I got an ad for the Bose QuietComfort 20i ANR in-ear headset . I have a pair of the non-ANR headphones and like them a lot. When i travel in an airline, I use them instead of the over-the-ear ANR headset that I also have.
This new headset has a built-in microphone to use with iPhones and other smartphones. Would anybody know if such a microphone can drive the mic input of aviation radios? It would not be that hard to make an adapter to plug the headset into the airplane's radio system (I happen to have an Icom A200) and this would make a nice headset for the plane, if the mocrophone could work.
I tried to find the microphone specs, but didn't find anything on the Bose web site. Perhaps someone can comment on the specs of smartphone microphones.
