Need help in deciding in good headset
Buttman,
It costs about a hundred bucks more, but I think it's worth it if it means I don't have to fuss with batteries. Please explain, I am genuinely interested: How can changing batteries every 50 hours of operation be a "fuss" worth 100 $? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Peter,
MHO, it's the main problem with the Lightspeed headsets. IMHO, it's a total non-issue. A matter of taste, maybe, but a deal killer? Come on! -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Karl,
The major problem with the Lightspeeds is they can't be used in the co-pilot position. Major problem? Can't be used? Maybe you can't. Thousands others can. Oh, and in the price range the OP talks about, the mic boom is reversible on the Lightspeeds. You'll still reverse left/right, as with any stereo headset. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Just what aircraft do you fly from the right seat? No pro pilot would buy a Lightspeed. Karl |

Thomas,
My ego has been beaten by some of the best professional pilots in the country, for decades. An amateur, like yourself, can't make a dent. Karl "Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ... Karl, No pro pilot I hurt your ego? Sorry. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

"Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ... Just back it up instead of backing out and we'll see. Easily done. I had a microphone fail on a DC headset that was five years out of warranty. I shipped it off to them with a letter asking for an estimate of the repair cost before they took any action. They didn't respond to the letter, I got the headset back about a week later. They had replaced the microphone as well as the ear pads (which I hadn't mentioned and didn't think needed replacement) and shipped it back to me, no charge. I've heard many similar stories from other pilots about David Clark, I can't recall hearing any about any other headset manufacturer. |
