Sennheiser HME 110 Special Edition
Ace of Spades,
I am in the same plane as you so to speak. Started out on my PPL, and bought a headset before I started. Having used DC 13.4 I did not feel that they were comofrtable, and the older ones you get in clubs dont seem to be the best.
I bought the Sennheiser HME 110 Special Edition ones, and they are
1. Very very comfortable
2. Great sound quality, even in a noisey SEP
3. While they are almost at the top of the price range for PNR Headsets, I think they are a good investment.
Even if you only using the headset for all your training, it works out at not far off £1 per hour, and you will probably sell them for half the price you paid for them when your training is finished, if you were going on to become a professional pilot, and you could then get an ARN set.
I was advised to get a PNR set, while training, as they provide adequate protection during training and even beyond.
PM me on where to get a set as I shopped around and read countless reviews about DC 13.4 and HME 110's. Also, there is one site that you will get a whole bunch of extras with your headset which in itself is great.
