I just started with Westjet and I need a headset....

[avray]

I just started with Westjet and I need a headset, so I was looking for some input about what kind to get, specs that I should look for, best bang for my buck, and the best place to shop for it. Any help would be great.

wow you're always on that like a fat kid on a smartie! way to moderate!

I think she does a great job !!!

a quick search using "headset and westjet" or "737" would've brought the mentioned thread.

But people are lazy.

Ah, the BIG TIMES, now, you can finally afford a headset. I like the David Clark H-1040's, but then, I still wear Ray Ban Aviators...

Anyone know if the Telex 850 with ANR will work on a 737-200?

There are several comments on the Telex 850 on page two of the thread I linked above.

Gosh, Benwa, don't be giving away the top secret tools and techniques I use! Next thing you know, everybody will be using the search function!

(and thanks for the "great job" comment plus I took Red Line's comment as a compliment not a slur )

[Benwa]

I realized Redline's intent after I hit "Submit"... I'm still too lazy to work the "Edit" function. We're just so used to negative comments here...

Didn't see anything on using them in 737-200 series... all the comments are about the NGs.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt this sort of like saying
Will a Radio Shack FM work in my Ford or do I have to get a Mr. Lear model TXV.
Maybe it works better in a Chev or Lada.

What has the type has to do with the radio suite??

[Ali G]

I bought an adaptor for my earbuds and use the handmike, cost $5.

[Highflyinpilot]

They should supply them, Just kidding. I remember doing flight training using the good old david clark that 100000 other students breath, sneazed, slobered on, especially in the winter . i bought my own headset for my second flight



Totally off topic, but im sure some can remember those days.

Sorry about that...doing the quick read before leaving for work, and missed the 200 bit!

[Red Line]

nope, no slur! (hence the smiley face)

-200 = old

NG = new

the 850 is new and seeing that in order to use the batteryless noise canceling feature the aircraft radio package must be suitable. The NG is from what I have read but I have no idea if the old -200 radios are. I won't go out and drop all that cash to test it myself so I'm asking if any -200 drivers have had success with the 850.

Doesn't matter anyway as I found a brand new 750 on Ebay for $130.

I find that surprising that you need to buy your own headset. Maybe im one of the few that never had to buy one, I dont know just seems weird coming from an airline like WJ.

I'm not with WJ and the company I work for supplies the headband and ear bud, which I have been using, but I would rather hear the radio in both ears at a lower volume.

These kick ass, and should be good for the corporate culture of Westjet. The 9 volt battery may die on you and things get noisy, so carry a spare in your rolly-bag.

[Red Line]

haha istp i love it!

[NovaBoy]

I have a Sennheiser noise cancelling headset that fits the jacks on the NG for sale. I used it when I worked with WJ. I paid $650 for it, selling it for $300.00
