I Need a headset - just for the passenger intercom. I'm talking the $100.00 ones. Any thoughts on what's best for comfort and noise pickup. The old Cherokee is noisy!

Another option would be buying a used headset. You can often easily knock $100 off a current model and out-of-production models can be even less (including in the $100-$125 range) for name brands. That's the route I went - I picked up a $350 headset for $225 (including shipping) in pretty good condition off eBay. Older, simpler models can definitely be less.

I've got two of these:

They have great service and the headsets are tough and work well. No ANR, of course.

Periodically they will have refurbs for half price with the same ( lifetime ) warranty.

Try this one on e-bay right now.

It's a Bose ANR, used, current bid is only $139 with a few hours left.

Rats! missed it. That would've been a deal.

don't worry, the auction was for the mic and adapters only.

Aviation Consumer's top pick for the low priced headsets was the Gulf Coast Avionics' GCA-9T. I bought one for my wife, and she really likes it. We have a noisy Zenith 701, and it works fine in it. Costs $109 plus shipping, and comes with a cell phone jack and cord.
