I have a pair of David Clarks H10 13.4's that I used for fixed wing but as Im moving to heli I have to get an adaptor. Flying on an R44, what adaptor do i need? Ive heard something about a NATO connection and I think a J135 connection? I know Im not giving you much to go on but thats all I have.

R44s have US NATO sockets. (There are two types of NATOs - Euro and US).
You should be able to get converter leads from a place like flightstore or any other decent pilot shop.
Not certain about your DCs. Getting a mid-priced proper helicopter ANR headset like the Peltor might be wise. No converter leads needed - very comfortable and robust. Other than the v expensive Bose, Peltor seems to be the headset of choice in most 44s.
You say you have a pair of DCs. So what will the other two seats in the 44 get ?

Not to be smart but i couldnt care waht anyone else uses. Its a training helo. I have my own DC's and want to get an adaptor. They are perfect, hardly ever used. I dont fancy having to buy a new pair just for the sake of a lead.
