I have two sets of "in the ear" headsets. One is the Quiet Technologies, Halo Headset ($379), and the other is the Clarity aloft base model ($525). I like both models and both have their advantages, and disadvantages. I use "EATFL1-6 Triple Flange Sleeves" on both headsets rather than the squishy ear plugs. I find both headsets to be significantly quieter than the ANR headsets I was using, although sometimes I have to fiddle with the ear plugs a bit to get them to seal properly.
The Halo headset is more comfortable and since the actual speakers are located in the behind the head band with tubes going to the ear, everything on them can be easily repaired in the field if you break them. The only draw back was that I couldn't turn the sound up enough to listen to music from my android in flight. The Clarity Aloft Headset has nicer ear pieces making it easier to insert the ear plugs, and the sound is a bit better if you are plugging your cell phone or music directly into the headset. I finally settled on using the Clarity Aloft headset in the KR mostly because I use the FM receiver on my Android to listen to FM music while flying and Clarity Aloft headset will let me play the music loud enough to hear it over the headset. The down side to using these is that often times the ear plug will pop off the stem leaving the ear plug in my ear when I take them off. Since I found both of these headsets to be significantly quieter than my ANR headsets, I don't currently see any need for ANR for the "in the ear" type of headset, although no doubt, quieter is better for the ears. -Jeff Scott Cherokee Village, AR > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2019 at 12:17 PM > From: "Stef den Boer via KRnet" <krnet@list.krnet.org> > To: krnet <krnet@list.krnet.org> > Cc: "Stef den Boer" <stefk...@ziggo.nl> > Subject: KR> In ear headset. > > Hi, > > I hope someone off you is using the new type in ear head set.
