Any recommendations on headsets ?
Would anyone out there have a tip on these ?.
Just started a syndicate and need to buy 4 headsets. Probably one decent one for P1, one OK for P2 and a couple of kiddie sets.
Amazed to find you could spend anything from £ 100 to £ 1000 per set !.
Questions -
1/ How important is weight really - Will I really notice 13 oz from 16 oz (etc).
2/ Comfort - I'm told gel earcups are a must - also they fit well around glasses ...
3/ Headband - obviously needs to be easily adjustable - any views on sheepskin etc
4/ Electronic Noise Cancellation - Very expensive and I imagine essential for helicopters - but for a quiet light aircraft is it really needed ?.
5/ Any numbers to look for - decibel reductions on earphones, sensitivity of microphone ...
6/ Is there a secondhand market for this sort of equipment (missed Cranfield !) any web sites ?.
7/ A friend has imported from the USA - prices seem better there - any comments ?.
Thanks
