tbone – a gem from Denmark

Whilst they have improved slowly over time (like the comfort of the seats be place our butt against for hours on end) the ubiquitous headset’s pace of development just hasn’t matched other areas where operator benefits are felt.
…Another cable with identical plug runs from the amp to the aircraft connect point, the usual two plug standard plugs (or other types specified for your aircraft installation at buy). tbone are very much in touch with customer requirements when it comes to the various aircraft connection options. Every cockpit situation is subtly different of course, for standard Boeing installations I felt that the cable from headset to amplifier were a little on the long side, small point, better too long than too short. … Slipping the earpieces into your ears for the first time seems strange, after wearing the headset for a coupe of long sectors I found I didn’t notice them any more though after shutdown it was bliss to stick my fingers in my ears and have a wiggle to wake up the membranes again. … It takes a little longer to ensure that your colleague doesn’t have his ears filled with your cranial transmissions from the active mic should you leave the intercom selected on. … As is made clear in the literature surrounding your tbone, making PAs on the cabin address system is best done through the handset provided, again – both PA and intercom conversations, despite being perfectly legible, come across the system as slightly muffled due to the nature of the microphone being utilised.
