Vic 3 headsets; Which do you prefer?

[juanprado]

Putting together a vic 3 intercom.

Which headset do you prefer to use with this setup?
Bose triport or Racal ra5000 or ____? I assume both of these are noise cancelling?

Ironically, I tested both as I have two of each. I put a bose on one box and a Racal on the other. I thought the Racal barely beat out the Bose. However, the difference is so slight, I really can't say one is better than the other.

This was in a silent environment. Have yet to test it at highway speed.

This is the old bose. I have a friend who is sending me one of the new ones. Someday.

Ha, I just realized that post was probably of zero help to you! I'll report back after a highway test.

Any chance you've highway tested in the last two months?

Right now there are some David Clark headsets up for auction in either single or double earpiece models that were used by the Air Force. From experience I can tell you that these are some of the nicest headsets out there and they're priced right in the same range as the Bose or Racals.
