Off the normal Aircraft Maintenance questions but still a pilot question. I
have a flight helmet that I would like to convert to ANR (active noise
reduction). Looking over the internet and there are several people selling
kits and prices from $200-350. Has anyone done the upgrade? Are you pleased
with the quality? Who,s kit and who did the upgrade? I currently use a
Clarity Aloft Headset weighing 2 oz and it is outstanding! Thinking of
wearing a helmet on certain occasions. (Yes, I know, which occasions and
why not all the time??) Don't want to open that can of worms so would only
like info on the ANR question. Thanks

Greg,
I converted both of my Sigtronics headsets to ANR via the kit and found
that while they are not "Bose" the clarity and sound quality is actually
VERY good, I'd do it again. ANR is wonderful, especially for us geezers.
I say old chap is that Wembly?
Wednesday? No I think it's Thursday!
Thirsty? Why YES I am, let's stop for a pint!

Hi there,
First thing first, the helmet is there to protect your nugget in the event that
you need to leave the airplane in a hurry, so you need a quick disconnect that
will break free even if you forget to unplug your headset, so that is the first
thing you need.
I was exploring having an ANR in my HGU-55 helmet, and I was lucky to get an ANR
headset from ebay for 80$ I never got around installing it, because at the end
you can't compete with a CEP kit. It seats in your ear canal and the foam seals
out most of the engine roar.
Eventually I will have CEP/ANR headset and will let you know how that works.

Check these out instead. I've used them for years. You can also get custom ear
tips made if required. You just need to be handy with a soldering iron.

I stated wearing a helmet to help canvel the noise and make up for the poor radios
I once had installed. during that time, I have worked with a company called
Westone in Colorado. They produce hearing protection and communications for
the military and Police as well as commercial use. I was able to help them develop
a set of ear plugs with integrated speakers that utilize the helmets communication
that work well with civil radios.. Many people know other forms of
this hearing protection as CEPs. The main difference between CEPs and Westones
is that Westones use a molded ear plug (molded to your ear) and the CEPs use
the standard soft foam ear plugs. Since the Westones are molded, they are A LOT
more comfortable then the CEPs. I use to have to turn the volume of my radios
to 100% while in the pattern, now I can turn to 10% and hear everything crystal
clear. Now I can play music and still maintain communications. In my opinion,
if your going to wear a
helmet and want some great ANR results.. Westones are the way to go.

Gents,
I totally agree with Larry.
Have used the Westone molded ear plugs / integrated speakers with a military helmet
for several years and they are amazing. Later, had our local hemet guy add
an ANR system. Compared to everything else Ive used, its a genuine pleasure
to listen on the radio with the very comfortable Westones, even with the M-14P
running at high RPM.

I put the molded ear plugs on the CEP system and they work great. I have
both ANR and CEP and when I had the side exhaust (since removed) on the CJ I
could still turn the radios down and hear just fine. I recommend both
highly!!!!
