Many people also use the QC2 in it. I always used my Lightspeeds in the cockpit because of the extra attenution provided by the ear seals, but found the QC2s to be very useful when riding in the back. My point was simply that one could use the QC2 and not worry about loss of audio as long as you monitor the red light, and don't use rechargeable batteries.

Everything works as advertised. I have a MD200 as well and it is the least used thing in my panel for the VFR flying I do. So I think the answer to your question might be sure, why not. But it really depends on your mission profile and personal preference. - Larry Bowen, RV-8 280 Hrs & RV-7 in progress...
