stevron Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Is there a good headset that can be hard wired to stop the use of batteries? If there is what's their name ? I am running a microair 760 radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben87r Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Don't know about hard wired but if set up with LEMO plugs no batteries so I'm led to believe, no idea what's involved at all tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Why do you need batteries for a headset? For a radio you need a power supply, such as batteries but the only headsets that require a battery are active noise reduction types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetjr Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Must be ANR Yes headsets Inc make a direct hardwire kit Obviously the plugs etc match their ANR kits and headsets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunder Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 As per jetjr above.. http://www.headsetsinc.com/Accessories.html You'll have to adapt it to your headset...Most headsets seem to be 9V? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyflyer Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The Bose A20 comes in a version that can be powered by the aircraft. However the batteries last that long it is hardly worth the bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevron Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 I have the bose set before the a20 and it is hard on batteries that's why I thought of a powered set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchroll Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm pretty sure the Bose X will do this, but you would need to purchase a new cable assembly for your headset with the 6 pin LEMO plug instead of the dual GA plugs. You just unplug the dual-plug/mic assembly from the earphone, and replace it with the new one. Aircraft Spruce (and other outlets) sell the replacement cable/mic assemblies for Bose.

Guest Howard Hughes Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The Bose A20 comes in a version that can be powered by the aircraft. However the batteries last that long it is hardly worth the bother. I also have a Bose A20 and find myself changing the batteries every couple of months, after about 60 hours of use. You get a good 5-10 hours notice that the batteries are running low when the indicator light turns amber, hardly a big deal! Also with batteries your headset will still work even with a total electrical failure, you don't want to have your headset die just when you are needing peace and quiet to sort out your next action!
