PilotMall.com Sound Silencer ANR Aviation Headset

I have about 12 hours using this headset and for the price I could not be happier! The ANR is pretty dang good for a headset at this price point. Yes, it uses an older style technology where you have a box on a third cord that runs on a 9V battery, but it does work in the "auto" mode coming on with the aviation master switch without issue in my DA-20 trainer plane. It also has an additional aux cord that can be plugged into one of the earphones to facilitate music or phone calls from your smart phone. Again an older style setup, but for the new student pilot is definitely a solid choice at a great price.

This is very nice headset that has lots of volume. Works good in noisy environments. The ANR does cut out the lower frequency sounds but not the higher frequency ones. Also, the ANR circuitry is in a separate little cheap plastic box along with the battery, not disclosed in the pictures. Just another poorly designed thing to float around the cockpit. I'm very unhappy about that. It could have been built into the head band.

This headset arrived in good working order and appears to be reasonably well built. The ANR function works for the lower frequencies which is nice. It's not world beating ANR, but it does work and is very welcome in my Ran's S-12 with Rotax 912. My transmissions are reported clear and slightly weak (may be due to radio or intercom). Comfortable and fairly light. Microphone stays put. Having a 3rd plug for the ANR and a separate ANR box is a bit of a drag, but once setup and in place seems to be fine. I could not get the "auto" ANR function to work but it's fine in "ON". Only downside is that if I forget to turn it back to Auto I will lose a 9v battery. So far so good.

Very satisfied! Great headset for the price.

Too early to tell how they will hold up, but headsets are comfortable and have good noise reduction features. I like the 9 Volt battery as they seem to last longer than the two AAs in my LightSpeed Zulus. Time will tell how they hold up, but so far, very satisfied with very good headsets at 1/3 the price of brand names.
