I am in the decision making process for a new headset. I'm fairly well settled on either the Zulu Sierra or Bose UflyMike setup unless someone has a great suggestion otherwise. I'm mainly looking for some input on these two from people that have used them. A couple points:
-To be straight up about it, I'm really cheap but I do want to save my hearing. I have a Telex 850 which I love, but I will be flying an ATR which has a list of a few headsets that are incompatible with the avionics and the telex happens to be on that list.
-I'll be commuting on a 5 hour flight to fly so that's what got me interested in the Bose headset so I can use it on the commute.
-My interest in the zulu is that every single person I talk to that has it loves it, and it seems like a good headset.
-I'm concerned about battery life on either, as well as normal wear on the ear pads. I don't want to have to replace batteries every 3 hours or spend a bunch of money because the ear pads wear out in a few months.
Any input that anyone here can provide would be greatly appreciated!
