgrade.

ive worn all different headsets for a long time, from Bose, David Clark and Lightspeed and more. In the end game its all about which one sounds good, and can you wear it all day long. The zulus are as comfortable as the Bose, but they go around the ear which gives it a better seal. I realize some people dont like that though. It does have that nifty plug in function for MP3 players and cancels music when you hear the radio or someone talks in the cockpit...Not that ive ever done that, flying in the midwest with no traffic on the radio for 20 minutes at a time. The zulus are a little on the pricey side, but if you have an old lightspeed headset they credit you up to $500 on the trade in. Like I said, its personal preference.

I had a fed in the jumpseat who didn't say anything about my QC2/ Uflymike
|
To comply with the TSO, just get a pair of the in-ear buds from Target etc., keep them in your pocket and plug them in whenever anyone who needs to see them is there.
|
Just plugged my Uflymike into the QC15. Fits perfect. Didn't have it plugged into the aircraft so I cant vouch for it actually working. Does look like ( and sound ) like better passive reduction.
Anyone want to by a lightly used QC2?! 6 months on it. |
Check PM KingAirPIC
Yes it's a River otter in the Avatar! |
Just traded in my old QC2's for QC15's and they only cost me 150. So be sure to trade in or you'll pay the full price. Mine were the older champagne colored ones, if you have the silver QC 2's the 15's only cost $125.
|
How do you trade them in? Can you do it at the Bose kiosks in the airport?

Please tell us how the QC15 compare to the QC2 when you get a chance please.

Directly from the U Fly Mike web site (news section):
09.03.09 QC-15: Bose just introduced a new QC-series, the QC-15. All versions of the UFlyMike, past and present, are fully compatible with either the QC-2 or the new QC-15. I traded my old worn QC3's in for the QC15's for $100 at the Bose store. I did a lot of comparison between the QC2's and QC3's during my initial purchase and found the sound cancellation to be superior on the QC3's. That being said, I can tell you that the 15's are much better than the 3's in both noise cancellation and tonal range of music. My recommendation goes to the UFM for any headset purchase you may be considering. I can vouch for how well they work on the RJ! |

I am currently using the UFM/QC15 set up for the first time on a trip and absolutely love it. I did lots of internet research and talked to dozens of guys in the cockpit. It seemed almost unanimous that anyone that had used the UFM absolutely loved it. From my experience the UFM works flawlessly with the new QC15's. Which begs the question if Bose is so anti-UFM, why did they keep the same cord adapter on the headphone as the QC2's? There really aren't any accessories for the headphones besides the UFM and proprietary Bose "cellular adaptor" so why not change it? Bose is so anti-UFM as a matter of fact, that there is actually an entire page in the QC15 user manual titled "other considerations" which basically tries to talk you out of the UFM (although they don't mention it by name), and sell you on the X headset. Just doesn't make sense to me. I traded my old worn QC3's in for the QC15's for $100 at the Bose store.

Thanks for the great post, I'm getting mine this month now for sure, by by lightspeed. |
I heard the zulu headsets have bluetooth. But they are 900 dollars!!
|
Just called bose and the CS person said that they are not offering a trade in program at this time due to the QC15 only being 3 weeks old. Looks like its time for a road trip to the bose kiosk. What airport has the bose kiosk?
|
Does anyone or has anyone used them in the louder T-props (ala the Beotch 1900, king air or the burrito bomber)? How well do they work in this extremly noisy environment?
Do the new 15's still fold flat like the 2's did? |
I like the Clarity Aloft Pro. I've done three patterns with this headset, and I find it very comfortable. Plus no headset hair.

DEN has a kiosk.

I actually traded in the QC2's for the 15s and while they are quite a bit quieter, they don't seem to seal as well and I get a lot of feedback on take off and taxi. It was enough of a problem that I could hear the ANR trying to compensate just chewing on something. Never had that with the 2s. I'm going to exchange them for a different pair and try that. If it's the same, then I'll trade em back for the QC2s again. On the plus side, Bose's CS is so far excellent.

I still think overall the 15's have far superior noise-cancellation than the 2's and am quite happy with the setup. |

I traded in my 2s for the 15s and haven't had any problems at all. They seem to seal very nicely (better than the 2s with my sunglasses) and are noticeably quieter. Flying an MD80... Not sure if airplane type has anything to do with your issue... |
It's the Q400 so it's defiantely got more bumps, thumps and vibrations. I will say that the new ones I exchanged the first QC15s for seem to fit and seal better. Hoping that was the ticket.

I'll check if they at the phl store will do a trade-in and let ya'll know.

|
I also noticed on the Uflymike website that they say only the QC2 and not the QC15 is currently part of the TSO's combo. I thought it was just the earbud and boom mike that made that up and not the headset part. Kinda odd.
|
Battery Life?
For those of you using the new 15's how does battery life compare to the QC2? Wondering if it is decreased due to the new external mic inputs.
Thanks |
so from what I read so far it does not sound like its worth it to trade in my QC2's for Qc15's
