Bose X with audio input..
Does anyone know if Bose has a headset in the works with audio input?
It would seem like the next logical step. I'm not sure if the David Clark X11 is as comfortable as the Bose, and I'm trying to choose between the two. --Dan |

Bose X with audio input..
Same dilema here Dan...
Like to stay with DC, for all the right reasons... So far , tipping in favor of the DC... I have been told the Bose are awful if the ANR fails (batteries run out) Sure would like to hear from someone who has tried both,, Yhe XII's look very good.. Not sure if the Bose are worth the extra 3-400 $$$.. and no cell input... Dave On 5 Nov 2006 19:55:59 -0800, "Dan" wrote: Does anyone know if Bose has a headset in the works with audio input?

Did you know you get a 10 hour or so LED warning that it's time for new batteries? Did you also know that the batteries are a simple pair of AA cells, easily carried, or purchased in any quickie-mart? If the headset didn't shut itself off (I think the DC does, as well), I think battery issues would be a bigger deal. I'd rather enjoy superior comfort EVERY flight, than worry about something that has a very low chance of catching me by surprise, and is easily rectified at that. My co-owner has an off-brand set that uses 9V batteries, with no auto-shutoff. He pretty much replaces the battery every other flight. Heck, I have three AA powered flashlights in the plane if I lose my spare batteries. On the other hand, my 2-4 spare AA's work in all my devices. G |

Did you also know that the batteries are a simple pair of AA cells, easily carried, or purchased in any quickie-mart? or expensively at any FBO :-) If the headset didn't shut itself off (I think the DC does, as well), I think battery issues would be a bigger deal. AMEN My co-owner has an off-brand set that uses 9V batteries, with no auto-shutoff. He pretty much replaces the battery every other flight. been there, done that. My beautifully designed and built Peltors would run out of battery juice frequently, miserably and without warning. I tried to keep enough 9Vs in my bag. They make great ear muffs while riveting my RV. and I just plain feel better after a long flight. The Bose are too expensive but arguably worth it. I'm glad I got 'em. MauleDriver |
