Comfortable, excellent active noise reduction

None

I have owned the Telex 50 for several years. They fit around my ear very well, and provide a very good sound seal. They are as good as, if not better than my quiet comfort Bose headsets. I have a very noticable active noise reduction, and even when I forget to turn the Texex on, they provide an excellent passive noise reduction making it very easy to hear and communicate with the engines operating.

Really cuts the noise down

Battery hog.
When batteries are low, cuts out like there is a problem with the radio.
too expensive

excellent noise reduction, very comfortable to wear

original set would not work with batteries, took almost a month to go through the return process before I had a second set in my hands

After receiving the second headset, I purchased 2 more sets

The headset provides excellent noise cancellation and is very comfortable to wear. Unit only works with 12v power cord. Would not work with AA batteries. Since my airplane does not have a 12v outlet, I verified the active noise reduction feature in my diesel truck.

Did not work with AA batteries. Since my airplane does not have a 12v outlet, I could not use the active noise reduction feature. I sent the unit back to Sportys and asked for a new headset. If Sporties sends me a unit that works with batteries, I plan on purchasing a second set.

Comfortable to wear, excellent noise cancellation in diesel truck. Unit would not work with batteries so could not test the active noise reduction feature in my airplane. Sent them back to Sportys and asked for a new pair. If the new pair works, I will purchase a second set.

Very, very comfortable, very quiet. Was in the twin the other day for almost an hour before I realized that I had not turned them on. They are that quiet.

The cord is a mile long. I am going to try and zip tie it together. No kidding, this thing is nine feet long, not sure what they were thinking with that. You could skip rope with this thing.

I was upset when I first got them, the Telex website states that they are made in the U.S., which is one of the main reasons for picking them. When I received them the box stated that they were made in Mexico. I very nearly sent them back, but my wife told me to try them first. They work awesome. They have much better sound quality than the Zulu's, they fit much better than the david clamps, and have a much nicer ear cushion than the bose, plus they are less expensive. I am happy with them and will buy another pair for my wife very soon.

A great headset with all the bells and whistles. At a price that I feel is great for what you are getting.

After the first use I had to ship it back to Telex for a repair of one of the switches. They returned it free of charge within 8 days.

I fell this is a great buy and is well worth the money in my opinion.

A lot of noise reduction passive & active. I bought two headsets and one came brand new with messed up software, but I returned it and am very please with how they work and how quiet they are.

It does take a little bit of work to adjust the head-clamping force, but the fact that it has an adjustment is really a plus. Also, they kind of look dorky and are really big on your head.

I compared this to the David Clark new X-11 series and sent them back. I will stick with the Telex.

Cheaper than a Bose. Music/Cell audio input is nice.

Not in the same league as a Bose. Bulky. Lots of "hiss" while ANR is active.

I've flown with several ANR headsets and this just can't compete with the Bose for the cost.

Rather good avionics. Couple of times I've forgot to put on the ANR cause the noise abatement is so good without it, but when I've remembered and switched it on, WoooW whole different world even the flying seems easier when you can concentrate to manouver when the noise isn't bothering, makes you feel like a real pro ;)... Only thing that bugs me is the amount of wire cause in the cockpit of R22 there isn't too much space....But summa summarum I'm happy with my decision to buy these ones...Although these are my first ones which I buy myself but they sure beat the hell out of the regulars which are in the schools helicopters.

Very quiet and comfortable. Good sound quality.

Use four AA batteries that are hard to take out of the case. They do not turn off automatically so you have to remember to turn them off manually.

Excellent headset. I had David Clark before. These are much better. Sound quality is good and they are very quiet. I would highly recommend.
