Didn't when I was there. They provided those Plantronics ear plug worthless crap thingies that sucked. Everyone provided their own Telex 750s.

I've never liked using a company headset anywhere I've flown. Nothing like spending 7 hours sitting 1/64 of an inch from someone else's used crewmeal. There aren't enough Sanicoms in the world to remove that grunge.

been using lightspeed ANR for the last 6 yrs in the dash. right now I have the Zulu series and they are the best I have ever had.

Maybe they are plantations, I don't know I never had to use them.. I use Telex 850s myself seem to work fine.

Point is, they do provide headsets.

I have been using the Uflymike in the Dash for 5 years. It works great. You can now get the Uflymike with a battery dead backup earpiece. This keeps you TSO legal. Also, get the QC 15's. They are twice as good as the QC-2's. They have double the ANR(a mike inside and outside the cup).

You can carry a pair of ipod earphones. There is a jack on the uflymike that makes it tso approved. I've used the qc2/uflymike on the q400 for three years now and it works great. A lot of guys use them on the q and like them.

Thanks everyone for the great input! Question to the uflymike guys... Some GA guy did a youtube review saying it popped out of the headphones once while flying. Can someone explain the mating process of the uflymike to the headphones? Is it just a simple stereo jack plug, or does it lock in somehow? Does the uflymike with QC2 or QC15 have "ANY" major disadvantages? It must be pretty durable if everyone likes it so much, right? Thanks so much.

I haven't had a problem with mine in the last 4 years. The jack just plugs into the QC's, there's a rubber ring around the uflymike and I assume that it just gets held in somehow that way. Every time I plug mine in, it fits pretty snug. Plus when you are deadheading, the QC2/15 is a killer set of headphones.

The QC's come with a hardshell case and the uflymike wraps up neatly inside with the headphones so you can throw the thing in your flight bag and not worry about them getting damaged.

Telex 750s with foam ear plugs your cheapest and best bet. Comfortable, no batteries. Good hearing. Flying the Dash for 16 years and perfect hearing.

To answer you in the shortest way possible, yes, ANR is worth it in the DH8.

I've used a few different headsets and currently have a Bose, and would never want to go back to a non-ANR product in this aircraft.

MS260

thats what i used in the Dash worked pretty well.
