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

I can tell you from practical use that they work EXTREMELY well for noise cancelation.  In fact, they the same type of noise cancelling used by Harrier and Blackhawk pilots.  If they take out that noise, I’m pretty sure they’ll handle the average GA airplane.

 

They are extremely light and comfortable.  No head clamping or heavy weight for hours of flying.

 

As to the noise canceling on the mic, it has active noise canceling.  I could call you from my airplane and have a conversation and you would not be able to tell that I’m in the air.  As for wind noise, I also use my headset as a hands free cellular headset.  I have driven down the interstate at 75 mph, with the windows wide open and the person I was talking to could not hear the wind.

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.
