Stephen,

I actually own a Flightcom Blackhawk 5DX


No offense, but that's not really a "good" headset. It's about as cheap
as you can go.


No offence taken Thomas :-)
I'm really please I asked the question, I'm on a steep learning curve here.
Seems I've been under a rock for awhile.

I was actually under the impression they weren't too bad, but hey if you've
never used anything else how would one know.
I bought them second hand on one of my rare visits to the "Pilots Shop". The
chap behind the counter couldn't believe I was flying without a headset, and
that was about 10 years ago ;-)

What are the key things that make a good headset?
