How It Works

NOTE: Bose® Corp has distributed a document the information of which they use to dissuade customers from purchasing QuietComfort-2^TM or QuietComfort-15^TM headphones for use with our product. The document is titled Customer Response to Questions on UFlyMike. Bose® claims the following:

~ No incoming audio will be heard with a discharged or improperly installed battery. This could result in the potential of missed communications while piloting an aircraft.

~ The UFlyMike product enables an external source to provide music playback... without muting or control of received aircraft radio or cockpit communications. This design may allow music to mask critical cockpit communications.

~ QC2^TM headphones are not engineered for the wide range of noise levels, altitude, temperature, EMI, and other environmental conditions aircraft pilots commonly experience, and which could interfere with critical cockpit communications.

10,000+ UFlyMike customers would disagree with those statements:

~ There are NO documented reports of battery power being an issue for pilots. It is a common task for pilots to properly operate equipment and monitor fuel, oil, oxygen and other finite resources.

~ There are NO documented reports of media inputs being an issue for pilots. Pilots are commonly tasked to monitor more than one audio input simultaneously, e.g., primary ATC control while monitoring the approach navaid ID; others monitor two to as many as five separate radios in civilian and military aircraft. Volume controls for the aircraft radios and any media input device are independently controlled when using the UFlyMike.

~ The QC-2^TM and The QC-15^TM headphones have BOTH passed laboratory TESTING for noise levels, altitude, rapid decompression, temperature, humidity, EMI, RMI and other environmental conditions. They are both TSO certified as components of the UFlyMike Aviation Headset.
