Don't buy cheap. Buy quality, buy once.

Buy Peltor.

I bought my Peltor headset nine years ago and although now I could
easily afford to buy myself any headset on the market (including the
Bose X) I don't bother because my Peltor still works just fine. I wore
it for four hours just the other day with a fancy Clarity Aloft headset
(for my wife when she's along) sitting in my flight bag. My Peltor is
so comfortable it wasn't even worth the bother to dig the fancy set out
of the bag.

I can second this recommendation for passive headsets. However, like the
person who started a different headset-related thread, my experience with
their ANR headsets has not been stellar.

The passive headsets are extremely comfortable, have very good noise
attenuation, and fold up nice and small. For passive, it's hard for me to
imagine something that could be better.

Before you do that, you might want to read the thread started by the guy who
just got an estimate of $700+ for repairs on his.

I should have been more explicit: buy Peltor non-ANR.

Ron,

buy Peltor non-ANR.


Going back to the stone age? Why?
