jsmith13 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Has anyone on here used the Oregon Aero headset upgrade and if so did you do the whole upgrade or just the hush kit, etc?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomer Pylot Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I did the hush kit (years ago) and hated it. I think it's still up on a shelf in a closet somewhere......... It didn't hush, in fact it was louder than before I installed it, and it didn't stay in place on the dome, so it was uncomfortable. Perhaps things have changed since, but I would never buy it again.

Gomer Pylot Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I don't remember exactly, probably more than 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgrimm Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I use the upgrade kit that they offer for the DC 10-13.4. The only parts I dont use are the ear seal covers, seems to provide a better seal on the ears with out them. The headset is really comfortable and cuts down on noise considerably from the stock setup. Oregon Aero advertises that you will have to turn the radio down and I can tell you from experience its true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delorean Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I used to have a set of the ear cups and the lambs wool pad for my Telex. I now have the ear cups and liner in my Gallet helmet. Both are comfortable, but not any better than the gel ear seals. The worst part of about them is that the ear cups turn ROCK solid when they get cold. I can barely get my helmet on when it gets cold soaked--and it takes less than a few minutes outside to do this. So, in the cold months, I take my helmet inside the hospital with me and put it on before before I go out to the helicopter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
