Anybody know of a gadget for the com radio to allow use of a 

bluetooth ear piece?

Sure, an intercom and headset is an option, but I like the idea on 

just an earpiece.

Thanks, Paul

Paul,



Quick answer - I have not.



I agree, that would be very nice. Unfortunately store brand earpieces

will never filter out the noise in a typical cockpit. Additionally and

good bit of turbulence would send an earpiece flying. My father always

looses his hearing aid when we hit the bumps.



What we need is the blue tooth headset. Don't worry, Bose or somebody

like them is probably working on it. Unfortunately a Bose will also need

a Garmim/PMI to comply. I'm also quite sure both of them are working on

a blue tooth audio panel. How much you wanna bet one of these turns up

at Oshkosh next year?



If I could have the functionality of my BMW panel in my airplane (at 1/3

the price of the old stuff I'm using in the airplane) I'd be ecstatic.

I seriously doubt it, and I've not heard of any products that are 
	


specifically built for aviation...HOWEVER,



A quick search turned up the Logitech headset.  Nothing special about 

it, just the first thing to turn up in a Google search.  It is composed 

of a set of headphones and a small box that plugs into the sound 

source.  It will possibly work out of the box, connected straight to the 

radio.  It might require an impedance matching circuit.  Either way, it 

would be a one day , $100 experiment.



Give it a try, and be a pioneer.

 I thought a major company would have announced by now, but I dont think it has happened.

I think Paul's question referred to a Bluetooth transceiver for the radio.

There are such gadgets (to bluetooth one's iPod e.g.), but they are bulkier

than an earpiece.

As for Bluetooth headsets - Lightspeed already makes one - Zulu.

See

http://www.anrheadsets.com/

Aircraftspruce caries them, King Schools does too.

Haven't tried them yet though.

As long as an accessory is removable and not an integral part (headsets,

handhelds etc.) I am not sure a PMA is needed.

BTW, Bose's current X does not have a phone/music input and that eliminates

it from my list of choices. (Admittedly it is the most comfortable headsets

I have tried, but my personal preference is for more functionality.)

I thought such a device that grabbed the ear might have merit. My 

daughter wears hers all the time and it does not fall off. But you 

are correct that a plane is a different story. I just want to hear 

the radio without a head set. There is also the kind that have a band 

behind the head and two ear buds with a boom mike.
