Hi all,

 

I bought this headset about 4 months ago when I still had my J. I've since traded the J for a Bravo and my old Lightspeed Zulu is a better headset for the Bravo so I'm putting the halo up for sale.

It comes with 3 sets of the yellow standard tips, 3 sets of the pediatric tips, 1 set of the triple flanged rubber tips  - all unused - and the case.  It also comes with a lifetime supply of batteries ;)

Price on Halo website is $359 but the Halo web site says they're sold out right now. First $275 (firm) takes it.
PM me if interested.

 

Dave

I will offer positive comments for the Halo. I got mine a couple of years ago and I must say the clarity in the mid range frequency (voice) is remarkable for me. I can hear ATC and pickup ATIS broadcasts much clearer than before. My "say again" requests are rare.

The background noise is muted nearly as good as active noise reduction but it does not cancel noise so you need not fear missing a new engine sound or an alarm horn.

Congratulations, Quick Draw. You'll like them.
Thanks. I bought Dave's despite seeing Stinky Cargo Pant's (aka 201er) Halo headset up close and loaded with ear wax. There was enough wax to make a couple of candles... The real reason I bought the headset was because AOPA didn't send me one of those hats without the button on top. Wait a sec... That was another thread... :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So now you, too, will have help keeping the wax out of your ears! :-) just use the silicone tips, and roll them between your fingers before you put them in. Each set should last a couple of years, they do for me. No, never used the foam tips.

Can we stop all of the name-calling now, and go back to acting like adults? If I want to read that crap, I'll visit the Red or Blue Boards.

Hank -- you got to get out to one of our fly-ins... You can judge firsthand for yourself. I wished I snap a picture of those ear buds.

I've been trying, but the weather through the mountains won't cooperate. Then again, ya'll could have an event a little further from the coast, say west of the SFRA?

I'm game going west, but the guys further east may not want to. Then again, Brett will be getting that Baron and you can come over with him!

Oh...what have I started?

Chris - if you accumulate enough ear wax on these, will you start wearing cargo pants, get long range tanks and fly to Belize?

 

That seems to be the preferred progression. Buy Halos, filled them up with ear wax, start wearing cargo pants and get them dirty on the way to Belize. I will say one thing about Mike. He has a sense of humor about those pants. 

 

And yes, you started all this ;)

I borrowed a pair of Bose and compared to my Halos...

Nothing beats the Bose for their sound canceling effect. They are almost as stylish as Beats by Dr. Dre. Downside is the price and bulk.

Nothing beats the Halos for their ability to deliver sound in the cockpit. Downside is the earplug style may take getting used to for some. You won't miss a call in the IFR environment. Nothing goofier than trying to exit the cockpit with the halos still plugged in.... Signs of comfort...

Anyone that is tall in sitting height, will really appreciate the Halos. Especially in turbulence.

My experience was gained in a pair of long body Mooneys, both R & S. they are a little more quiet than others, worth mentioning....

My thoughts, shared,

-a-

I have a set of Bose and they now sit on the rear seat back waiting for a passenger.  I prefer the Halo's.  The sound deadening with the foam tips is awesome and I keep my intercom volume much lower than I have to with the noise canceling headset.  The best thing to do is give them a try.  I believe he has a return policy if you're not happy with them.  I would guess he gets very very few of them back. 

You will have to clean the foam tips from time to time (hint hint 201ER).  Or just buy a whole bunch of extra ear pieces and throw the old ones away.
