Clarity Aloft Headset

[Huncowboy]

Hi everyone,

I registered here just to post this question about the clarity aloft non TSOed.

I used to own one and used it in the Embraer 145 for a year. It was great. But I remember I had to keep the volume down because it was really blasting on medium. Then I got a better job flying an Airbus 320 which is so quiet. So I sold it. I was regretting that later because we still had to use a headset in the bus below FL180 but I did not want to blow another $500.

Then I got furloughed and I had to start flight instructing in C172s and now I am about to start flying a C210 for a while. So I had to buy something, I figured I would buy the same again so I did.

Here comes the question:

How is the volume for you guys using this headset in GA planes? I have now tried it in 4 different planes and it is always way too low. I have to crank the panel and the headset control both to max then i hear OK. Still not loud enough just OK. I have already sent one back and same results with the new one.

Any ideas? Thanks!!!

bump. Sorry but this is the only place I have seen a real discussion of this headset. I will only bump this once.
