David Clark Aviation Headsets

David Clark has built pilot headsets in Worcester, Massachusetts since the 1970s, and the company has supplied aviation and military communication gear since World War II. The familiar pale green ear cups are a fixture on flight school ramps because they pair rugged construction with a 5-year warranty and replacement parts that stay available for decades. This collection covers the full lineup, from the passive H10 series that generations of students learned on to the lightweight DC ONE-X and Pro-X2 with hybrid active noise reduction and Bluetooth. Pilot Mall is an authorized David Clark dealer, so every headset here carries the full factory warranty.

Passive vs. Active Noise Reduction

Passive Noise Reduction (PNR)

Passive headsets like the H10-13.4, H10-13S, and H10-30 block sound through the physical seal of the ear cups and the density of the dome. They need no batteries, are the most affordable way into a quality David Clark, and stand up to years of student wear, which is why they remain the standard in training fleets. The H10-30 delivers 24 dB of passive attenuation for the loudest piston cockpits.

Active Noise Reduction (ANR)

ANR models such as the H10-13X, DC ONE-X, and Pro-X2 add electronics that cancel low-frequency engine drone on top of the passive seal, producing a noticeably quieter cockpit on long flights. The DC ONE-X and Pro-X2 use hybrid ANR and add Bluetooth for music and phone calls. Browse the full aviation headsets range to compare David Clark against every brand we carry.

How to Choose the Right David Clark Headset

Match the model to your cockpit and how you fly. If you are a student or fly rental aircraft, the passive H10-13.4 mono is the proven, budget-friendly choice. If your intercom is stereo or you want music, step up to the H10-13S. For loud pistons or warbirds, the H10-30 maximizes passive attenuation. If you want your first ANR headset without leaving the familiar H10 design, choose the H10-13X. For professional flying and long cross-country legs where comfort and Bluetooth matter, the DC ONE-X and Pro-X2 are the lightweight ANR flagships. Keep any headset performing with genuine headset accessories and replacement ear seals, and round out the cockpit with the right radios and GPS.
