something to note about the journey to PPL, especially if you're only just starting it - many people begin the journey, few ever finish it. There are many reasons why people quit their training -some are to do with finances, others with weather, free time, interest, aptitude, health - you name it.. In Ireland, as the grapevine tells me, out of all students who take out their class 2 medicals, 1 out of 7 ever walk away with a licence and from that bunch there's another half who will never re-validate their licences (SEP ratings) after finishing their training.

So statistically speaking you are very likely to end up with a 1k worth of gear that you have only used couple of times and that has lost a good chunk it's value.

If money is no issue, by all means, go nuts. If money is an issue, I would rather borrow headsets for now up until a point where at least you go solo. if you continue your training after reaching your solo, statistically your chances with sticking with flying go up dramatically
