Fellow Kolbers -



I just tried a new pair of ANR headsets on a flight this morning in my

Mark-III, and I'm happy to report THEY WORK GREAT!  All the

low-frequency thrumming (which is so fatiguing after more than a half

hour of flying) is gone.  What a pleasurable difference.  



I was originally planning to buy the DRE-6000 (following the many

positive reports from this List), but when I discovered that they are no

longer in production, I went looking for other options in the $300 price

range.



What I bought was a LiteSPEED QFR XCc ANR headset, rated at 14 dB

active, and 26 dB passive noise cancellation.  Very light and

comfortable.  Comes with audio interfaces for music or cell phone.  $260

at the local pilot shop here in Albuquerque.

I have no idea how well these items  compare to the headset that

 by Dennis Kirby mentioned, but, the  price is certainly right, & so

 is the price.    For a "Buy It Now" price of $155.00 on  eBay.

    

 Also states that it has a 28.7  Noise Reduction Rate, weighs only

 12 ounces & has a 3 year  warranty.

 Lightspeed Aviation Passive Headset  QFR Solo/ C Item Number:   170072972527

  

 P.S.:  (20  listed available)

 George:



Those are not the same model as the XC that Dennis purchased.



The ebay models listed are passive and not active.



I did a search for them earlier and thought I have discovered a 

bonanza.  hehehe  After I read into it discovered I had not found 

anything.

 George,

 

 I tried these for my FireFly and they are a good passive headset, not ANR, but if you wear glasses or sunglasses as I do when flying, you won't get a good seal because of the stems.  You need gel seals for glasses.  Fortunately, Spinners Pilot Shop let me trade them for Flightcom.
