Which headset do you use?
I got my headset when I first started flying years ago. I didn't really care at the time if it was nice or not. Now that it's sat on my head for 1000ish hours I'm starting to hate putting it on every day. So, which ones do you all use out there? I was thinking this one....The ANR one The Pilot Shop - FlightCom Denali Headsets
Any suggestions?!?! |
I use the Bose Aviation X. First I ever put on, and last (I hope) =)
|
Have owned a few headsets, Boses all the way!
|
Bose X is my second set. The other day I forgot them at home and had to put borrow a cheap pair from the flight school and I will never forget my Bose again. David Carks as my first pair... Not too bad for the first hour, but I don't think i'll use anything besides my Bose unless something better comes out
|
I have heard wonderful things about the Bose x and the lightspeed zulu's unfortunatly Im stuck with my DC headsqueezers till I can afford either of the aformentoned sets.....:cool:
|
I had a set of the flightcom denali non anr. The microphone on this thing is probably the best on the market. I even had ATC at different airports ask me what headset i was using a couple times. This is nice for your instructor, but not the number one thing about a headset.
Above all, this is not the most comfortable headset on the block. Especially with the ANR version, there is no reason to clamp it on, but these do. Ok for a short flight, but nothing above 1 hr. I'd get many others on the market before this one...X's X11's, Zulu's. |
I'm looking for the most comfortable. I can't really get worse than I have now.(ASA) They are very heavy. The Bose is a touch out of my CFI budget. Thanks for the help!

In my search for "Headset Nirvana" I've tried many, the Bose X was pretty good but I have been very impressed with the "Clearly Aloft" "in ear" headset. You don't know you're wearing it. I got it at Sporty's, they'll let you try it for a couple months and return it if it's not for you.
If you don't mind an in ear type headset, you should like this. Link:Clarity Aloft™ Aviation Headsets Site |
I love my Lightspeed 20XLc.
ANR is great and it has cellphone/ipod input too. Marv Goldman has them for $385.00 |
If your just working off of a CFI salary, I would suggest getting a cheaper but still descent ANR headset, it's worth the extra money.
