Mike,
Mark; and all you going deaf with noisy Rotary engines:
Hey; don’t blame
it on rotary enginesJ.
I fly quite comfortable
with my passive reduction Sennheisers in my Velocity 20B.
People tell me it’s
quieter than Lycs.
Al G
I have 2 sets of Halo Tubephones from Quiet Technologies, that
provide
about 30 dB of quieting at 125 Hz, and up to 45 dB at 4,000 Hz
and
higher. They sell for $360 each at www.quiettechnologies.com, or
their
booth at OSH.
Not connected in any way to them. Just a satisfied customer,
especially
after flying with my brother who was using his $1,000 Bose
headset.
We swapped, and both of us found the light Tubephones to be
quieter
and more comfortable.

Good report Mike. I know what you mean about a quieter muffler. My
