Headsets ?

Hi Guys..

Okay Im looking into buying a new headset now ive gone commercial.. Was
looking at standard sets but have been advised by many save up a little
more and get an ANR set (thanks guys

Just a question regarding pricing of these sets. I require a set for use
in helicopters but why is it, heli sets are more expensive than the GA ?

The only difference I can tell is the plug setup! That being said,
shouldnt the chopper sets actually be cheaper considering they only have
the one NATO plug??

Are there any other differences ??

Thanks guys,


Jad

Prices are set by the market size, since fewer helicopter
sets are sold, they cost more.

Paper clips are cheap only because they are made and sold by
the billions. Aircraft parts cost a lot because they are
very low volume production and they are tracked closely in
case there are service recalls. Aircraft headsets are low
volume items.

Also, some nations have import duties that raise the price.

I've worn my H10-60's on flights up to five hours, never had a problem with
that.

I've got Dave Clarks and have an adaptor plug ($40) so I can use them
for either fixed or rotor (which I do on a daily basis).
Get the best you can afford. I've still got a Plantronics set with
custom earpieces that I've had at least 30 years now. My gear will
outlast me.

Some people strongly reject anr because you cannot listen to the
aircraft as good as without anr.

helipilots are much richer ;-)

the one NATO plug??

Heliplugs have only 4 contacts therefore only mono sound is possible.
GA-Headsets often support stereo now. If you want to use a stereo in
mono in a copter there might be a little more effort to build an
adapter.

I like my (simple) Avcomm headsets. It came with two cords which have a
little plug that fit into the headset. One coiled for heli and one
straight, two-plugged for GA.

List the features you think you need (comfort, noise reduction,
clarity, reliability, style, company support, etc.), choose the one
that is most important to you, and find the headset that has that
feature. In my case, I needed to hear clearly, so I chose the one with
the most noise reduction and best sound. Comfort was not great after
several hours, and style left something to be desired.

The nice thing about ANR is that if the batteries go out, you still
have about the same noise reduction as standard -- they still work.

Hmmm...

Well im liking the look of the Flightcom Denalli sets.. got the anr and
all the goodies... and a spunky looking yellow too! haha

Anyone used these ?
