Why doesn't Bose have MP3/cellphone hookup in their headsets?

Ron,

Maybe they expect you to use them to fly with and not play games.


Maybe they're too arrogant to give choice to the consumer.

It is odd indeed. One reason I went with the LightSpeed.
Unfortunately, the cable for the LightSpeed will not fit in my iPhone,
so I will have to find some sort of adapter.

So you got an iPhone CJ. I have to ask. Did your first bill come in a box?

Listening to music actually improves my concentration while flying.

Oh, and as a relatively new IFR pilot you should see some utility in the
ability to plug your phone into the headset for those days you need to call
FSS to pick up your IFR clearance out of that uncontrolled airport.

They do give customers a choice - their product or someone else's

BillJ,

Because it is for talking and listening to controllers?


Headsets with music input can be used for that without problems.
Whatever happened to the idea that the customer gets to decide what he
wants to do?

either buy the headset or not. If it does not suit your needs then choose
something else - whets the problem? If you bought the wrong thing more fool
you. It is not difficult to find out what the headset does or does not. The
Bose site has all the info as well as the operating manual for the headset.

a timewasting non issue by someone too stupid to check out what they were
buying.

first rule in life - don't assume.

Also, Bose aims their products at the "pros" who are usually engaged in CRM
during flight, not entertainment.

Also, Bose being more expensive, it's more typically used by people what
have MP3 and cell phone capable audio panels. If they added capability to
attach toys, first they would have redundancy that was wasted on their
target market. Secondly, there would be that many more people whining that
Bose was even MORE expensive.

I bought a pair of the Bose X and just assumed that would be there...
what a disappointment.

I use one of these when I want to use the phone, which isn't often. My
wife usually uses it to hear her Ipod, as she's a nervous flier:

With more possible failure points.

Yeah, because straight and level flight is so demanding.
