I recently got a really good deal on a couple of ANR headsets. I switched from my trusty old David-Clarks when I moved to light jets, and didn't need as much noise protection.

I picked up a couple of Sennheiser (high quality German made) ANR headsets, refurbished with a two-year warranty. I've chosen the pair that I want and the other is going to be sold. I thought I'd offer them on a couple of aviation websites (JC being the best!) before I put 'em up on for sale on eBay.

Here is the headset that I want to sell: HMEC-25KA

This headset would make an ideal pair for the turbo-prop or jet pilot that wants a nice light-weight set with Active Noise Reduction. Compare the weight (5.9 ounces) to a pair of David-Clark 13X (16.5 ounces) or a Bose X (12 ounce) and you'll see it is a very light and comfortable headset. It uses a full earcup for better passive noise reduction when compared to a typical Telex style open ear cup headset. The Sennheiser is rated at 16dB passive with an additional 15dB active noise reduction. This set might even work well in a piston aircraft, at least one that is relatively quiet, although I have not tried it. (It is almost too quiet for my tastes in the Citation, and I ended up choosing the open ear-cup HMEC-45KA to keep for myself.)

This unit is a factory refurbished headset, originally used for demos, and carries a 2 year factory warranty (starting at my invoice date of 4/4/06).

Retail list price for this headset is $769.00 You can find the exact same headset as I am selling (factory refurbished) on eBay. The very best price I can find right now on-line for a refurb is right about $390.00.

I'll let this one go to the first person that offers $345.00 (price will be $10 higher on the other websites :) )

That's a very good headset - I really wish I could afford it right now! I own two pairs of high-end Sennheiser headphones (for home audio use). Sennheiser is well known in the audiophile arena as among the best headphone company ever.

Oh so it's not good enough for you, but it's good enough for us? ;)
Too good for you. So I'll happily charge more if you want to buy it. :)

How is it for piston aircraft, like a 172 or Warrior?

I haven't used it in a piston yet, but it's WAY better than my DC's. I had on my old DC's, then switched to the Senn's and it was like someone put me in a soundproof room. I would reccomend them for a piston. I don't know if they'll take a beating like the DC's, so I take very good care of mine. If you do the same you'll be happy with them.
