WHoooaaaaahhh chaps.
This chap is learning to fly and he is being recommended to buy ANR headsets or "the best he can afford".
Listen up Micra Man, save your shillings for learning to fly, don't get caught up in all the "gadgetry/image" crap just yet. I learned to fly from the best place (just west of Andover) and was reliably instructed to wait until I really knew what I wanted from accessories before I bought them.
The headsets I used were probably used by Noah and Nelly on the arc but they worked and my 1.5 hr X-countries didn't warrant £300 being spent on gadgets.
No doubt there'll be a flare up in true ppruners style over my comments but "flash gadgets don't make you fly any better".
