I suggest buying a set of used David Clarks. They are the most durable, and repairable headset out there. You don't need fancy noise cancelling at this point in your flying, they're nice, but that's several hours of flying you're spending for a little more comfort, leave that until later. I recommend the gel ear muffs for the DC headset, they are the most comfortable. The head clamping force can be adjusted by bending the head band, but some clamping force is better for a better noise seal around the ears. I still have and use the first DC 10-30 headset I bought new in 1983, they last forever. There are probably lots of choices on eBay or similar.
