Headset!
I've just purchased a headset! I got a LightSPEED Twenty 3G, the "almost top of the line" LightSPEED set. A comparison of their sets is here.
I chose LightSPEED because they're one of the biggest brands, along with David Clark, but are more focused on the private pilot industry and less on the military. Of course the Bose ones are supposed to be excellent, but at more than twice the cost...it can wait.
I chose the Twenty 3G because it's an effective price point. For $300, you can get a refurbished 20XL from their online store. But I found a store that sold the 20XLc new for about $400, which gets you a cellphone/music jack, a 3 year warranty instead of 1 year, and...well, a brand new headset. And the Twenty 3G was only $50 more than that, and it gets you an EQ and two more years on the warranty, plus a brand new design.
Eexcellent!
I had been wondering whether I could somehow use my molded in-ear monitors that I use for my band, or something like them, instead of a headset. But I gave up.
