The problem I was troubleshooting on a 727 about ten years ago was "Crackling and static on interphones happening intermittently throughout flight." It happened chronically, but also only about once or twice a week and there was a lot of focus on it. New Years Eve, while everyone was ringing in the New Year, I was trying to figure out what was wrong and it was about -5 outside. I wasted my entire night only to find out later that the guy who kept writing it up was using his own personal headsets. | |

| Sep 8, 2017 at 13:24 | comment | added | user18035 | So impedance is the issue? Is there more to it? Just out of academic interest! Thanks. | |

If there were adverse effects, it would mostly be because of impedance matching issues as explained previously. The chief problem is that whenever you have a gripe about the audio system, I cannot effectively rule out YOUR headsets as part of the problem. Frankly, it's inconsiderate and rude to throw an unknown variable into the equation; leaving your A&P to work out in the elements during a holiday or kid's birthday only to find out that it was your PC headset causing the problem. DON'T DO THAT. | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 7:58 | comment | added | user18035 | This is the argument I'm looking for! Why do you say that a PC headset ruins the audio system? How does it differ from an aviation headset in that aspect? | |
