BlueRobin's Top Tip
Sadly many people quit flying soon after gaining their PPL. This means there is a potential market out there of people wanting to sell their kit. This includes that nice DC13.4 which comes with a 5 year transferrable warranty and is a good starter headset for anyone. Check your airfield/club noticeboards for ads, fleabay too and you can pick one up for under £150 fersure. This I think is where you are looking toward in terms of price and value?
IF you can afford ANR, get a set or have the 13.4 converted at a later stage when you know you have committed to flying. Ear fatigue is noticeable after a stressful session in the 'pit. Your hearing is also a valuable sense.
The new DC X11 ANR is nearly £200 cheaper than the Bose and are equal contnders in my book.

I use Sennheiser HME100, which are about £140. They are very comfortable, have good (passive) noise attenuation and good sound quality. I have tried Peltor headsets, but didn't really like them.
