Headset comfort.
Hi Ianp83,
The thing you need to bear in mind is that whichever headset you buy, you need to be comfortable in it for perhaps 2 hours.
We all have different shaped heads and what one person finds comfortable, another will find to be an instrument of torture.
You can't assess the comfort of a headset in a few minutes. A headset that might be quite comfortable at first can gradually become unbearable by the end of an hour.
You need to be able to take whichever headset you buy home and wear it around the house for a couple of hours. If it is not comfortable at the end of that time, you need to be able to take it back and change it for a different one.
I doubt if you can do this with something you buy on eBay. For this reason, it is better to buy either from a pilot shop or from another pilot.
With a budget of £200, however, you should be able to get something decent from another pilot. Watch your club notice board and see what comes up.
Regards,
BP.
