I only occasionally take passengers. It just seems that my schedule and
the schedules of people I know just don't mesh very well.

Having said that, I do occasionally have passengers with me. As such, I
am looking to buy a couple inexpensive headsets.

It seems that the Marv Golden headsets are the least expensive. Anyone
have any reports on these things? Do they stand up to the test of time?
Do they work well?

Aside from the Golden sets, what are the other good, inexpensive headsets?

TIA

I have a pair of those as a spare. Not bad for around $100. They fold up
real small, too, which is kinda neat.

Try Telex Echelon 100. I got it for $100 (don't remember where but if
you shop around online you should be able to find it at that price). I
haven't used them myself, but all my pax find them comfortable and
quiet.

I made a PIREP last week in rec.aviation.marketplace about those
cheap
"feather lite" headsets on ebay. I liked 'em so much I bought a
second one.
They're cheap and work well.

I'd recommend looking for some good used headsets for occasional use. I
bought
two pair of "kid size" headsets on eBay a few years ago. I forget the
brand,
but you'd recognize it. I paid $65 or so for both, and they do the job
just
fine.

I can add from personal experience that the manual that comes with the
product from this mom & pop shop will be easily understandable for the
the novice kit builder.

"kiddie" headset for $74. It comes in blue, grey, violet, and fuschia(sp).
The bad news is that it is a kit that you have to put together. The good
news is that it is a kit that you have to put together. You are the total
quality control of the product. If it ever craps out, you also know where
all the parts are and where to buy them.
But I can't remember their name for the life of me {;-0
