I remember when I was a student pilot I would use whatever school headset was available that day. I quickly learned that buying my own headset was the way to go. At that time I was already committed to being a pilot for a long time, so I am glad now that I bought a good headset at that time. I still use it to this day.

And all of my private was done in a 150... I guess 150's and 152's are all gone now?
