I find I have to have headset volume at max to pick-up instructions from the tower--yes I did adjust the aircraft radio volume. I am a student and this headset performed poorly on all three Cessnas I fly. Additionally, the headset does not sit securely on my head, it falls off when I look down--yes I have it adjusted properly. Also the headset is very bulky around the ears Overall, very dissatisfied with the purchase. I bought this under direct recommendation of Sportys.

Durability5 / 5Reliability5 / 5Performance5 / 5Ease Of Use4 / 5Value4 / 5Would You Recommend?YesNice headset with a short mic boomGood sound, features, comfort. Only issue I have is with mic boom length, which I cannot get directly in front of my mouth when positioned as I normally do with other headsets I've used (D. Clark, ASA). I have to scoot the headset forward a little bit on my head to get the mic into proper position. The limited length is further compounded with a thicker ear seal, which widens the headset. Probably not an issue at all with smaller heads. I flew with it twice, had to reposition the headset to make the mic reliably work. But once in position, it was fine. Still, overall a very good product with great comfort and features that should work for most people. Recommend Faro increase the boom length by at least 1/2 inch, maybe more.Faro has shorter boom than ASA by 1/2" which might be an issue for some people with wider heads- Was this review helpful?

Durability5 / 5Reliability5 / 5Performance5 / 5Ease Of Use5 / 5Value5 / 5Would You Recommend?YesPerfect for a student pilotI am a student pilot that was paying $5 each flight for a house headset. The problem I had was that the headsets at the flight school were really old and half of the time they didn't work. Mixed with that the fact that I didn't know who had worn that specific headset before gave me the hibby-gibbies.
So I went shopping for something that isn't too fancy and would get the job done. At $200 this headset is perfect. First they are mine so I don't have to worry about the hygiene aspect. Secondly, they actually work and are actually comfortable to wear. Sound quality is perfect and the PNR cuts out a huge amount of the cockpit noise. I can't compare it to Faro's ANR headset since I haven't used it, but I am definitely happy with my purchase. Would definitely recommend to beginner pilots.- Was this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0)
