I use Lightspeed Thirty 3Gs. If the battery dies they seem to only lose
the noise canceling function. Were they to break completely I would
have the cabin speaker and handheld microphone. So for me, batteries -
yes, another headset - not necessarily. (I try very hard to make sure
that every portable device I carry uses AA batteries and I do keep a
supply of them handy.)

So, I'm stuck using the 'ol reliable $89 David Clark knock-off's I got when

nice not having to deal with a battery box and AA batteries that die at
inconvenient times...


Newbie question, is not carrying backup headsets and batteries a given?
