iPod & Headset?

I've found this at mypilotstore.com:

It's a simple Y-Cable. Anybody got any experience with it? Looks like
this would be exactly what I was looking for, and for less than $40...

Cheers,
Jens

The easiest thing to do is put on your Ipod earbuds and then put your
headset on over the earbuds. The headset blocks out the ambient noise and
the earbuds provide the tunes. Cost, zero.

That's what I'm doing right now, and it works quite well. I'm using the
Koss in-ear and the sound is very good. But I want to get rid of the
extra set of cables dangling around.

Cheers,
Jens

John,

ok. It is an impedance mismatch. Here's what Dave Katz posted two years
ago. I did this using a photo film box, and it works real well.

Thanks for the info. This is quite timely as my buddy and I were
wiring up the instrument panel for the RV-10 this weekend and the
question of a music input to the intercom came up. We'll have to
give this a try.

If you have a music input for the intercom, it usually is the same impedance as the
"line-out" jack of a Walkman-style player.

If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have
been looking for it.

Jens,
Check out Jim Wier's website. rst-engr.com He has a 2 or 4 place
intercom kit for $96 and $121.

PS: I've checked out those cellphone adapters, but they are just too
expensive...

Yep. Except most Walkman-style players don't have a line-out. Also, a
line-out is not really what you want, since it doesn't allow you to
change volume. What you want to use is the headset-out.

Jens,

Best Headset
ever, and I've tried a lot


Well, be that as it may, but they just seem to be lacking a music
input, don't they? Which the Lightspeeds happen to have, for way less
money, don't they?

gd&r

I've got an older Lightspeed without the music input, but still a very
nice headset. My own taste - which is not something I'd force on
others - is not to have music. However, my wife likes the music, we
bought her an ANR headset from AvShop that's got a music input. It's
a good headset, a little cheaper than the Lightspeed one. Works fine,
although I prefer the Lightspeed ANR control box.

Sure, a Bose would be really nice to have. But, a Lightspeed is about
1/2 to up to 1/4 the $990 Bose cost right? And works well too.
Sounds like a worthwhile trade off to me, $500 is about 5.5 hours of
flying time after all.

Buy what you want, but don't be afraid of buying a Lightspeed or an
AvShop ANR headset. I do strongly prefer an ANR headset though.

Malcolm,

AFAIK, they are actually LightSPEED QFR CrossCountries, but branded for
AvShop. Those now also have cellphone capability - at least from
LightSpeed
