Any experience with heli-to-airplane headset adapters?

[VFlyer]

I've been doing a little more fixed wing flying for fun, and wanted to get one of the heli-to-airplane adapters just so I can have one more extra headset for family and friends.

 

I've seen quite a few (mainly airplane-to-heli) adapters on ebay and other flying sites with prices ranging from $30-$100+. As usual I'd like to save the money, but since my helicopter headset is nicer than my old fixed wing one, I don't want to cheap out too much and suffer scratchiness and loose connections!

I've used the sets from Spruce, they worked fine.

I bought a Pilot USA one. It was the cheapest I could find with google and it's worked fine for me. Solid connection and no decrease in quality. I don't use it a whole lot though so I can't say how well it holds up.

I have an airplane headset with single pin helicopter adapter. I got a $30 one probably 10yrs ago and still have the same one. Need had any issues with it

The one from Sporty's works great. I use it for a youth David Clark headset that only comes with fixed wing plugs. Works perfect. Obviously you won't get stereo but then again no helicopter U174 plug headset can do stereo.

Yeah, Sporty's adapters work pretty good for a few bucks. I would buy from them over Ebay anytime, as its easier to get it replaced if it doesn't work.

 

Also look at MyPilotShop.com I use them for my sunglasses, they don't charge as much fir shipping, and the lady that owns it is super awesome to deal with.
