first headset for pilot-in-training
I am looking to buy my first headset. The training center has "public" headsets however for sanitary reasons I would like my own....I am kinda weird that way I guess!
I see that there are two basic types of headsets...the older, LARGE, rather bulky full-muff headsets and a more modern looking, much smaller headset that mainly covers just the ear itself and not half the head. Cost ignored, which one is better? I definitely want one with noise cancellation for flying in old 'pistons (even new jets are rather loud with all the electronics running as well as wind noise).
Does anybody have a headset recommendation for a student pilot? I say student cautiously...I am not the type who likes to buy things twice, I'd rather get one that I can use and be happy with well into the future as opposed to an entry-level set that ends of sitting in my closet a year from now after I buy a better one.
I assume that the sets available in Europe are pretty much the same as what we have in the US (?)
