The best thing since sliced bread

Nice. I have the Zulu 1's. I really want to do an actual side by side with the 1's vs the pfx and see how much if any difference there is.

Does the PFX have an aux port? Reason I ask is because audio quality is usually crap over bluetooth just because the nature of bluetooth. The audio quality in my zulu 1 over the aux port is freaking amazing.


Yes, they'll do radio in mono and bluetooth/aux in stereo at the same time.

The bluetooth is long and it's strong and it's bound to get the friction on.

And bassy. Brother's gotta have some bass, but you know that. Err "dat".

Zulu PFX. I walked into Aircraft Spruce and told him to give me the headset with the absolute maximum noise cancellation. Almost had a coronary when he rung up the price. :) But damned if they aren't good. Almost every bit of the low frequency noise just vanishes. Makes the Bose look like a toy.

I am very strongly considering trading up my Zulu 1s for the PFX. The Zulu 1s are extremely comfortable. But time to upgrade. The SAAB isnt exactly quiet.
 
That will happen. We didn't have the stage lengths you do unless we were repo'ing across half the country. Most of our flights were sub 1 hour. I would pull the condition levers all the way back and hover between 55-60% torque in normal flying conditions. Made for a quite(r) ride and most of the time ended up being less than 5 min behind the guy going full bore.

Good to know! I may try that next time I get some shorter stage length flight. Anything over 3 hours and I am ready to get out of the seat.

The Saab up to FL250? That must have taken forever. :eek:

Yes, @amorris311 loved saving fuel. While some always stuck to the charts, I subscribed to the "just keep it in the green" mentality. Of course, @amorris311 never got close to anything red.

Sometimes we come back from Dutch Harbor empty, so we shoot right up. Of course this is also winter which helps.Other times its a step climb. Spending three hours in icing and turbulence just sucks, so its nice to get above it.
 
@Derg , does your company supply headsets in the plane? Ours are pretty good. Sanheiser something ANR on our 190's. I just clean them with a alcohol wipe and carry my own boom mic cover.

The buses have Telex 750's.
 
I'm very interested in a Clarity Aloft for my survey work. My old Flightcom Denali's are a bit long in the tooth, though still perfectly functional and ANR. Craning your head around looking for my next field to photograph after 7 hours in the air over Bloomington, IL gets old with the heavy Flightcoms. No batteries needed for the Clarity Aloft's is a plus as well.

The David Clark DC Pro X ENC headsets.

Sweet nectar of the gods.

Yes, they're spendy, you find find them at a slight discount at the DTW Stopover store and have you priced-out hearing aids and audiologists? :)

@Derg how is it on long flights? Does it feel like a clamp on your head like the Bose X headset used to?

I mostly do 5.5 - 6.5 hr transcons and am wondering if at the end of it you just want to take it off / hurt yourself.

Currently I use the Telex 850 ANR and am considering this one. Did you use the Telex 850? How does this new one compare?

Thanks!

Nope, it's like it's not even there. Very comfortable. I never tried the Bose X so I can't compare. I certainly suggest dropping in the pilot shop and trying a set on.

We'll generally go "topless" above FL180 and shut off the intercom but I've flown with them and without them in cruise because they're tuned to enable a voice to get through. Hell, the voice is clearer with the ENC on as opposed to standard "naked ear" communications.

I've used the 850 and they were nice, but they're practically a toy compared to the DC's.

I miss my props, but I do like being able to hear at the end of the day now too.
