What's the best for just a student pilot. Are there any tricks to
using them, keeping them safe, and pluging them in etc?

Thanks,

Chris,
Comfort in a headset if very important. I suggest you try on many
before you buy. Most FBOs will let you try (and use) before you buy.
Take advantage of this option, because I believe you will find that
the more confortable headsets are more pricey. Only after you know how
they feel on your head can you make a decision on whether the price is
worth the comfort level. For example, my Dave Clarks hurt my head
after just an hour or two of flying, but I can fly for more than 8
hours on a trip with my Bose and I don't even know I am wearing a
headset. For me the 3x greater cost of the Bose was worth the extra
money.
