Beware of Prune advice...
 
Some good advice here, but some of it....


And dont buy a cheap chinese import, get a DC, or if you are expecting rapid progression onto twins - something with ANR.
Flown a twin yet, Roxy? :hmm:

IMHO, it's very difficult to synch the props with ANRs. Sure, YOU wont hear a thing, but your pax wont be thanking you.

DIVOSH!

I prefer to use the auto-sync feature.

You should have been wearing the pink ones in the yellow cub, GWAS.. good contrast? :ok:

Tinpis, you've been downloading pics of me off of my facebook page again!! The stripes make the plane approximately 4% faster I find. I would recommend them to everyone!!

I'm not the fastest learner, but it only took me one lesson to decide there were some student pilots who had less than healthy habits, and they could keep their nits to themselves. Get a headset as soon as you can afford it.

Used ANR for a long time, and do the occasional bit of twin flying ... Never had any problem syncing props, or hearing engine/transmission noises, or any of the other things that people will say you can't do properly. ANR is gold, and you'll be glad you did when it's time for hearing tests

I have to agree, I actually find that you can hear differences in the sounds easier as the ANR has a small delay to the attenuation which only drowns out the droning noise. They allow you to hear minute clicks and pops from the engines you wouldn't normally hear.

I reckon the best time to get them is just after starting navs, 4 hours with a sh1tty pair do my head in.

As mentioned above, Hawker Pacific is the place to go. DC H10-13.4, DC headset bag and next day delivery go for around $460 inc GST.
