David Clark H10-13S Stereo Aviation Headset 40422G-01

Does the H10-13S work in stereo, switch to mono, and have separate volume controls for each cup?

The H10-13S is a dedicated stereo headset with dual volume controls, so you can set the left and right ear cups independently and balance air traffic control, intercom, and entertainment audio. Before flying, confirm your aircraft audio panel matches a stereo setup so sound reaches both cups. For a mono panel, check compatibility or consider the mono version of this David Clark model.

What is the difference between the H10-13S and a mono David Clark headset like the 13.4?

The main difference is audio configuration. The H10-13S is the stereo version with dual volume controls, giving left and right separation from a stereo intercom or panel source. A mono headset sends the same signal to both ears. Otherwise the H10-13S keeps the lightweight passive design, 23 dB Noise Reduction Rating, gel-filled ear seals, and amplified microphone David Clark is known for.

Does the H10-13S have Active Noise Reduction or Bluetooth?

No. The H10-13S is a passive headset, so it reduces noise through its physical design rather than electronic Active Noise Reduction, and it does not include Bluetooth or an auxiliary audio input. It carries a 23 dB Noise Reduction Rating from its gel-filled ear seals and cushioned headband, with no batteries to charge or replace.

What is the Noise Reduction Rating and how much does the H10-13S weigh?

The H10-13S carries a 23 dB Noise Reduction Rating, attenuating cockpit noise through its passive design, gel-filled ear seals, and cushioned headband. It weighs about 17 ounces, making it light enough for long training flights. The lightweight build paired with the double-foam head pad helps keep the headset comfortable across extended sessions in the cockpit.

What kind of microphone does the H10-13S use?

The H10-13S uses an amplified aviation microphone designed to keep your transmissions clear in loud cockpits. It is mounted on a flexible boom with a water-resistant design, so you can position it close to your mouth. This helps keep instructor and student communication clear on the radio and intercom during noisy general aviation flights.

What plugs does the H10-13S use and will it fit my aircraft?

The H10-13S is built for general aviation use and fits most fixed-wing training and personal aircraft audio panels. Connector styles can vary between airframes, so before you fly, confirm that the headset plugs match your panel. If your aircraft uses a different connector, such as a helicopter or panel-powered style, you may need a compatible adapter.

Is the David Clark H10-13S TSO approved?

Yes. According to the product specification, the H10-13S is TSO approved, which is one reason it is trusted across general aviation and professional flight environments. TSO approval reflects that a headset meets recognized performance standards for aviation use. For the specific standards that apply, check the David Clark documentation included with your headset.

Is the H10-13S a good headset for student pilots?

Yes. It is a popular training choice because it is lightweight at about 17 ounces, comfortable for long sessions thanks to gel-filled ear seals and a double-foam head pad, and built with David Clark durability. Dual volume controls let you balance each ear, and the amplified aviation microphone keeps instructor and student communication clear in noisy cockpits.

What is included with the H10-13S, and does it come with a bag?

The H10-13S ships ready to fly with its ear seals, microphone cover, and head pad installed, plus the attached cord. A carrying bag is not included with this base headset by default. If you want a protective bag, you can add one separately or choose the David Clark H10-13S headset and bag combo offered as its own listing.

Can I replace the ear seals and soft goods on the H10-13S?

Yes. The H10-13S uses David Clark H10 series soft goods, so the gel ear seals, head pad, and microphone cover are replaceable as they wear over time. Refreshing these parts restores comfort and seal without buying a new headset. Confirm you are choosing parts listed for the David Clark H10 series so they fit your headset correctly.

What warranty comes with the David Clark H10-13S?
