Entries with tag "sigur_ros"July 16, 2007 at 9:16 PMMy aviation headset arrived today, just as I was about to head to Hammond for a solo flight. This headset, unlike the basic units the FBO provides with their planes, has active noise cancellation, which is a feature I've never had before in a set of headphones. I tried it out in my apartmente before leaving, and it's incredible. A flick of the button, and my annoyingly loud air conditioning unit just disappears. Needless to say, it works great for a droning airplane engine as well (yet retains enough of the sound for you to clearly hear what the engine is doing). I could actually hear the wind whooshing past the plane. This headset also has an input for a cell phone or MP3 player (automatically muted when anyone talks on the radio, of course). I don't know if there's anything more wonderful than lifting off the ground with Sigur Rós playing gently in the background as the sun starts to set.
