I have a pair of David Clarks I purchased before starting my PPL refresher training, but I'd also like to use them with PE. There seem to be a few USB headset adapters out on the market and es wondering if any of you have experience using these. If so, is there a particular brand that recommended or not recommended?

I do not have a USB version, but I do use a 3mm jack (x2)version. It is an EZ-FLITE BS-12
I has worked without a hitch for years.

I've been using the Flight Sound X usb adapter with my David Clarks for several months now. Works like a charm on my MacBook Pro.

Sounds like a good idea, but you could buy two and a half Logitech headphone/mic sets for that price.
I can understand wanting to use the same headset though.

I know what you mean, but as one who started out using a $25 Logitech USB headset, I absolutely LOVE my DC's. I've flown real world with them and logged quite a bit of X-Plane/PilotEdge time with them. It sure adds a sense of realism to me when I can use the same headset in the sim as I use in real life.punder wrote:Sounds like a good idea, but you could buy two and a half Logitech headphone/mic sets for that price.

Speaking of headgear, my mother-in-law saw me wearing my AOPA cap while simming, so she started teasing me about "puttin' on my lil' flyin' hat" to "play airplanes" on the computer.
I pointed out that the cap was there to hold up my TrackIR reflector, but for some reason, this didn't stop her from laughing.

Does AOPA beat out ASA head gear?

All I can say is, your SYSTEM sure beats the heck out of mine. Nice.
