I am a student pilot, and am about to buy a headset. I am thinking about
probably getting a David Clark, they seem to be pretty good quality,
however, i don't want to spend more on my headset than on my training.
Anyone have any suggestions as to good brands that are not outrageoulsy
expensive. Thanks



Rental headsets Yuck!!!!!! It's like wearing somone elses hat and using
their mouth guard. Buy yourself a decent well built headset, I don't think
you will spend more on a headset than your training it will be a very minor
cost that will last you a long time.

Ask yourself how much is your hearing worth to you? How much is comfort
worth? Do you want to get sick?

Yes, Bad germs live on mike muffs and people put them to their lips and spit
when they talk. They also sweat on the ear seals. Hell if someone has head
head bugs "lice" the rental headpad is a breeding ground for that.
