Not a bad choice
by KOFI S M from Rosedale NY USA
Pros: lightweight, simple to use
Cons: cable rather short, cable clip can fall off
Review: It's a lovely bit of Kit. Lightweight and simple to use, it takes up very little space in your flight pack too so that makes it convenient. What I cannot confirm is whether the ANR really works..i.e is the noise reduction due to the ear cups or due to the superior technology. In addition to this I've found the cable about a foot too short and the clip that keeps it at the right side of your head also can fall off and get lost.

A real relief !
by Arnaud from Paris, France
Pros: lightweight, selfpowered, clear reception, you still hear
Cons: volume does only have a
Review: We have some noisy A320 aircrafts in the company (Air France). This ANR headsdet is perfect. I bought the adapter for the A320 jack ; So that I can use the headset in Cessna, Airbuses... Really lightweight, clear reception, no battery needed, it's self-powered through the boomer. A must have, and not expensive compared to E.U prices !

Telex 850: Works with B777
by Rajinder Singh from Singapore
Review: Good ANR, coupled with HI/LO volume switch, ANR ON/OFF switch. Best part is no batteries required. ANR works in the Boing 777. Good buy: picked out clearly the ground engineer's and ATC transmission (the other pilot had difficulty using a conventional headset!)

Works great
by A Customer from Pittsburgh PA USA
Pros: Lightweight, well-made,compact size
Cons: Headband a bit uncomfortable for those who are
Review: I use these in a Dash 8 and they work fine. They cancel out just enough of the extra "high" noises without cancelling the important ones. I've only had them for a short time, but they seem well-made and durable, much more then the style would suggest. Not sure if they are really worth the $200 premium over the 750, but it sure seems that way.

Glad I bought this headset
by Ken from Chicago,IL and Columbus, OH
Pros: Light Weight, comfortable, NO Batteries required
Cons: Not as quiet as the Bose. I can't use them with an Ipod.
Review: They're great. They are light weight, comfortable and block much of the noise. They also come at a price I was willing to pay. They are not as quiet as the Bose but they are much cheaper and don't need batteries to work. I'm using them in a Cessna Citation Excel.

Sometimes I forget I have it on
by James from LIT
Pros: No Batteries, Very Light
Cons: I wouldn't try it in a Piston single or twin, try Bose X
Review: This is the perfect headset for jet aircraft. (I tried it in a King Air and it let too much outside noise through)
In the Cessna CJ it effectively eliminates what little outside noise there is, doesn't require batteries (A BIG +) and is so light I hardly feel it on my big head!

Good noise canceling headset for jets
by A Customer from
Pros: Light-weight, NO batteries needed, better price than Bose
Review: If you fly jets, and are using the Telex 750, I would definately suggest switching to the Telex 850.

Be Aware of the Telex 850...
by Arayan Lias from California
Pros: Nice and light and doesn't take up alot of room in your bag
Cons: No own power source. Doesn't work on all aircraft
Review: Since it has no battery pack and take the ANR power source from the hotmike, it doesn't work on some of the aircraft. I fly 747 Classic and it doesn't work without the transmit switch being keyed (no passive power). Don't know how to get around this problem beside putting the radio selector on intercom and use a rubberband to hold the transmit switch down (which might damage the radio unit).
Some sort of an alternative battery pack adapter would be nice.
For now it's just a very expensive Telex 750.

pretty good but...
by Paco from San Carlos, CA
Pros: noise reduction
Cons: comfort
Review: After 10 yrs on the 757, I went from a Telex, ear-bud to the 850. I like the noise cancellation but I don't like the:
-It’s funny, but you don’t really hear yourself when you speak. So it affects cockpit communications. I find myself pulling my left cup off my ear half the time to hear the captain; which defeats the purpose.
-Lack of good side tone when I transmit.
-Lack of padding on the hear brace. It gets annoying after a few hours.
-The ear cups are too small and hurt after a few hours.

Pros: No batteries required.
Cons: None
Review: It's lightweight, comfortable and doesn't need batteries. A great alternative if you want an ANR headset, but don't need the big "can" type.
