I love my DC 13.4, after 2 years it has been a great companion. Hmm...perhaps after the instrument rating I should reward myself (or make my parents buy me) a Zulu. Sounds good to me! To the OP, I think the Zulu (or the Bose) are great headsets. But, there is no need to spend a lot of $ if you are a primary student. Get a decent (like a DC) one for now and upgrade later. Just my .2
