you

wouldn't

want

to

flY that

waY

for

long.

The

HS

800

goes

downhill

in comfort

when

wearing

glasses,

particularly

thick

sunglasses.

The

ANR

is

fine

as

the

earseals

are

quite malleable,

but

the

clamping

on

the

glasses

becomes

noticeablY

un-

comfortable

after

several

hours.

Battery

life

is

Pegged

at 25

hours

on

alkalines.

We

after

about

20

Your

The

box

has

a

Plug

that

does

double

for

Phone

or

music

and

the

wide

variety

of

cables

to

make

that

work

are

included.

All

cell

and

music

control

is via

the

iemote

device

rather

than

the

headset.

Our

gold standard

for

music

fidelity

in

an

aviation

headset

is a

wired connection

to

the

latest

Light-

speed

Zulu.

If the

HS

800

isn't

its

equal,

it's

at

Ieast

close.

The

HS

800

has

a

controller

button

to

turn

auto-

muting

on

or

off

at

There's

no

Bluetooth

in the

HS-800,

however'

The

HS

800

feels

solidlY

made

and

is

warranted

for

five

years.

You

have

the

option

of

creating

'

Head-to-head

with

the

Sl,

we'd

have

to

say

Sennheiser's

headset

is

quieter.

We

think

the

HS 800

is

also

bested

bY

the

Bose

A20

and

the

Lightspeed

Zulu

in this

regard'

But

this

is splitting

hairs.

The

HS

800

is

plenty

quiet for

all-daY

use.

It's

suiprisingly

good

at

passive

noise

reduction

when

turned

off,

given

its

is

an

extra

$40.

The

headset

is

Priced

at

$840,

midway

between

the

highest

head-

sets

and

the

middle

field

such

as

the

Lightspeed

Sierra.

The

Sierra

is

more

feature-packed,

but

we

think

the

HS

800

is

more

comfortable

(with

thin

sunglasses,

anYwaY)

and

quieter'
