I have to concur. For the money you have to spend they are rock solid
and will give you a long service life.

Later on, if you end up flying a whole lot you will probably take a good
look at the Bose X.... but by then hopefully you can justify the cost.

Compared to the cost of flight training, the headset is quite minimal.
I would recommend you get a low-end headset ($150 range, such as Marv
Golden) to get you through the training. After your training you will
have a better idea of headsets and what features are important to you
and will be able to move up. It will also be a nice gift for yourself
when you pass the checkride. Then you can keep the first headset for
your passengers.

If you want something rock solid that'll never break, there are plenty of
"vanilla" headsets out there for $200 bucks that'll do the job.

If you want higher performance, particularly ANR, look at the Lightspeeds,
although they are not as robust as DC's.

I like Peltor non-ANR headsets. I had a set that I used for 10 years.
I replaced them with a Bose X a while back just because I could, but
even having experienced those I still like my old Peltor set.

Whatever you chose, remember that you can always
upgrade later (retaining your first set for a passenger or
selling it). In other words, don't agonize too much
over the purchase.

Good luck with your training.

Speaking of headsets...

Does anyone here have any experience with the Lightspeed Thirty-3g/p?
That /p at the end means it's the panel powered version. It costs about
a hundred bucks more, but I think it's worth it if it means I don't
have to fuss with batteries. I can't find a review anywhere on the net
comparing the panel version with the non-panel version.

David Clark may be the defining headset but I don't find them worth the
extra money. I borrow a set occasionally becuase the hyped press gets my
interest renewed. In the end, I stay with my Sigtronics.

I find the Sigtronics to be a good value for the money - both passive and
ANR. I've had a pair of S-65's (passive) for about 8 years and a S-AR for
about 4 years. I just ordered replacement pads and windscreen because they
started disintegrating from use.

The major problem with the Lightspeeds is they can't be used in the co-pilot
position. So along with being delicate, even a flight instructor would have
to fight the cords.

David Clark recognized this.
