"ANR Headsets that work in the Extra?"
Posted by jhayes_tucson on 10-09-07 at 03:56z
The Extra is LOUD and I'm going deaf using old David Clarks with the radio volume max'ed out (not to mention all the radio calls I miss.) It seems like ANR is a must. I've tried a Lightspeed 25XL and it is driven out of phase by the sound level so it DOUBLES the noise. Bose-X headsets work pretty well (particularly at idle) but they still have some trouble at certain power settings. The other problem is that they are hard to get into a cloth helmet and they are expensive. The Bose is my best solution yet but I haven't given up on finding something better. I haven't tried a helmet mounted set yet and I wouldn't even know what to try. I'd be grateful for some good headset advice. What works in the Extra? Thanks!
