drmax sent me a pm requesting my opinion of the QT Halo headsets and his pm box is full and will not accept a reply so I will post a pirep here and everyone can read.
Greg,
I love my GT Halo's and use them almost exclusively. Although they have no ANR circuitry, they are actually quieter than my Zulu's in flight. I am flying my C-152 until my -10 is done. I usually only use my Zulu's on a quick flight or let the passenger wear them. I do love the bluetooth function of the Zulu's so so thats a trade off. The trick to using the Halo's is to really squeeze down the foam inserts and quickly insert the squished ear foam pieces deep into the ear so they expand and seal out any outside noise. They are extreemly comfortable to wear on long flights and I don't get the headache from the squeezing pressure traditional headsets give. They are great for wearing hats as the hat does not interfere and goes right over the support wire. I purchased mine at Oshkosh at QT's booth and there was a discount at the time. He had a demo set-up and when I tried them out, I was sold. Good price, quieter that my Zulu's, more comfortable. If you don't have a audio input jack, one can be installed in your -9 in little time probably. Try it. If you don't like them you can sell them here and only take a small $ loss. Good luck.
Dave
