Need help in deciding in good headset

My advice is to rent from your flight school for the first few lessons.
And rent all of the different types that they have - see what you like.
Then, before we can advise you on what to buy, we need to know your
intentions.
Are you aiming for a PPL and plan to own your own aircraft?
Or are you planning to fly for an airline?
Or . . .

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

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

David Clark headsets are bullet proof and they stand behind their product.
I have had many different headsets over the years but have always come
back to my DC's. My current inventory is 3 adult DC's and 2 youth DC's.
My oldest pair is from 1985 an it still works as good as it did the day I
bought it.
Unless your rich it does not make sense to buy a cheap pair while
training to upgrade later.
Does your local pilot shop do loaners?
The pilot shop at KORL would normally loan you a set so that you could
decide on which pair you wanted to buy.
I don't know if they still do this, but your local shop may have a similar
policy.
Another thing to keep in mind is not to place any permanent markings on it
if you plan on selling them at a later time to upgrade to something else.
Have you considered buying a set from a reputable EBay seller?
Most DC's can be bought an resold on EBay for little or no lose of money.

Lightspeed QFR XCc or its derivatives branded to pilot shops, e.g. at

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.

Pick up a used DC H10-40 somewhere for cheap and put in the noise cancelling
from Headsets, Inc. I have a set I did that to 15 years ago, still works
great!
