Have my first trip coming up in 2 weeks. How loud is the cockpit? I have a Telex 850 and an old DC headset. Which one would be better? @Dave Theisen you fly them right?
Headset for PC-12

You should be fine with the Telex 850. When I flew it I wore my lightspeeds, but they were overkill. Had the DC Pro-X that I use now existed back then, it would have been perfect for the PC-12.
Thanks!

I use Lightspeed Sierras in the PC12 and they're great.

For what a PC-12 sells for, they should be silent as a tomb inside.

Unfortunately not the case! Noise cancelling is nicer but you'll be just fine with a regular old pair of DCs if you have to, I use them all the time.

Cool airplane, take pics
I’ve never used 850‘s, but I think they will work fine.

They are loud, not as loud as a piston, but about 87 DBAs in the cockpit. A little higher on takeoff, you’ll appreciate the noise canceling headsets.;-)
