Headset Haiku
May 1, 2008 by Paul Richfield, Senior EditorI’m putting together a headset buyer’s guide for AOPA Online, and have found the vast profusion of brands and models to be impressive, if a little overwhelming. As such, I will now express my headset-related feelings in the form of Haiku, a type of traditional Japanese poetry. Typically, Haiku have three lines. The first line usually contains five syllables, the second line seven, and the third line five again.
Flexible mic boom
Hand adjustable knurled knobs
Three-year warranty

OK, Paul, you asked for it:
Head caught in vice grip,
Controllers talk, but only static,
Say again, Washington Center . . .

“And so there I was”
“On fire, out of gas and lost!”
“Hey, was that for us?”

Thousand bucks for this?
What’s that rumbling noise I hear?
Batteries are dead.

Paul, this is too much fun.
In-the-ear headsets
No clamping or headaches – ha!
Damn, my hair looks good.
