Bose Headsets
Spelling is deteriorating, too :~) I guess I was so excited about the headset that I didn't double check my work..... My bad!! :-) Matt Barrow wrote: "Jon Kraus" wrote in message .. . I just broke down and ordered a Bose Aviation Headset X. I have been wanting one for several years but 1 AMU is a lot of cash for a headset... Then I remembered how deaf I am becomming adnd thought that Spelling is deteriorating, too :~) this would be the best protection for my non-renewable hearing. I already have a set of David Clarks H20 10XL's and they work great so if the Bose work better than I'll be tickled pink. How many of you good folks fly with the Bose or have used them and give me a PIREP. Thanks!! I've had mine for four years and can sum it up this way: Expensive. Worth it. The clearest audio you'll find and perhaps the only headset that doesn't make it feel that your head is in a vice. |

I've had mine for four years and can sum it up this way: Expensive. Worth it. The clearest audio you'll find and perhaps the only headset that doesn't make it feel that your head is in a vice. I couldn't agree more. The only derog is the new power control module. I needed new ear cusions and decided to update my headset with the new electronics. The new setup is smaller has auto-shutoff which was missing on the original. It has split volume control knobs which do not have any sort of drag to keep them from accidentally turning. I find that as the power module gets bumped about the volume knobs start moving around. It may seem like a small thing, but is quite anoying. For the price they ask, they could have done a better job. Regards, Jerry |

Jon,
Garmin 340 intercom about 4 years old. I don't think the intercom is the issue because I have no problems hearing his other headset... Nope, a 340 shouldn't cause those kinds of problems. Maybe something wrong with the headset... -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Best investment I've made in aviation! Light, comfortable and work
great. An alternative might be: http://www.uflymike.com/ I've heard some good things about them.... 1/2 the cost. -dr Jon Kraus wrote: I just broke down and ordered a Bose Aviation Headset X.

I have two pair now and get nervous every time I park my aircraft outside the protection of a locked T-hangar. But seriously, as a one-time owner of two Lightspeed headsets with about 450 hours between them and about 500 hours on my Bose, I can attest to the quality, comfort, ANR performance, mic performance, and quality (did I type that already?) of the Bose over the Lightspeed. You will not be disappointed. -- Peter |

My co-owner made the mistake of trying mine vs. his Litespeed, now we have matching headsets. My friend insisted I borrow his for my trip to OSH one year. I came back with my own pair. |

I've had mine for a year now and have really loved them so far.
My wife and I just flew out to Austin and back and she was finding her Telex set unconfortable (like ouch! after 5 hours of flying. That's a lot more than she's used to and she now understands why I spent the $$$ for the Bose. I do some flight instruction as well as fly forestry patrol and believe me, no matter how much you love your headset, it will start hurting after 4 hours or so while the Bose is still comfortable. |

Jon,
My main complaint with the Bose is the price. Everytime I see the ad I feel like I need to put on a chastity belt to protect my bung hole. I've compared them to my Lightspeed 30-3G's and they are the same in noise reduction, but the Bose are far superior in comfort and size. My second complaint is that, for the money, you would think they would have music and cell phone input. If you want that you have to go with a third party plug for 90 to 100 bucks (assuming you don't own the PS Engineering PMA 8000B also on my wish list). I've just been waiting for that one feature to be added and that will be the excuse I need to pardon Bose for financial sodomy. Kobra "Jon Kraus" wrote in message .. .
