Bob,
The closest I could see at any avionics outlet was a portable intercom with a cel interface.  Some of the new ANR headsets have a jack for the cel phone to plug into but it would be nicer if both could talk from the FLIGHT DECK**.  I'm hoping Headsets Inc. have done this and will supply a drawing.

** (politically correct version - "Cock Pit" is out, "Flight Deck" is in... :)  Flyin' just ain't what it used to be!  Good thing the Coupes have yokes instead of... dare I say it... Joy Sticks!  And that ain't no yoke, no sureee.

For I think under $30 Sporty's and other pilot shops have adaptors for cell phones to intercoms and head sets. I got a set with an intercom and my icon hand held. Neither works with my cell phone. I agree, being able to place a cell phone home from the hanger before you get out to put the plane away really makes it a desireable option. Also useful on a rainy day when the kid won't answer the unicom to come pump some gas in. You can call them on the phone and tell them to get out there. You do need to check out the one you order with your cell phone however.

I asked the original question.  I currently own 2 Lightspeeds ($375 ea. new) and 2 older Telex ($250 ea. used about
 3 yrs ago).  I have a David Clark H10-30 which is a fine headset for it's time but as mentioned, it is heavier than the Lightspeeds.  Now if you want to win the weight contest, then you have to spend a grand or so on BOZE.  Just the same, the David Clark is so rugged that it seems a shame to have it sitting in a box somewhere with the spiders nesting in the earcups.  I also own several planes including the Coupe.  I have gotten tired moving headsets from plane to plane (now there's a high class problem) and didn't want to spend ~$350 on an ANR for the Coupe.  Now the real crunch will come when I have an ANR in the left seat and don't have one for the right seat for the co-pilota.  Rocks wont be the only thing hitting the fan then.  I have various assorted $100 headsets laying around, but as A J points out, the $170 may not be justified on one of those.  Perhaps I should trade a pair of those for one more DC???

BTW, have any of you electronic geeks out there ever interfaced an aviation headset with the 2.5mm headset plug on a cellfone.  (Yea, just for ground use :)))
