Headset Companion Audio Interface
Notes
New Low Price! Using a cell phone in your aircraft can be difficult at best, and even unsafe without the proper equipment. Sporty’s new Headset Companion solves these problems, allowing you to talk on your cell phone or listen to music while still enjoying the noise canceling capabilities of your headset. No need to worry about missing ATC—plugging in the adapter will not block radio transmissions. Great for pilots: •Pick up IFR clearances or cancel flight plans on the ground •Receive audio alerts from portable GPS units •Get weather briefings from FSS •Check in with family or friends Great for passengers: •Listen to a portable CD player, MP3 player or XM Radio •Call family or friends to update ETAs •Conduct business on the ground •Listen to a portable DVD player or gaming system Slim, lightweight design makes it inconspicuous in the cockpit. The Headset Companion is very easy to use—simply connect your phone, headset and intercom and turn it on. It works with any headset and most 2.5mm phones (Nokia phones may require an adapter). Uses one AAA battery (included).

Date - 9-23-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | I have not used the product myself, however my wife truly appreciates its ease of use. We have several relatives that live close to small GA airports and she uses it to let them know when we are arriving. I will try it someday to see if it creates too much distraction, but for now it is exactly what we wanted.

Date - 6-30-2009 Pilot Rating - Sport OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Small and compact with an off switch. Cons Instructions are not adequate to explain which cord is to be used with a cell phone. I had problems making the interface with the radio. I thought it was working in flight but the other end of the conversation could not hear me at all. The interface cords should be marked. |
Date - 6-18-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Works great with the ipod/mp3 player. ConsI have a Blackberry. When I attempted to make a phone call, I could hear the other person through my headset, but they could not hear me. General CommentsI'm glad I bought it, I would rather have paid a lower price considering the fact that I could only use it for my ipod. Other than that I'm happy with it. |

Date - 5-6-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | sound quality is poor Conswas able to quickly hook up to my 496, now able to hear traffic alerts (XRX) General Commentsif the sound was better, the unit would be perfect. but, it does the trick and is a descent solution for quick integration between your headset and gps unit. |
Date - 4-23-2009 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Low cost - easy to use. ConsAudio level is VERY low in both modes, but in transmit mode using my Bose "X" headset it was so low that I could not be heard by the party called. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 4-23-2009 Pilot Rating - ATP OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | none. ConsThe unit reduces aviation volume and adds distortion when activated. The cord that came with the unit did not fit my cell phone, so purchased a cable from Radio Shack from $12. The unit still did not work with the cell phone. It did work with my MP3 player, but the music volume was very low, distorted, and the aviation volume was also significantly reduced and distorted as well. General CommentsAvoid this product and it does not function as advertised. |
Date - 3-18-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | This little device instantly connected my Garmin 696 to my headphones. Now I can get 100% of my Garmin's capabilities. A VFR flyers dream come true. I have not tryed to use a cell phone in the air with it, but I am sure it would work just as good as it does with my Garmin. Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsThis little device is a dream come true for flying. |
Date - 3-12-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Small, couples up to headphones nicely. Nice to have music in the rental plane. ConsBe prepared to have a rats nest of cords in the cockpit, and if you don't have the proper brand of cell phone forget about talking. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 2-26-2009 Pilot Rating - ATP OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsThis product cannot be used safely in flight. Radio transmissions should stop the music from playing. They do not. ATC instructions or traffic calls ca easily be missed if music is played. I regret this purchase.
