BOOM (Gooseneck) MICROPHONES
A short note about microphone types:
Most new avionics are designed to work with "Carbon type" or "Carbon Equivalent" microphones.
"Electret" microphones designed for "AVIONICS" are very small, electronic "condenser" microphones that also work on the same bias voltages as do Carbon type microphones. "Most" telephone, cellular telephone microphones are of "electret" types, but will not work with the bias voltages provided by "AVIONICS" and are not suitable for this use. Dynamic microphones can be of an "Amplified Dynamic"  or "Un-Amplified". Most European avionics are designed to operate NON-Amplified Dynamic microphones and have microphone circuits for these types, however, most European avionics typically also have addition circuits to allow for use of "Electret" or Amplified Dynamic microphones as well, either by jumpers within the radios or specific pin-outs in the wiring.
Electret microphones offer excellent noise cancellation and are smaller, lower cost than and typically lighter than Dynamic types, however It is generally agreed that the Dynamic microphones  produce more natural sound and higher microphone volume output than do typical Electret types and do not require the user to be as close to the microphone or in many cases have the microphone touching the lips of the user as may be needed with the Electret element type microphone.

Plantronics MS50/T30-1
(W&W modified)

The MS50T30-1 is am amplified microphone (carbon equivalent) commercial pilots headset with single PJ-068 combination mic and headphone plug that will work with nearly all aviation transceivers set to "Standard, Carbon or Electret" microphone input. This headset as supplied from the manufacturer is not suitable for most general aviation uses since there is always a "hot mic" as wired from the factory. However, for our use W&W modifies this set by removing the "key" contact from within the mic plug so that the microphone operates as most other general aviation headsets making this an ideal sailplane headset for transmit only when the headphone (receiver) ear plug is not needed as is the normal case in most sailplanes where the pilot really wants to be able to hear the radio from the on board speaker as well as being able to hear the audio variometer and glider sounds. The MS50T30-1, like the Telex 5X5 Pro III and the Plantronics MS50T30-3 can be used with the supplied headband, or as show simple clipped to eyeglasses or even attached to shoulder straps.

Telex Stratus 50 Digital

Click on text for image and details
No other headset can match the Stratus 50 Digital for hearing protection. That's because only the Stratus 50 Digital features SmartSense™, a patented active noise reduction technology based on digital signal processing (DSP), to produce an incredible 50 dB of total noise protection!
The world's only "smart" headset
SmartSense DSP technology targets low frequency and tonal noise that conventional ANR can't block. These are the frequencies that cause the most hearing damage. SmartSense continuously samples the cockpit, then learns and adjusts the headset to the unique noise signature of your aircraft. No other headset eliminates more damaging noise than the Stratus 50 Digital.
The Stratus 50 Digital also offers a powerful combination of comfort, convenience and performance features.
Create a comfortable, customized fit, Telex's patented ComfortCam™ system allows you to fine tune headband tension to eliminate clamping. Comfort is enhanced by a unique headband construction that distributes weight evenly for a perfect fit, plus thick foam headband pads and newly redesigned, more comfortable ear cushions.
Telex's smart headset just got smarter
Ear cup speakers and an electret microphone help eliminate incidental noise and a new, high-efficiency boom microphone helps conserve battery power. The Stratus 50 Digital also features Telex's innovative cell phone/MP3 adapter which allows you to attach both your cell phone and MP3 player at the same time - no more switching cords! Plus you can mute both at a flick of a switch.
Features:
Total Noise Reduction: 50 dB ANR protection. The most protection you can buy!
exclusive Digital Single Processing (DSP)Technology: Patented SmartSense digital ANR technology cancels harmful frequencies other headsets can't handle. Plus SmartSense learns from its environment, adjusting and canceling the harmful noises unique to your airplane. And because SmartSense looks for patterns of noise to block, mission critical, emergency noises come through clearly. Typical ANR technology would muffle them - and what you can't hear can hurt you.
Cell Phone/Audio Adaptor: Unique dual cell phone/audio device interface. Plug both your cell phone and music in at once. No more switching cords! Plus you can mute both devices at the flick of a switch.
Advanced Microphone Technology: Telex invented the noise-canceling microphone for use in World War II combat. Telex supplied microphones for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs and became the first aviation microphone to land on the moon. The heritage continues. The Stratus 50 Digital features a high-quality, noise-canceling electret microphone to ensure the clearest possible transmission.
Low Profile, Adjustable Headband: Provides even distribution of weight without pressure points. Detented sliders allow you to adjust the headband for a custom fit. Plus our plush, soft headband cushion helps to eliminate hot spots.
Impact-Resistant Headband Design: You don't need to sacrifice comfort for durability. The Stratus 50 Digital utilizes an impact-resistant headband design with stainless steel reinforced stress points for durability and light weight.
Seal Out Sound. Seal In Comfort: New heat-sensitive, slow-recovery foam earpiece cushions form a secure, but comfortable fit - even around sun glasses. Created from a unique material, our cushions have the luxurious feel of lambskin leather but are much easier to keep clean.

ANR HEADSET (HMEC460)

 Enjoy a first-class flight
The new Sennheiser HMEC 460 headset was created especially with pilots in mind. The new inline power module and supreme comfort, sound and design of the HMEC 460 make it a truly first-class headset.
Communication is of highest importance while flying high, so we made the headset as efficient as possible. The closed ear protector headphones seal off cockpit surroundings, while the exclusive NoiseGard™ active noise compensation effectively reduces the roar of the engine. Others will hear the pilot clearly thanks to the noise-cancelling boom microphone, which is optimized for superior speech transmission.
We also threw in a few fun perks for those long flights. Pilots can fire up the new module with just two (2) AA batteries and enjoy exclusive benefits, like listening to audio from a cell phone and music device simultaneously. The audio will automatically fade when the pilot is contacted by air traffic control, so they’ll always be in the know. The set can also be used as standard headphones – one can just switch off the NoiseGard feature and enjoy!
The HMEC 460 replaces the HMEC 450 aviation headset and includes several other upgrades. The ultra-cushioned headband has 30% less caliper pressure than its predecessor, meaning the set will rest more comfortably around one’s head. The extremely soft leatherette earpads add to the comfy feel, while the silver-brushed surface gives the set a sleeker, more exclusive look.
