  • Review: 5 stars for both this product and mypilotstore's customer service.

    I ordered one of these and it sat in the box for several weeks before I had a chance to try it out with my military single plug Bose X headset. I took it out to the Cessna 172 and tried it. When I transmitted, I got a loud squeal. It was DOA. I knew the return policy was 4 weeks so I pretty much chocked it up to me buying the wrong adapter and I was out the money.

    MyPilotStore emailed me to see how my order went. I took the opportunity to let them know what had happened but I understood their return policy. What did they do? They told me to send it back for an exchange anyway! I sent it back, they sent me a new adapter and guess what? It works!

    I couldn't be happier with both this adapter and the customer service experience. This place already has the best prices online for pilot gear but I am sold on my experience with them. They have earned my business and I will continue to shop here and only here.

    Yes, this works with the single plug Bose X military headset!

Exactly the correct adapter

  • By Ryan from Sheldon IA USA on Tuesday, February 16, 2016
  • Pros: Correct adapter
  • Cons: None
  • Review: I was looking for the correct adapter for my Bose A20 Military headset to work in my Piper Saratoga. I actually had purchased two different adapters from Sporty's. Neither was the correct adapter. This adapter works well.

Works as advertised

  • By Tom from Sierra Vista, AZ USA on Thursday, August 21, 2014
  • Pros: Saves $$ over buying new headsets
  • Cons: none
  • Review: I bought this adapter to verify it would actually work before we purchased 10 more of them. We have U.S. Army RC-12 (King Air 200) airplanes which use the single-prong low impedance headsets. With the acquisition of the new MC-12 (King Air 350) they are dual-prong high impedance. This adaptor works great. It is a perfect solution so we can keep our original headsets.

The product I needed for easy headset conversion

  • By Tim from Jackson, OH on Tuesday, October 28, 2014
  • Pros: works well, no issues
  • Cons: pricey; for some cord, audio transformer/resistors.
  • Review: As a full time A&P and part time pilot, I had a very reliable pair of David Clark H10-76 headsets that were basically useless to me in civilian aircraft. At times I am required to work on aircraft with either a military intercom system or a civilian system. The difference here is the microphone impedance and the plug style. This adapter allows me to easily convert my DC H10-76 without changing out the microphone. I also like to use my own headset for maintenance purposes, rather than the drool covered specimens issued from my company tool room. In ground testing, I have not noticed any unusual sounds, static or side-tones caused by this device in any intercom system as yet, and verified this by disconnecting and using other (civilian) headsets, with identical results. This impedence adapter does not work well with my Vx-150 handheld radio. It causes the sound to be muffled and distorted if plugged into my hand-held's headset adapter. This is not a significant complaint for me, because other (civilian) headsets work fine with the handheld, and my primary use for this headset is maintenance, however it was worth noting. I have not yet had a chance to test this adapter in flight in a reciprocating engine aircraft, nor have I tested it with any ANR headsets. Although it is cheaper than a new headset, at $80 bucks I still think the price is a bit steep for what it is.

Works great with my Bose Headset.

  • By Eric from Harker Heights TX USA on Friday, August 05, 2016
  • Pros: Functions as needed.
  • Cons: Makes for a longer cord that tends to get in the way.
  • Review: Ideal for those bouncing between rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. It's nice to use one headset for multiple airframes.

  • By Jeffrey from Diberville MS USA on Sunday, January 24, 2016

Works exactly as advertised!!!!

  • By Patrick from Colorado Springs CO USA on Tuesday, July 01, 2014
  • Pros: allows you to use a military headset in fixed wing GA aircraft.
  • Cons: Haven't found any yet
  • Review: I love this product. This allowed me to use my military head set in a civilian fixed wing setting without having to buy another headset. I've used this about 5 times now and it works great every time.

Esceeded my highet expecations!!!

  • By John Paul from Gilmer TX USA on Wednesday, February 12, 2014
  • Pros: Able to use the coiled cord which doesn't get tangled. Can use the headsets in many different application without having to change out the microhones.
  • Cons: Expensive, but well worth it if you change back and forth from GA to military applcations.
  • Review: Used this on my two David Clark 10-76's. Transmission and reception were crystal clear. the H 10-76's worked just as well as headsets costing twice as much. Used in a twin tail Beech Bonanza.

Great adapter and alternative for a new mic and cable

  • By Mattchu from Shreveport, LA (KDTN) on Friday, May 12, 2017
  • Pros: Clear TX and RX, "cheap" alternative to a new mic
  • Cons: A little on the pricey side
  • Review: Works perfect on my Bose A20 military spec headset. I ordered one to try it out, loved it, then ordered another for my other pair. So much better than spending $200-300 for a new mic and drop cord. I asked ATC how they heard me and had no complaints.

Worth it

  • By A Customer on Tuesday, June 27, 2017

    I bit pricy for an adapter, but if u have a military headset and use it on a GA plane i think is the only option. I used on a bose A 20.

Works with Bose X military

  • By A Customer from Eagan, MN on Monday, August 25, 2008
  • Pros: Works as advertised
  • Cons: Less control over volume, must turn volumes way up
  • Review: Works well converting the mil spec headset to GA. No buzzing, sound sgood. However, when actively using the "noise reduction" function, all volumes must be turned way up in order to hear. I rarely use the "noise reduction" since the GA aircraft are so much quieter than Mil air. Hope this helps!

  • By Samuel from Cleveland, TN on Tuesday, February 24, 2009
  • Review: This adapter made my David Clark H10-66 military headset work perfect in my Cessna 172. It made the volume a little quieter so i had to turn the volume up to the max and it still sounded a little quiet. Thats the only con to this product is that the volume seemed to be low.  It does what it says though and converts my U-174/U plug into my GA two plug.

  • By samuel from cleveland TN USA on Tuesday, April 07, 2009
  • Pros: Converts the military plag to the G/A plug and makes it work!
  • Cons: Makes the volume sound lower than normal
  • Review: This adapter really does the job for my david clark military headset. It makes the volume sound a lot lower, but if you turn the volume way up then there is no problem hearing everything.

Good product

  • By A Customer from Fort Rucker AL USA on Monday, March 13, 2017
  • Pros: Cheap
  • Cons:
  • Review: This is a great cheap alternative to rebuilding the headset. I haven't had any problems hearing people and I've only had one complaint from another aircraft that my radio was low. I've used it for three months now and only onE complaint, not bad for the money.

I think it is not supposed to add buzzing to the system

  • By Alan from Houston TX USA on Monday, September 09, 2013
  • Pros: small and easy to install
  • Cons: added electrical noise to headset
  • Review: It is actually pretty simple but it added a buzzing to the comms for everyone that is not there when we use any other headset/adapter.

    Afraid it may be not functioning as expected or I expected too much, but cannot understand other pilots or ATC with constant 60 cycle hum in my ear.

Don't buy this product

  • By Terry from Huntington Beach CA USA on Monday, March 10, 2014
  • Pros: non
  • Cons: It didn't Work.
  • Review: After calling mypilotstore to confirm this product was compatible with my Bose X headset I purchased the adapter. Well, it doesn't work with the Bose headset. The adapter does not completely connect and I could not transmit. I recommend purchasing the completely new boom mic and high impedance connector and not bothering with this product.
