[quote=fjetter;693153]I would recommend getting a good GA headset and worry about a jet compatible headset when you get hired to fly that equipment. If you're a CFI now you know how uncomfortable a traditional DC esque headset can get after a long day. I would recommend either the Bose or Lightspeed Zulu. I recently purchased a Bose earlier this year using their 0% financing ($83 a month/12months). By far the best investment I have made.
I reitterate fjetter's post.
For pistons, invest the money, its worth it over time.
Once your operating turbine platforms, clarity aloft and others mentioned are something you can't go wrong with.
However, look here as well. I understand these are impressive. Best of luck.

Custom Molds for Clarity Aloft

I had some Halos- not recommended over Claritys for piston use. I would spend the extra couple bills for Clarity Aloft before getting another pair. The wires were prone to getting dislodged which greatly interferes with the noise reduction because it has to have perfect ear fit to work. Also putting them on is a 5 minute affair, too much fuss.

The band is adjustable but requires considerable force to reshape it.
The whole headset is built tough even though it looks fragile.
I used to wear it for 8 leg days in a turboprop, I wouldn't want any other.
If you're worried about TSO get the TSO'd Clarity Aloft.

AGREED! I don't know what some people do to make this headset uncomfortable, or for that matter....less effective than a Bose. I fly pistons, Turboprops, and jets, and I fully believe I get much better hearing protection with the CA than my company Bose headset (info from their respective companies agrees with me). The earpiece replacement turns out to be nearly the exact same price as batteries for the Bose.
