Fone de ouvido de aviação mono David Clark H10-13.4 40411G-01

Does the David Clark H10-13.4 have Active Noise Reduction, Bluetooth, or an aux input?

No. The H10-13.4 is a passive headset, so it reduces sound through cushioned gel ear seals rather than electronics, and it has no Bluetooth or auxiliary audio input. It carries a passive Noise Reduction Rating of 23 decibels to help shield against engine and wind noise. If you want electronic noise cancelation, consider one of David Clark's ANR models instead.

Does the David Clark H10-13.4 need batteries or aircraft power?

No. The H10-13.4 is a passive headset, so it does not use batteries and does not draw power from the aircraft. It blocks engine and wind noise with cushioned gel ear seals rather than electronics, giving it a passive Noise Reduction Rating of 23 decibels. Because there is nothing to charge or replace, it is ready to fly right out of the box.

What microphone and noise reduction does the H10-13.4 use?

It uses David Clark's M-7A amplified electret noise-canceling microphone, designed to deliver clear voice transmission even in loud cockpits. For hearing protection it provides a passive Noise Reduction Rating of 23 decibels against engine and wind noise. Together these help keep both incoming and outgoing radio communication clear throughout your flight.

How much does the H10-13.4 weigh and is it comfortable for long flights?

The H10-13.4 weighs about 16.5 ounces without the cord assembly, making it one of David Clark's lighter passive headsets. That light weight pairs with a memory foam headpad and contoured gel ear seals to relieve pressure and reduce fatigue, which is why many pilots find it comfortable for long training flights and cross country legs.

What is the difference between the mono H10-13.4 and the stereo H10-13S?

The H10-13.4 is the mono version, sending the same audio to both ear domes and suiting aircraft with a standard single-channel audio panel. The stereo H10-13S routes separate audio for dual-channel stereo panels. For talking with ATC or your instructor the experience is the same, so most trainer aircraft pair well with the mono version.

What plug configuration does the H10-13.4 use, and will it fit my aircraft?

The H10-13.4 is configured for a standard general aviation audio panel rather than helicopter, panel-powered, or other specialized jacks. Connector layouts vary by aircraft, so please confirm your audio panel and jack type before ordering. If you are unsure, contact our team and we can help you match the right configuration.

Is the H10-13.4 a good headset for student pilots?

Yes. The H10-13.4 is a frequent recommendation for new pilots, valued for its comfort, durable build, and clear communication. It is one of the most widely used training headsets in general aviation. With a 4.89 average across 96 reviews, buyers consistently praise the comfortable fit and clear cockpit audio on early flights.

Is the H10-13.4 FAA approved, and what warranty does it carry?

Yes. It is an FAA TSO-approved headset, meeting aviation standards for headsets and microphones, so it is suitable for use in certificated aircraft. David Clark backs it with their legendary five-year warranty, reflecting the durability that has made this model a cockpit staple for decades. Warranty service is handled directly by David Clark.

How does the H10-13.4 compare to the ANR H10-13X?

The H10-13.4 is fully passive and uses cushioned gel ear seals alone for its 23 decibel Noise Reduction Rating, with no batteries or electronics. The H10-13X is the active noise reduction version of the same platform and adds powered cancelation. Choose the passive H10-13.4 for simplicity and value, or step up to an ANR model if you want electronic quieting.

Can the ear seals and headpad on the H10-13.4 be serviced or replaced?

Yes. The gel ear seals and memory foam headpad are wearable comfort parts that can be refreshed over years of use rather than replacing the whole headset. This serviceability, paired with the five-year warranty, is a big reason the model stays in cockpits for decades. For genuine replacement parts, contact our team or David Clark directly.
