Letters: September 2016

This year at AirVenture, Quiet Technologies caught my attention, so I got a demo of its $359 Halo in-ear model and bought one. Initially, the headset offered a good fit and promised to be quiet. When I started the engine, I immediately noticed low-frequency noise that isn't present in my Lightspeed. I reserved judgement until two hours in cruise flight at 11,000 feet.

In-Ear Headsets

I read with interest the Faro Air in-ear headset review in the August 2016 issue of Aviation Consumer. I thought I would share an experience with your readers.

I invested in a Clarity Aloft in-ear model a few years ago, but I returned the set after using it for 10 hours of flight time. My issue was ear discomfort, plus it offered fair noise reduction in the cabin of my Cirrus. I went back to my LightSpeed Zulu.
