Default Headset Advice

Ok everyone...

I have to bite the bullet and buy a descent headset. What do you reccommend? The Lightspeed is a bad mutha, but probation pay is not going to allow $500 toward a headset.

What's the best under $300 model that includes the custom ear mold? I am looking for the 1 sided airliner model....

I use the Telex Airman 750SS and love it. It is just over $200 and is a great headset for the price. Here is a link:

I've been wearing a Telex Airman 750 in Citations for the past 15 years. I'd buy another.

I'm on my second Telex 750. It's a good headset. The first one lasted 10 years before giving me any problems. I got the replacement on ebay for about $100 (new).

What is a great headset for Airbus 319 - 321 ?

I consider headsets to be an investment in QOL so price is not much of a concern.
