CRAZEDpilot In-The-Ear Headset

I sold my DC One-Xs for a pair of these. As I moved into a 737 it seems like most of the time I found myself hanging an ear out of my headset in order to have conversation. I don’t know what it is, but it seems like we never use the ICS system. Felt like overkill having all the ANR if one ear was always exposed anyway. This headset was my solution.It has been AWESOME. The headset is really comfortable, sound clarity is great, seems like ATC always hears me clearly, the line is plenty long allowing for ease of plug-in, it doesn’t take batteries. I can use only one ear bud in or two depending on whether or not we are using the ICS. My hair never gets messed up!Unfortunately, I left my set in an aircraft last night and probably won’t be able to recover them.

This headset is an obvious copy of the Clarity Aloft or Halo headsets, both of which I have used in the past. This headset aims to provide the same comfort at an amazing price point, and almost succeeds. The headband is comfortable and the mic sounds great (no mic gain control though). The two major issues are with the headphone earbuds. First, the cable connecting the earbuds to the headset is shockingly delicate and unprotected. The second issue, which was immediately apparent, is that the earbuds they have chosen to use are too big and don't fit into the ear far enough, even using different ear tips. The result is mediocre noise blocking-I could not get a good seal because the earbuds could not go in my ears deep enough. The earbuds have a fairly large plastic housing which just gets in the way. They would have been better using a tiny driver like the clarity aloft, which achieves its excellent noise suppression using a tiny headphone driver but it's small so it goes deeper into the ear canal. If the manufacturer could use smaller earbud drivers and use a stronger, protected earbud cable, this would be a winner.

Unfortunately did not receive the correct headset as pictured. I received a headset with small earbuds of which one was broken when it arrived. I wish it would have been functional and as picture. Sent back!

I bought these a couple years ago because I don’t like “headclamp” type headsets. I wanted something lightweight, comfortable and wouldn’t give me “headset hair.” The Clarity Alofts are the industry standard for in ear headsets and this was a good try, but cheap wiring ruined it. It is a comfortable headset and the sound quality and microphone are adequate, but the wiring is too fragile. Like someone pointed out, the case bends the main cable/wire on the headset and eventually will cause the ground wire to break. I fixed it initially by soldering the ground wire back together but it broke a couple more times so I ended up using a new cable and rewired the whole headset. That lasted another year but then the mic quit working and I’m done fixing it every couple of weeks. Going to spend more on a quality headset. Good idea, but poor quality.

Since I bought them it’s been more than 20 flight hours using the headset already, really light and confortable to use, mic stayed in position all the time, the only thing I against this headset is that the volume of the audio coming from the Aux input is too low, one of the reasons I choose this one was for the advantage of connect the iPad to my headset and have all the ForeFlight call outs, but this audio volume is too low, almost can’t hear it. It will be great if CRAZEDpilot comes with a new model fixing this issue

Very light when wear. Sounds great! Mic works very well(a bit too sensitive on b737 with intercom on) Totally satisfied. I have much more than what I paid for!

This headset was great for 18 months. However, the wire jacket for the earpiece slowly wore through. It was no longer usable after 18 months. I guess I should have bought a nicer headset from the start. I flew quite a bit during this time. I'd estimate that these lasted for 300 hours of use.

I like the concept. I use them in an airline environment so lots of flying and A/C changes. One speaker had a light crackle but tolerable. The wires on the earpiece wear out quickly. I put some shrink wrap around it to protect it longer knowing it would break through. It did on the right side and quit altogether. The main wire also kinked and frayed and started falling out of the small housing. I taped it with electrical tape and put a micro zip tie around the top and bottom of the tape. Helped for awhile. The case provided is to small and pinches the main cord and causes this. The zipper pouch should be cut out to allow more room for them. I started putting them in a deep Tupperware with a lid to protect it better. What they should of done was put the main cord at a 45* angle out the port instead of vertical and it wouldn’t pinch it.Bought a second pair off of eBay. They were like brand new and hardly used it at all. I used them on a 2 day trip. The right earpiece was very uncomfortable and I couldn’t figure out why the wire didn’t ride up and over my ear like it should. It stuck out to the side. On the second leg of of trip I took them off and discovered the right earpiece wire was put in upside down or 180* off. The wire should go up instead of down and it puts a lot pressure on the earpiece making it uncomfortable. I emailed them and they said the headset was over 5 years old so nothing they could do. They looked new to me and I didn’t ask so I’m stuck with a headset with a manufacturer defect. Make sure you check your wires to make sure they are not upside down.The yellow arrow is correct. The red line is where it should go. It’s backwards.
