Best headset for beginner/student pilot?

Hello all. I will have the great opportunity to commence my PPL studies at my local aeroclub this summer, however one problem I have been facing is the issue of a headset... I don't want to spend over £200 as I would like to invest in a GoPro camera too, to document my flying lessons and my progress.

Would anyone recommend this headset? Or does it have to be Sennheiser/Bose, because the prices for me are striking, however you could argue it's a lifelong investment.
Pilot PA17-72T ANR Headset by 'Pilot Communications' from Flightstore.co.uk
OR
ASA HS-1 Passive Headset by 'Aviation Supplies & Academics' from Flightstore.co.uk

Reading online I have realized ANRs are better as they protect your hearing, however the last one is extremely cheap, and I guess it has no noise cancellation at all? Thanks in advance for your advice
