The Control Room Floor / ATC Headsets

Quote from: Matthew Bartels
The PTT was worth every cent I paid for it 5 (can't believe it's been that long) years ago for around $250 (  @ Dhruv) It is only now starting to fail on me. Wear and tear at the USB connector causes the whole shebang to disconnect if the connection is moved anywhere but the right place. Very annoying if you have a lot of aircraft on frequency and your voice goes out.

I will be purchasing a new one as soon as I can free up the funding. 5 years is quite impressive for a usb device that's been abused by me.


Sounds like its well built,  I wouldn't complain at all if anyone else comes across these for a cheaper price.   I don't seem to be having too much luck.

Thanks for the links! I bought a H31 for $40 on ebay last night and picked up the DA40 as well for $30! I figured the PTT wasn't worth the extra $100 but I would really love to be able to get one for cheaper if they were available.

Ok, thanks a lot! Well the plan is the make the headset only transmit voice into the earpiece and let my speakers or whatever take care of the rest.  I think I'm just about sold on the H31 now

Thank you both for in suggestions! I almost hate to say it but I'm leaning towards getting the H31 setup even though its pricey. I already have some great headphones and would feel bad not using them as much as I can/do. On a side note getting them for free wouldn't be too bad

Ah, good to know. Just curious if you're using the H31 or the H31N? I actually plan on being a real controller so I'm wondering if it would be worth picking one of these up.

Thanks again Harold I'll look into that one for sure, and Dhruv! I spoke with you in ZMP a couple days ago, you mic sounded superb except a couple times where it was really quiet. Would that have just been from setting down the mic or something of the sort?

Thanks for the heads up Harold, so which headset do you use now?

Thanks a lot for the tips! I'm still trying to decide on getting a good USB headset, I'd really like to know what the voice quality difference would be vs the expensive route

Hey everyone, I saw a a thread that seems to be outdated and about a year old, but I was wondering about any ATC headsets that anyone uses or recommends and a method to connect it with my computer (PTT would be great if possible too)

Thanks!
