Clarity aloft vs. QC15/Uflymike
#11
I own both, and honestly, I'd skip them both for an RJ. The CA is awesome om the Saab and in GA planes, the QC15 is good in everything, but the mic kind of sucks in terms of background noise.
Save your cash and just buy an A20. I've used one and it is superior to both of the headsets that I have.

Not headsets provided at OO either. I have a Telex Airman 850. Works pretty good.

ASA HS-1A. Under $100. Bend the metal frames so they dont clamp your ears. Save your $ for gas and cup-o-noodles.

I'd throw my vote in for the QC-15. The mic twists up in kind of a funny way, but I've never met anybody who had problems with quality or functionality. Also, I think its huge that you can use it deadheading, commuting, or for whatever at home. I've flown with guys who have the clarity aloft headset and they like it, but I don't think it really brings anything that spectacular to the table unless you really hate the feeling of wearing a headset.
I used the Bose X for two years in King Airs and a 1900C, then used it for my first year in the RJ before I got a Telex 850. I can endorse both of those headsets without reservation, however I understand if someone doesn't want to pay $1,000 for a headset or $450 for a lightweight headset. That said, keep in mind you will spend more time using this little device than you do your phone, car, watch, surfboard, motorcycle or any other toy you might buy. The Telex 850 is very durable, lightweight and gives you enough noise canceling for the CRJ without using batteries.
Sort of a matter of personal preference. Good Luck!

The Clarity Aloft is superior. No batteries, ear tips last at least 100 hours (if you don't have nasty ears) Extremely light on your head for those dreadful 7 leg days. Also very nice in all GA and aerobatics (if you're into that sort of thing) I actually have CA for work and QC15 for DH and nonreving. Dont waste your money on the TSO version though.

Just finished my first trip on the 737 with the Clarity Aloft TSO verson... wow, so nice... well worth the money. BUT, if you are going to be a FO, the boom mike is on the left side of the set, so it might be awkward if you are a FO...

Why is boom mic being on the left awkward as an FO?
Thanks

It is extremely light, quiet, & comfortable. So comfortable that was able to wear it for a 5+ hour ATL-LAX leg. I have no feedback issues.
I too thought this might be an issue, but with the provided clips I was able to position the cord. It didn't feel awkward at all. I'm very happy with my investment.
