Suggest ANR Upgrade
 
Robert if you are going to changeout the earcup speakers why not upgrade to active noise canceling at the same time. I just did this with my old David Clark military headset using HeadsetsInc kit. It was easy to install their kit and it works very well. They have a kit for helmets too. You are correct the mic also needs to be replaced.

Yes, I have been looking at that type of change out too. The only one I have found that I like and felt comfortable with was the one that is install in the new David Clark "Pro-X" headset. The guys at David Clark told me at Oshkosh that there was a guy in South Carolina that was putting that system they had in the "Pro-X" in helmets, but that David Clark was not doing it. The mice sure, the Gentex # 5060-4, I will spend the extra money there, I think 25-30 dollars over the standard mice, but well worth it as I have one on a Soft-Comm. in my flight bag.
I may go that way in a few years, if I don't like a standard set of speakers, but I have found that the sound inside a helmet, with its shell is much quieter than a set of head phone that does not have that extra layer for sound deadening. Good idea Thanks. Yours as always. R.E.A. III #80888
