Re: In-the-ear headsets (WAS: "Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group good mic muf")

I looked at both Clarity Aloft and Quiet Technologies and chose the QT.  Replacement parts (foam earpieces) were much simpler and I just liked them better.  Personal preference.  Check out both at OSH.  Here is the QT website.  http://www.quiettechnologies.com/  My son and I ended up both getting a set (OSH special plus buying 2 made it even cheaper) and I no longer use my Dave Clarks at all and totally regret spending the money on ANR which I no longer use.  This is comfortable, quiet, so light I forget I'm wearing it on a cross country.  I may pick up another set at OSH this year, and sell my ANR.  I had a friend visiting and she is pretty small and after I let her use my headset one time, she refused to give it back.  So, I was stuck with the Dave Clarks until she left.  Here's a video of her using it and you can see how light weight it is.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQQE04AwFcY&feature=youtu.be I do acro and never have a problem with it leaving my head during negative Gs.

Looks to me like what Clarity Aloft offers is one of those in-the-ear (rather than over the ear) headsets.

I have some doubt that that would make any difference in the wind noise being picked up in the mic as their mic would be basically no different than any other headset mic.

But it does raise something I'm curious about:
Anyone here have any experience using any of those headsets that plug IN your ears? Their supposed advantage is they should be great at keeping cockpit noise out of our ear and be much lighter and less bulky than traditional headsets.
If so, wonder why they're not popular. They're costly, but so are the top end conventional headsets that I see widely used.
