 @mkj@social.mkj.earth @mattsqu@chitter.xyz @uint8_t@chaos.social @TimWardCam@c.im @Unixbigot@aus.social I hear bose headphones were quite popular for pilots, even being able to buy adapter kits for the QC15 for a LONG time.  @mkj @mattsqu @TimWardCam @Unixbigot with active noise cancellation you can use a band stop filter so you only filter out the fundamentals and anything unusual will come through  @mkj @mattsqu @uint8_t @Unixbigot Yes, a crap headset can be quite uncomfortable. I've found DCs comfortable enough for a couple of hours, and I could never afford to fly for longer than that in one go, so longer term comfort was not a problem! @mattsqu @uint8_t @Unixbigot Sure. I've always found a decent audio panel and DCs perfectly acceptable. |
@mattsqu Also that in almost any aircraft where you want noise reduction, you're going to have *some* kind of noise reduction in *any* case; because *not* having that likely will cause hearing loss in short order. The real question is active or passive.
Where "passive" noise reduction generally means: "we press these things real tight against your skull around your ears to block as much ambient noise as possible".
What's this "comfort" thing of which you speak?
