I'm just learning to fly and right now my instructor loans me his set but
i'd like to have my own.
I'd like to keep the expense to a $350 limit.
Can any of you give me a recommendation on...
- Features to look for
- Makes and Models
- Cheapest places to purchase

I used Dave Clark H10-13.4s for 12 years and loved them. Back in 2003 I
got the Headsets Inc ANR kit for them, and that made them even better.
But last year at Oshkosh I bought a pair of Quiet Technologies "Halos".

They're great. They're quiet and comfortable, and extremely light. It's
too bad they don't have a cell phone adaptor, but neither did my others.

I have one small complaint about them: I've burned through a bunch of the
foam ear tips because every time I loan them to somebody I use up a new
pair. And the web site has no information on getting new ear tips, and
every time I email them about how to get more ear tips they either say
"we're just about to go on vacation, contact us in two weeks", or they
ignore me completely. I suppose that when I run out of ear tips
completely that will stop being a small complaint and start being a major
peeve. But I've still got about 4 more pairs so as long as I don't loan
them out any more I'm set for a year or so.
