Hi all.
I'm in need of some information and advice please.

I recently just bought a new Bose X headset. After just two days I sent it back for reasons I will explain below and had a replacement sent out which I'm still not happy with.....

The problem is that with all incoming RT communications there is a constant background crackling (sounds like static crackling), or possible distortion.
All internal communication in the aircraft is perfect....only incoming RT affected.
The aircraft in question is a Boeing 737 and headset is the straight cord battery powered version.

Has anyone else here who owns or uses a Bose X had similar problems??? A friend of mine in the same company says his is crystal clear all the time (although I haven't had the opportunity to try his for comparison)

Any info would be great...
thanks in advance

Sounds simple but does it crackle in just the one 737 or have you tried varients?

I only have access to one variant. Shouldn't make a difference as most of the NG 737's have exactly the same kit.

As for other aircraft types, I haven't had time to try yet..... but other people use bose headsets at work with me and don't have this problem. odd.
