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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.
