The DRE-6000 looks like a great buy for 289.00. The Lightspeeds have somewhat better performance but are butt ugly, they are almost twice the price for their best units. Has anyone found a headset that will do a great job in the Rocket? I think Bose is out of the question due to their extreeeem price.

Ron Carter once wrote a great piece on this subject. I fly with a DRE 6000 and will soon own two Bose headsets. Ron said basically the same thing.. you can try all the headsets you want but it will save you a lot of money if you just buy the Bose up front.

It also has some of the best audio quality for music - much better than the Sennheiser, lightspeeds, and others I have tried. After all ATC only yaks some of time but the music is almost alwqys running! Russ ...... Original Message .......

That's one way to get a decent headset at a reasonable price. )_( Dan RV-7 N714D (710 hours) http://www.rvproject.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Stone" Subject: Rocket-List: Headsets > --> Rocket-List message posted by: "Jim Stone" > > I'm looking for a headset with really good active and passive noise > cancelling.

I tried Denalis and a friends Bose in my Rocket and neither can touch the lightspeeds for comfort or noise reduction especially on long trips. Give up food, sex and booze for 3 months but go with the top end lightspeeds, you will not regret it.

I get to fly a friend's Glasair III at times and it has a set of Bose in it. I would not trade my Peltors even for the Bose. Morris's telephone number is 859-466-6022. Jim Winings #34 - 125 hrs.
