I wish we could use something other than the Telex 750. Or even be able to use the boom mike.
Make me an offer, I'll sell you mine.

Wow, putting me on the spot. Are you in a rush to sell? I ask because I wasn't planning on seriously looking until May and the flying season kicks off so the have the extra cash floating around.
Not really. I'm just ready for something different. Hit me up whenevs

Want a set of FlightCom Denali ANR's?
In all seriousness come May I'll be more serious. Maybe in the $250 range? (Not sure if yours are TSO'd / Bluetooth / etc.)

What?
Mine I believe is what they call the classic. It's a headset. It's even used. I'll throw in 10 or so extra ear buds. Maybe 8 depending on if I change them again before may.Want a set of FlightCom Denali ANR's?

They're amazing. Glad I didn't purchase the Telex 850's.

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
Anybody done a compare with the Dave Clarks vs. clarity aloft pro?

My only concern is I have minimal space in the Lear above my head and the band looks thicker than the 850. I'd need to try them prior to purchase.

The 850s are throw away headsets. Best headset I had when I flew the learjet were called Quiet Technologies Halo. Unfortunately they're not TSO so I started flying the FLUF I switched to Clarity Aloft. They're ok but not as good as the Halo.

Loan me the $, @Brian29.
@ZapBrannigan, I use quiet Technology now, and have used them in the metro and piston twins, I thoroughly enjoy them. However, my problem is I'm wearing them on average 6hrs a day, 14 days in a row. Since my car accident, my left ear is sensitive, so I've been looking at on ear headsets.

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?
I'm just not sure if they're stylish enough for me.

Actually I had the CA Pro's for about a year. Sold the CA's bought the Pro X's and haven't looked back. I didn't really want a clamp style headset but after a year and a half or so I've found them super comfy. In the Lear 45 it seemed like the CA's picked up to much background noise, like the intercom would open the mic and you can hear a low hisssss though the headset. If it had a mic gain of some type it would've been easy to adjust but they don't. The Pro X's don't seem to have that problem at all. They also sound really good if you happen to test them with music. Also the auto mute function can be turned off. So you balance the intercom and music volume with out it cutting out every ten seconds. Once you pair your phone with the headset, simply tap the Bluetooth button to toggle the auto mute on and off. If it doesn't do that then you have an early model headset. I sent mine back to DC and they upgraded it for free. The music or phone conversation can't be broadcast over the radio or intercom. My "cough" friend flew with a new guy for about ten hours before he told the other guy he had been listening to music. The other guy neve heard any bleed through. The longest non-stop I've worn them is about four hours. No headaches or any thing, even with thicker plastic frame Oakley sunglasses.

Can I ask what most of the other pilots use? I assume most use the ship's telex, but what do the majority of the pilots not using the telex use?
I don't remember the bus being so loud that noise canceling was a necessity, although I'm sure any environment over a certain decibel for extended periods of time over a career could be damaging.
Thanks.
