I know in-ear headsets have been much discussed and I've trawled through a lot of it but not found anything to help with my particular issue.
My aircraft despite being enclosed is quite noisy. I have two headsets one with ANR & VOX and one PNR only. Only fly on my own so not used simultaneously. Noise reduction with the VOX is really good but it's always a bit of a faff setting it and adjusting it. Also I find the headset itself uncomfortable.
Most of my noise is definitely picked up by the microphone hence the VOX works. I have experimented with different socks and other noise barriers on both headsets and trying to reduce what the mic picks up. The more heavily I shield it physically the greater the noise reduction. However it just added to the general clumsiness and dissatisfaction with the set up.
So my question is will I be worse off with an in-ear type headset of which there are a few types around? Or do they have some sort of VOX wizardly stuff going on??
Tempted to try in-ear but don't want to spend on something that isn't a solution.
Thanks in advance!
