Works for my Bose A20 in a Diamond DA40

  • By Tom Preston-Werner from San Francisco CA USA on Tuesday, May 23, 2017
  • Pros: Cheap solution to the problem
  • Cons: Could be a bit more streamlined
  • Review: I use a Bose A20 when I fly helicopters (Robinson R22, R44). Recently I've started taking fixed wing lessons and figured it would be cheaper to buy an adapter than to fork over another $1100 on an essentially identical headset. I wasn't sure if it'd work with the Diamond DA40, but it's been working perfectly! Very happy with this purchase.

Good quality and gets the job done pretty pretty well.

  • By Fernando Giraldo, rotorcraft and fixed wing. from Tulua Valle Del Cauca Colombia on Saturday, January 16, 2016
  • Pros: Easy to use, even an ape could plug those bloody things into the headsets.
  • Cons: Not really.
  • Review: It did the job that it was expected to do very very well, when I wasn't flying the 530 and had to hop on the 172 or the king 200 just by plugging this little buddy on the A20's I was ready to fly fixed wing and enjoy the good sound quality of my Bose's headsets, when I stopped flying fixed wing and back to rotorcraft just unplug and back to helos.

    A properly made product.

Great way to have one headset for all flights

  • By Nick from Bayview ID USA on Friday, February 17, 2012
  • Pros: Allows me to have one headset for both fixed wing and rotor apps
  • Cons: Heavy. It can weigh down the cord to the headset.
  • Review: Works great, compact size, great signal transmission. Seems tough and rugged, should last well. Rugged construction is a trade off for the weight, but well worth it. I would rather it lasted the tests of time, than be lightweight.

High quality adapter

  • By Ben Toonen from Boven Leeuwen Netherlands on Thursday, September 15, 2016
  • Pros: Strong high quality
  • Cons: there arent any
  • Review: This product exceeded my expectations. It is strong, you really need force to plug or unplug the adapter. This is a positive property. it won't accidentally unplug.
    Also the service of mypilot store is excellent. They did some extra effort to get the package to the Netherlands.

    The only downside is de customs of Holland. they charge me an extra 35 dollar to handle it.

The Dave Clarks H10-76 work on general aviation aircraft provided you change the impedence (this is done when you change out the stock mic with the electret mic).  Works great now that I have it rigged properly.

Appears to be a good value

  • By David E. Graves from Astoria OR USA on Friday, February 12, 2010
  • Pros: Better price than most and dealing with a reputable shop
  • Cons: Still a little high priced for what is included and the chord may be a little short to reach some outlets in some aircraft
  • Review: I think that it is going to work just fine. I thought, while the price was lower than most, yet it was a little expensive for the amount the quality of materials. Also, I felt that to get a five out of five, the chord could have been a little longer so that it would be sure to reach the recepticles on any light aircraft. DEG
