I am looking for a headset.  Since there is lots of experience on here, Is the extra cost of active noise reduction headsets  justified. Usually 2 to 3 hundred $ more.



Thanks,

David d.

My suggestion would be to try several different headsets  to see which one works for you. I had a DRE 6000 that almost every one else  thought improved their ability to hear, I got better noise reduction from a  Sigtronics S45. A friend of mine put  ANR innards into a S45. For me it  does nothing, but he swears by it.

 Larry, just a little bit different!

I started out with a standard headset,   I had to call the company and get a 

new mike designed for high noise environment,  the new mike kept the noise 

level down in the intercom,  at that point I was quite happy,  then tried an 

ANR  headset, it took out a lot of the low end noise,  and made it more 

comfortable to fly.   I also had to call the factory and they told me how to 

adjust the mike gain down, again  so the ambient noise did not overpower the 

intercom.   the noise canceling worked better when I connected it to a 

battery eliminator, instead of the 9 volt battery.    the battery eliminator 

also powers my radio and intercom.

I modified my 30 year old David Clarks by adding, Head Sets Inc. ANR kits to them for about 170.00 per set.They come with battery packs,9V,I got tired of buying batteries and installed their filtered power supply,less than 40.00 as I recall and I think they work very well.

Gary,

  

 I get bad interference with the radio from my  Jabiru. Obviously need a suppressor. Any ideas where I should  start?

Thanks for the replies so far. It seems that ANR is worth the extra bucks.

Most head sets on ebay etc. are the non ANR models.  They want to get rid of them for some reason ???



Anyone have one or two pair of ANR's they want to sell?

The fella I bought my Firestar from told me his best luck was ANR ear buds

worn under normal noise suppression headsets, or was it shooting headsets?

Anyway, that was his chosen path.
