Default Need help in deciding in good headset

Dear sir,
I m starting my flight training very soon.

I need some help in deciding a wersatile headset.
my budget is 300 $

Thank u very much..


I have thousands of hours teaching and have flown with many different
headsets.
about a 3rd of my teaching has been in noise aircraft such as Aeronca
Champs.

I have had 2 major issues with headsets.

1. Poor Noise Canceling of microphone
This can and usually is the big one, one headset with a poor
microphone cause it to be very difficult to set the squelch on the
intercom, even in relatively quiet aircraft. In noisy aircraft it can
be totally unacceptable and I have had many students buy headsets try
thema nd return them for this issue. I have never had a problem with
Flightcom Headsets or David Clark headset. I am sure other brand are
good but have not noted a consistant quality with other brands.

2. Poor Durablity.

The Flightcom are the best value for cost concious pilots in my
opinion, but the will wear out. The David Clarks on the other hand I
have yet to wear a set out, if you are planning on flying a lot or for
a long time I don't think you can go wrong the DC's.

I am sure there are other good headsets these are just the ones that
have got my attention so far. Of course the Noise cancelling is nice,
but usually expensive, I really don't normally notice that much
difference between the Bose or DC except in especially noisy aircraft.
