Listers -  

  

 I am considering  replacing my LightSPEED 20XL ANR headsets with one of the in-ear types.   

  

 Are there any  audiologists among us who would care to comment on the relative quality of  protection offered by the traditional cup-style vs. in-ear  headsets?

I'm not an audiologist, but I did stay in a holiday inn expresss...



Just kidding.  I have a pair of the in-ear silicone earplugs, that I had

made to wear while riding my motorcycle.  I tried them out in flight, and

found that the combination of the silicone plugs, and my David Clark

10-13.4 headset, almost matched the comfort and audio level of my

Lightspeed 20XL.  I've also worn the earplugs on an airline flight between

North America and China, and was happy with the performance there as well.



The earplugs were made by Custom Protect Ear (http://www.protectear.com)

and are the "Convertible Vented" model.  They are vented to prevent ear

damage with altitude changes.



All that being said, I think my next headset purchase will be a pair of

Bose Quiet Comfort headphones, plus the aviation mod kit

(http://www.uflymike.com/) to add a boom microphone.  The Quiet Comfort

headset is reportedly as good as the X headset in noise cancellation, at

1/3 the price point.  I wish I knew someone with this setup so I could give

it a try first, though.

I just bought the QC-II with the idea of using the add on mic.  Flying

yesterday on Delta, they were fine, but I wonder about how they would

perform in a more challenging environment.  Certainly comfortable.  Anyone

using them with the add on mic that can give us a pirep?
