Telex 850 & e145
I've been using the telex 850 for a while now. I love the headset, however I've noticed that compared to other headsets the telex picks up more wind noise when in hot mic than most. This causes me to constantly flip on and off the hot mic. I was told here is something you can put over the mic that will reduce this. I've searched online and can't find anything. Does anyone know of anything like this or how to reduce it?

On a side note, how do you find it with cutting out the noise? I bought a pair used on eBay and it didn't really dampen out any sound. Do you wear earplugs? Maybe I just need to replace the ear seals on it.

It's a fine line between too much wind noise and not being able to pick up your voice.

Spend the coin on a Bose. You can probably get a gently used Bose X for a good price now that the A20's are out.
The EMB cockpit is way too noisy for standard jet headsets, esp if you like to fly fast. I tend to keep the speed on the lower end because it's soo loud.
