You have to go try on the headsets. It's the only way to tell the right one for
you. Ideally go fly with one, to see how it works for real. To me, buying a
headset is personal, like clothes or stereo's. I wear jeans or shorts almost all
of the time, but I know people who don't own either.

I had a sergeant (who is an audiophile) tell my once you can't go by the spec's.
You have to go listen to them (stereo's). If you can't tell the different
between a $200 stereo and $1000 stereo, save yourself 800 bucks.

Go try the headset on and fly them. If the dealer won't let you, try borrowing
some from friends.

Going back to my initial request I'm looking for a reasonable cost
headset and would appreciate helpful good and bad points as were
originally made.

I think I prefer Gel earseals but I see 'Pilot, PA-1171T' say
leatherette soft seals - what is that and how do they compare?
