Do you want a headset that is totally silent? Not possible unless the noise
reduction is shaped specifically to your plane's acoustical signature. That
will cost you thousands of dollars.

This might help you decide.

Also, try one of these if you want to adjust the sound quality of your
passive headset. They'll require use of plug adaptors and a stereo to mono
converter. Use with ANR headsets may bring undesirable results but you
might try these anyway to experiment.

Hello,

I'm looking for an headset.
I've tryed an Lightspeed 20XL in an Motor Glider
and couldn't find it that silent I espect.
I tryed the good Quality passive Headset of the
other pilot and couldn't find it noticeable louder,
he tested mine and had the same opinion.
The cockpit communication sounded bether with
the Lightspeed but without ANR the Lightspeed
was louder.
I have no change to compare much headsets, has
somebody done?
I've also red some reviews in the net, but found
no real comparison.
