Shopping for Aviation Headsets

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

An aviation headset is commonly one of the first pierces of aviation gear that most students buy. You might have the ability to rent or even borrow one from your flight school but you will likely discover that their equipment is worn and may not be available all the time. Either way you will need to purchase your own aviation headset eventually.

When this time comes you will quickly find that selecting the right headset can be extremely confusing. This is a mater of personal taste, so it is wise to check out different types before choosing one. There are a few factors that you need to look at, such as if you want an active noise reduction (ANR) headset or a more standard passive noise reduction model. ANR is a new technology that is highly effective at lowering frequency noise such as the engine and the propeller in small aircraft.

If you are going to flight school then you should consider purchasing wither a Telex headset or a Peltor headset that will protect your hearing and allow you to communicate efficiently. Telex headsets come in a large variety and is a well known name is aviation headsets. There are of course those pilots that will swear that nothing compared to a Bose headset, but Telex offers them much cheaper, and work just as well.

Another well known name is aviation headsets are Peltor headsets which also comes in a large variety of styles. All Peltor headsets are comfortable and reduce noise. There are more sophisticated Peltor headsets that include music and cell phone capabilities which are very useful and incredibly convenient. Peltor is one company that sets the standard for aviation headsets.

Dude, You’re Getting a Zune

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

This morning I ran into some interesting stuff at Zune Scene. Apparently Microsoft has prepared an iPod killer just in time for the holidays. One of the things that got my attention was the large variety of zune accessories available at launch, and the cool looking zune case options. Zunescene has also posted 2 interesting graphs. One shows the percentage of iPod owners who indicated they will buy a zune, the other shows year over year iPod sales in a slump.


iPod Owners Who Say They Will Buy Zune

Currently Apple dominates the MP3 player market, but after the apparant success of the XBOX i’m starting to think the Zune MP3 player may have a chance.
