Kid Headset

Minnesota_Flyer · October 22nd, 2007, 19:55

Anybody have any experience with kid-size headsets? Marv Golden has a Pilot USA headset for $115 which is advertised as being for 1.5-10 years that I'm looking at. Any thoughts?

Doesn't DC make a convertable model? It's got smaller ears, but converts to a regular full-size headset. I think it was a DC.....

I've never put headsets on my kids when they've flown (not that they've flown very often though). When we've gone up I've worn mine just over one ear, and that was so I could hear the kids AND the radio.

That's what I've done before (him with no headset), but I'm looking at a 3+ hour trip to grandparents.

I did look at the DCs, but nearly $300 and I already have two 13.4s and don't really want another set. I wonder if you can buy a kit to convert an adult 13.4 to the kid size.

I just purchased the AVCOMM AC250 for $60 off of Ebay for my 3 1/2 year old. I think they run new around $110.

Here's a link for more info.

I'll let you know what i think of them when i get them.

I fly quite a bit with my kids and they always wear a headset. Planes are loud for little ears, even big ears. I just bought cheap ones because they are very rough on them.
