Yes another mistake...



I spared nothing to get the quietest headset money can buy. The LightSpeed 

30-3g for $600.

http://www.anrheadsets.com/products30-3g.asp



I have been putting up with them for about 10 hours. Yesterday I called the 

company and discussed the impossible noise level with them. The guy I talked 

to said that ANR headsets in a Kolb environment is not a good choice and 

that the $150 dollar headsets might do better for this application.



Well I had purchased some of those several years ago for a passenger/spare 

set and tried them out, wonderfull. I can hear the tower clearly now. The 

Lightspeed company is taking the expensive ones back and sending me another 

set of the cheap ones and refunding the remainder.

I think you're referring to the Cross-Country's... I have those... and

they are great.  My brother has a real expensive "GA" ANR headset,

too, and he prefers mine, too.

David:



Can't go wrong with the DRE-6000 ANR for 275.00 or 280.00.  I bought a 

set last year and never looked back.  They are wonderful.  I had 

gotten to the point I could not hear and understand on the DC 10-40. 

Thought it was my radio, then thought it was John Williamson's radio. 

Turned out to be a deaf old guy that could not overcome the outside 

noise.

PS:  Bought a set of Lite Speed ANR many years ago.  Went through the 

same problem you experienced.  Some things never change.

I'll let you know how I make out with cheapies new from South Korea for 

about $80 including shipping with five-year warranty, and a nice guy 

handling the sales and shipment.. Should be here next week. Wanted Pilot 

17-79 but even on eBay used they were more then triple what the budget 

allowed. Haven't hardwired the handheld in yet. Other mechanical 

rectifications take priority over talking.

Believe it or not, they were ordered end of week and arrived minutes ago. 

Feather Lite Headset black, $79 with shipping included,  from Graham 

Services Inc Wellston Oklahoma. George was super nice and hopefully they'll 

live up to his service. His phone is 405 258-4165



Feel warm, no case, but they are going into the Kolb right away anyhow. I'll 

let you know if they are okay.

John F:



Don't know if you fly with glasses or not.  If you do, like a lot of 

us senior citizens, it is imperative that there are no air leaks 

around the stems or anywhere else on the ear seals.



When I got my STE-6000 head set, the temper foam seals would not seal 

around my ears and glass stems.  Swapped a pair of the liquid gel 

seals off my old DC 10-40 set, and the deed was done.  Works like a 

champ.

Try a set of RAD headsets and intercom. They work

great in a Titan, and that's a real test!

Hi John,



        Good luck, let us know how they work.  ANR (active noise reduction) 

for $80?  Do they have a web site?



        For anyone with older David Clark-style sets, the ANR add-on from 

headsets.com is excellent at $160.

Don't remember saying anything about ANR for that price. The sets I wanted 

went for $264 and $242 on eBay used. These are what I bought and haven't 

used in Kolb yet. Still a problem with my old push-to-talk Telex. See he has 

a few left

It's all relative to the size of the market.  Not that big.  If a DVD 

player can be

sold for $35 then DNR headsets should be $25 and programable digital

hearing aids should be $15.
