Sennheiser's S1!

I have seen a couple nice looking Sennheiser headsets... Tried one that was horribly uncomfortable.
They certainly are an established company in their business...
I guess they couldn't make aviation work.

You can still find them places new, get one before they disappear. Sooo good!

Yeah, totally want to buy a plastic headset they don't make or support anymore...

Get a DC and forget about it...

AKG AV100, Bose quality level and the sleekest looking headset on the market.

I would highly recommend the Bose A20. Extremely comfortable and well worth the investment.

This December will be 5 years with them. Over the summer I adjusted my seat in the cockpit which inadvertently bent the microphone jack (cord was caught in my seat). Threshold Aviation referred me to Brant Aero, who is the authorized repair shop for Canada. Dropped them off and had it returned to me 24 hours later. Completely refurbished headset (ear muffs, microphone, pads, etc) which even came with the new control assembly (bluetooth). In the case was a bill for $625, all covered under warranty. Great customer service from Bose and Brant Aero!

Sennheiser supports the headset. And will, as long as the company is around. My brother in-law is in the music industry and they service his 10+ year old shit.

The Senn S1 is the best headset bar none. It was just too bulky for my liking. (and many others given they are pulling out of the market)

Let your balls drop, put some hair on your chest, crack a beer open, log on to spruce and order a pair of H10-13.4. Noise cancelling is for yellow bellies.

Try on a bunch before you buy. Find ones that fit your head comfortably. The Bose A20 felt like heaven compared to my Lightspeed, but others say the opposite.

DC H10-13.4's are rock solid, but hurt my head after an hour. I have a pair for the backseat passengers.
