H10-13.4 Aviation Headset

I went from a pair of Avcom headsets that were good for the price. The David Clark H10's are very comfortable, do not clamp down uncomfortably on your head, and overall do a okay job at noise cancellation. These are an excellent starting pair or second pair if you do not want to spend more money for A20's or Zulu 3's. These will not disappoint! The overall construction is sturdy and comfortable, it is fairly ergonomic, and the audio quality is much better then of the previous pair I was using; assuming you have a decent radio in the aircraft to begin with. I spent about 7 or 8 months before deciding to purchase them, and I regret not buying these sooner. If your just getting into your training, do yourself a favor and spend an extra couple dollars on this pair, it (feels like) it will last you for years and not leave you sore after longer cross country flights. Spend the extra few bucks now, you won't regret it.

just as the famous brand name promised, it works very well so far!

The product is good and a good value. The problem is in the shipping. Mine was sent to me using the USPS. This is a mistake, and the company should use a different one. Mine arrived several days late and significantly after the day promised.

I’m a student pilot, today was my first day of flying 1/7/20. I went back and forth between getting an ANR headset or a traditional non ANR headset. I ended up going with David Clark H10-13.4. I can not be happier with my choice. The DC are very comfortable, are built extremely well (made in USA), reduces noise to a good level, and perform well. I am able to hear the instructor, ATC, and other aircraft clearly. I did not get any uncomfortable side pressure from the headset. Very happy with the product. DC has an excellent reputation in the industry and they come with a 5 year warranty. 4 of the 6 instructors at the flight school use the DC products as does my instructor. I highly recommend the product. You will probably need to purchase a case for the headset I am just putting them in my flight bag for now. Aircraft that I fly in is a 172 with glass cockpit.

Bought them for my son for his first flights in training, I had used them also for my flights, very dependable and tough headsets, hope my son will enjoy them too

These are great for a student pilot going through their Private Pilot. These headsets work perfectly in a Cessna172. Unfortunately, I bought these used (around $249 + $5 for shipping). This did not come with a comfort gel head pad and microphone cover that usually comes with the headset. That's okay, it is only about $36 for the comfort gel head pad. I don't mind spending a little more to get more comfort, but make sure the seller gives you everything that comes with those headsets. Other than that, these are really good headsets for student pilots.

This was the first aviation headset that I got when working on my private pilot's license and I'm sure that this headset will last me for the next decade of my aviation adventures. First off, these things scream build quality. Seriously. They're built even more solidly than the Cessna 172 you're flying. I have no doubt that they will outlast the warranty. Other than durability? Sound quality and comfort matter. The sound quality is about as good as I could imagine for headset without active noise canceling; the large ear cups block out a large amount of noise and I have had no problems hearing anything with these. And comfort is good. After a long cross country, the weight of these can start to bug you, but I have no problem wearing these for three hours. In the price range, I'm convinced that there is no better headset. If you want to spend $1000, go for the Bose noise canceling headphones. If you want to spend $175, do yourself a favor and just spend the extra for these. You'll be happy you did.

Headset is very comfortable and a great option for student pilot or others that don't want to spend $1,000+ on a headset. Works well when using with hats that have a button on top. The head cushion is designed in two parts that allows the hat head button to fit nicely between the two sections. The ear pads are very comfortable and do a great jobs of eliminating ambient noise. Highly recommended.
