Headsets
Hey all,
I am getting ready to buy a headset and i just wanted to get some opinions on which brand is the best quality. I am in the middle of my ppl but i want to buy one that will last, as i am trying to get all my ratings to fly for airline or corporate. Its seems that the most common brand is david clark. Any advice on which models or brands are the best would help out a lot. Thanks

I own a David Clark 13.4 with an aftermarket ANR conversion and a Bose X. For flying the King Airs nothing beats the Bose. It is lighter, quieter, and clearer than the David Clark. It is well worth the $1000. Remember that if this is going to be your career you have to wear that headset many hours every day. In pistons with mid to low noise the Bose is un-beatable also. The only place that I dont use the Bose is in my Pitts. That plane is so incredibly loud that the Bose simply shuts down because it cant handle that much noise. The David Clark has such great passive noise reduction that the active reduction is able to keep up and do its job. Both companies have great product support and are willing to back up their products with great service.

I thought the same thing when I was flying singles and even in the Bandit (twin turbo prop), but when I moved into the 310 and 402 my mind was changed. Those things are so un-godly loud you need ANR, and if I was going to spend some $$$ might as well do it right and get the best. I bought a set of Bose X's last year and I love them! They have good noise reduction, but on top of that they are the most comfortable headset out there. I often fly between 8-12hrs a day and the Bose never bother me abit, it's almost like your not wearing headsets. They are expensive, but they're worth it, plus they offer financing. I got 2 years 0% intrest when I bought mine through a Bose store, Plus I got a free Bose CD player and headphones.
They pick it up at your door and do not charge you for shipping or repair within 5 years, and in some cases, even longer.

I have the same thing, but it is only at certain airports (for me, CYS and ICT). I am thinking that the common denominator here is that both airports have major weather radar stations on/very near the field. A captain that I flew with the other day with David Clark ANR's said that he was hearing the exact same thing when we were in Cheyenne. What airport do you get the whelping?
