But your are now going to get a heap of posts telling you how good all the others are.
Or we can simply direct you to the search function of this forum. This topic comes along every other month or so, and the previous threads contain basically all you need to know.

Not that it will help you a lot in making a good choice though. There are simply too many to choose from and there's a lot of personal preference too. What it comes down to is first making a choice between ANR, PNR or in-ear headsets.

ANR: Expensive but it gives the best insulation against ambient sound (assuming the battery/power supply is not dead)
PNR: Cheap but less insulation. Good enough for a lot of pilots who fly <100 hours a year.
In-ear: Best insulation, some claim better than ANR. But it's a very personal choice and some people are not comfortable with them. Ideal for aerobatics due to the extreme light weight.

But from there, you will just have to try a few out and choose the one that you find most comfortable.
