Guest Ginger Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 No one has ever said anything but shouldn't there be replacable covers for the microphone. I still use the FS headsets and just about need to eat the mike. I suppose every other student does also. Doesn't seem too good to me. Besides buying my own personal headset what are we supposed to do? Ginger thumb_down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelorus32 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Headsets should be treated like diving masks - you spit in each earcup and wipe it around before you wear the headset. This is in order to get a good seal on the earcups. As far as I can determine the only downside of this is that after a while the headset smells a little. Short answer - if you are going to fly for a while then buy yourself a good headset. It's not only the hygiene issues - it's also about protecting your hearing. For a short story about hearing protection have a look at the reviews section and read the review on the David Clark H10.56 HXL headset.

Ben Longden Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You can buy replacement windsocks for the mics and use those along with removable cloth ear pad covers from most pilot shops... the Dave Clark ones are the go, and they are really cheap, and will fit most brands of headset - including the ones Ian has in the shop. The advantage of the ear covers is really noticable in summer - your ears wont fill up with sweat... and in winter they take the cold edge off the ear pads.. Not only that, but the mic sock and the ear covers are washable. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
