Great Headset
by Jeffery from Iraan TX USA
Pros: Comfortable, Quite, Input on Volume control for Cell Phone
Cons: Price
Review: I purchased the Clarity Aloft Headset to try and get away from the old head clamp. I fly a 1948 Cessna 170, so I wanted a headset that was comfortable and would provide some noise suppression. I work in high noise area and am accustomed to the soft foam hearing suppression devices, and was hoping that the soft inserts on the earpiece would be the same.
I was pleasantly suprised, comfortable and quite.

All the hush, none of the weight
by Zach from Omaha NE USA
Pros: Extremely light, professional look
Cons: Does not remove low pitched tones as some ANRs do
Review: I was skeptical at first but the passive noise cancelation is just as good as my light speeds. The clarity aloft cuts out just about the same noise level as most head sets. I absolute love the light weight. I flight instruct and the light weight is easy to carry to and from different aircraft and does not leave my head pounding after a full day of flying. The professional look really makes an impression as well. I would highly reccomended picking up a pair of these. If you really do not like them, you have the 30 return policy.

Simply Awesome
by A Customer from APO AE
Pros: lightweight, comfortable, quiet, MP3 jack
Cons: There is a lot of cord, a coiled cord would probably be better and cut down on clutter. The control box could be moved further away from the plugs - it frequently gets stuck between the seat and side of the cockpit
Review: I'm currently flying a King Air and bought this headset to replace my DC's. After 6hr+ missions the DCs were giving me bad headaches and were just heavy/uncomfortable. Several other pilots I fly with use the CAs and highly rec'd them. I can honestly say these have revolutionized my time in the cockpit. No more headaches, sweaty ears, ect. I had to slightly bend the headpiece to get the right fit, but other than that they were good to go out of the box. The foam plugs work great, though I've invested in some custom ear plugs (have not flown with them yet). Buy 'em!

Very Nice! Highly recommended.
by Trevor from Golden CO USA
Pros: Lightweight, great sound
Review: I've only been able to use them a few times but these are extremely comfortable. They take a little playing with to understand how they fit but once they're on you forget they're on! Great sounds, no need for ANR with these. The only "other" I'd have is to have the in-line volume switch a little further away from the plug. I'm sure it's plane specific, but in my plane the jacks are just a little out of reach so adjusting the volume isn't quite as easy as it could be. Not bad for the only "other". I highly recommend them.

Save your money
by A Customer from Texas
Pros: Good noise attenuation, comfortable earbuds.
Cons: Stiff headband, not adjustable. Poor backing and guarantee by manufacturer if you break it trying to get it to fit.
Review: Cheap materials. Headset shape not adjustable or formable to the user's head.
Instead of covering material breakage, manufacturer just offers to sell you one at half price.

Devil in the details
by A Customer from Oakland, CA
Pros: great clarity, light and easy
Cons: hard to get in, slip out when hot
Review: I really liked them when they worked. They're broken now, and no real way to debug. Be aware:
- It's more of a pain to put them in, especially when they get out while you are flying. How long can you fly without hands?
- If you share them with others, use new earplugs and even then overcome the "eeew!" factor
- hot = sweaty = plugs slip out
+ some female passengers liked not having their hair smooshed.

I will probably never go back to traditional headsets again.
by Andrew from Houston TX USA
Pros: Sound is crystal clear. Headset is light as a feather.
Cons: None so far.
Review: Plain and simple, this headset works, and it works well. It's light and more importantly the sound is crystal clear. One of the advantages of this style over traditional headsets is the absence of the around-the-ear seal. No matter how fancy or expensive a headset is (Bose A20, Zulu Lightspeed), as soon as you slip on a pair of sunglasses or a ballcap you break the sound seal around the ear and drastically reduce the sound dampening capability of that headset. As far as I know there is no way around this. This headset eliminates that problem entirely. Acting like a stethoscope, you can wear sunglasses, ballcap, Pope hat, whatever. Plus as a minor bonus you won't suffer "headset hair" anymore. I give the Clarity Aloft two thumbs up. In fact after only two weeks of using it I'm going to splurge and get the custom molded ear plugs to use with it. This is from a professional helicopter pilot, ie. extra noisy cockpit.

Lightweight and effective
by Shawn from US
Pros: Lightweight; clear audio; aux input; comfortable ear plugs
Cons: Price
Review: As expected based on reviews and for the price. I wear these every day for 5 hour flights in a B350, its great not to have standard cups over the ears. Ear plugs are really good at forming a seal with the ear, and wear out about as advertised (~30 uses). Ambient sound is muffled pretty well, and the audio is very clear and fed directly to the inner ear. The headband is of slim profile, so works with my sunglasses and hat no problem. The aux input works great, but noticed when I play audio the headset reduces the input of the intercom. Side benefit that this reduces the static of the radios a bit. The mic does a fine job of reducing noise, but I have an auto hot-mic so I don't notice much difference from my DClarks. I used to want auto-muting on the aux input, but then I realized with how busy the radios are sometimes, I'd never hear my aux input! And its easy enough to balance the volumes of the multiple inputs.

So far, so good
by David from Gilroy CA USA
Review: I have use them 3 times and the noise suppression is great and the voice quality great. The most comfortable I have ever been in a light aircraft. My older Cessna 210 is load, but with these head sets, it is very comfortable.
Wednesday, June 22, 2011
by Phliar from San Francisco CA USA
Pros: Size and weight! Great passive noise blocking. Can use just the mike -- great for gliders.
Cons: No instructions. Mike boom is too floppy.
Review: It sounds like a normal aviation headset and has very good noise blocking (great in a Citabria), but the mike boom is too floppy. The mike seems to shift if you move your head too rapidly. It really needs instructions on how to wear them (the only instructions were for some sort of optional accessory which puzzled me greatly at first) -- I'm still not sure I put them on right. But the size and weight are pure genius. In gliders it's also convenient that you can use just the mike, and leave the earpieces dangling so you can hear the wind, vario, etc. Also, no band on top of your head to scratch the glider's canopy.

Excellent product performance
by Larry from Salisbury NC USA
Pros: Excellent noise reduction and sound clarity performance and very comfortable to wear.
Cons: Seems a little delicate but not problem so far.
Review: The Clarity Aloft Stereo Aviation Headset is the best headset I have used in the high noise environment of a Pitts Special S2B. Exceeds the performance of the David Clark H10-13.4 and far exceeds the performance of Lightspeed Zulu. Very comfortable to wear as you just forget you have it on. Would purchase again.
Tuesday, April 26, 2011
I would recommend this to others
by Benjamin from dothan AL USA
Pros: Super quiet and don't have to keep batteries handy like most noise cancelling headsets
Cons: Costly ear inserts and mic cannot be used on either side
Review: Quiet and lightweight as promised. You almost forget you have the headset on. Basically I only have two minor complaints. Since I am an instructor it would be nice to have mic on right side instead of left so wire doesn't stretch across and also I wear glasses and you have to pretty much have to take glasses and/or cap off to put headset off and on. One nice thing (Clarity Aloft will never tell you) is that after inserts are dirty instead of throwing them away, put them in a little bag or pocket and wash them with your clothes and when dry they are as good as new.

I like this product
by A Customer from atlanta GA USA
Pros: light weight and comfortable
Cons: not as quiet as active noise reduction of Zulu
Review: We got this for my wife, and she likes it. I used it briefly and thought it was very comfortable. I am not sure what I was expecting, but I could communicate very easily. I like the active noise reduction on my Lightspeed Zulu headset, but this one is very good. It is just different. I think my wife is going to go the extra step and get the customized earbuds, but for the mean time, this head set suits her very well.

Why did I buy a DC initially? Maybe it was the draw of the mint green color
by Speedbird320 from Champaign IL USA
Pros: Lightweight, Very good in C-172, Archer, Arrow etc
Cons: Must buy new ear canal tips once every 6 months, Might need a little bit of adjustment to begin with.
Review: I was in the market for a new headset when I could no longer stand the clampdown force of my DCs. My budget included the Bose ANRs as well. But I am glad I bought the clarity aloft.
First thing one wonders is whether it is safe to use this headset in single/multi engine prop planes such as the Archer, 172, Seminole etc. YES IT PERFECTLY SAFE TO DO SO AND IT WORKS JUST AS GOOD AS A DAVID CLARK HEADSET, perhaps even better.
Secondly, it is an incredibly lightweight headset. You don't feel it being there.
Be aware, that out of the box, the headset might not fight you perfectly, there is a number you must call to have the headset adjusted, it is a small price one pays, I guess patience is a virtue. Luckily, I did not need the headset to be adjusted.
Lastly, it doesn't mess with your hair. You can also wear whatever sort of sunglasses etc you couldn't wear due to a clamping headset, it is non intrusive in this case.
If you're a CFI or student pilot, this headset is an amazing investment and works great in the loudest of sounding airplanes.

Some PROS but definate CONS...
by Ric from Akron OH USA
Pros: VERY light weight and comfortable...
Cons: After using all three earbud sizes, noise reduction was not as advertise and (though tightened down during pre-flight, the earbuds came off...IN FLIGHT!! I'd be VERY interested if there are any realistic suggestions as to how to more firmly secure the earbuds.
Review: It pretty much goes without saying that the Clarity Aloft headset is a pleasure to wear due to its light weight. That said, my fears regarding the durability of the headset came true on the 3rd usage(the earbuds came off). The screw-on earbuds don't firmly tighten down because of the plastic threads which may allow the earbuds to loosen and fall off. Additionally, the claims of noise reduction equal or better than that of the ANR headsets is, in my opinion, an over ambitious claim. Though heavier and more uncomfortable, I'll be returning to my LightSpeed Zulu headset. Too bad, I did enjoy the light weight...
Monday, January 31, 2011
Highly Recommended
by CK from Carol Stream IL USA
Pros: Comfort - light weight, Sound Quality
Review: Skeptical at first, however this soon diminished with first actual use. Headset was so comfortable, I soon didn't even know I was wearing it. Works extremely well with glasses.
I suggest new users try positioning of the headset and insertion of the in-ear foam tips prior to spending time in the aircraft. Helps to keep the tips warm prior to putting in ear (especially in the northern winter weather).

Outstanding
by Joe from Scottsdale AZ USA
Pros: QUIET, LIGHT WEIGHT, COMFORTABLE
Cons: NONE
Review: I am a commercial airline pilot. I have used different ANR headsets, but nothing comes close to the Clarity Aloft. It is so quiet that it takes a little while to get used to the lack of noise. The ear plugs are soft, my ears never get tired of them, and it is so much more comfortable than having a big headset clamped to your cranium. The Clarity Aloft is outstanding!

Its the best sound out there, but have a back-up plan.
by Chris from Arizona from Goodyear, AZ
Pros: Sound and Light Weight
Cons: Poor Durability
Review: Excellence is expensive, but worth it. The Clarity Aloft standard headset and the TSO Pro sound quality is comparable to the best ANR in the lightest weight headset available. Expect a short mic boom and ear hotspots on longer flights. For me, durability was unsatisfactory on the standard headset. I had microphone failures on 6 deferent standard headsets. Clarity Aloft was wonderful to work with and switched me to the TSO Pro that lasted only 1,000 hours before developing unreparable electrical shorts.

Quality product- worth every penny
by George from Rancho Mirage CA USA
Pros: Expensive, but worth it. Excellent product.
Cons: Microphone arm can be broken off if you aren't gentle.
Review: Lightweight, comfortable, eliminates essentially all background noise, sound quality excellent.

Excellent - will be buying a second pair
by Shannon from Bayport MN USA
Pros: lightweight, works as billed
Review: Very nice. Will be buying a second pair for my wife.

Great for pilots wearing glasses
by Bannerpilot from East Troy WI USA
Pros: Very good noise canceling and comfortable
Cons: Delicate nature
Review: It reduces noise better than my David Clarks with ANR. It is very comfortable. In fact I have to remind myself to remove the earbuds before taking the headset off. Although I worry about it being delicate, careful use and storage techniques negate those concerns. Even though it's a bit pricey, I'm glad I bought it.
Monday, October 25, 2010
by A Customer from Phoenix AZ USA
Pros: light and less expensive
Cons: May cause ear canal irritation
Review: My wife loves it. No hair smashing headset and to her very comfortable. I could not wear them for more than 30 mins due to ear pain from the smallest ear buds.

Exacltly what I neded
by Franco from Tagliolo Monferrato AL Italy
Review: Light, precise and really easy to use,much better of all my previous headset. Price is high but product is high standard too.
Monday, June 21, 2010
by Justin from Yukon OK USA
Pros: light and comfortable
Cons: WIres are weak
Review: I like the headset. Comfort and noise level isall good. However, for the price the quality is low. I have to send mine back due to loose wires at the box leading to headset. My usuage level is approximately 5 hours a week. Should last longer than a few months.

Pretty great
by A Customer from Valdez AK USA
Pros: Quieter than any ANR headset I've used, and much more comfortable
Cons: Takes a moment to put in correctly
Review: Fantastic product, quiet as a set of earplugs, and it muffles a broader range of frequencies than expected. Much easier to hear the radio than the $1000 ANR headsets I trained with, it's a relief to no longer be concerned about running out of batteries mid-flight, and I no longer feel obliged to trim my sideburns just to get a seal. It takes me a dedicated 30sec to put the plugs in correctly, but the comfort and clarity makes it time well spent.

OK so we are convinced - we are keeping it
by Gerald from Sunnyvale CA USA
Pros: 7 hours with no complaints from the passengers about headset rash. Sound excellent on mike thru intercomm
Cons: shoulder straps of BAS seatbelts rub agains the back headband
Review: We bought the headset for a long trip (14 hours round trip). My wife wanted to try them out and your return policy made that possible with no real risk. I bought the expensive Bose based on her insistence. However, at 1/2 the price, she is much happier wearing the Clarity Aloft.

Great headset. Overpriced.
by Michael from Bedford TX USA
Pros: Light, comfortable, sound quality.
Cons: Overpriced, no clip for your shirt, costly consumble ear plugs.
Review: Great headset. Very light. Comfortable for long flights. Noise isolation is great. All that said, the headset is highly over priced for a unit with out ANR, no clip for the leads and continued high price maintenance for consumable ear pieces. Would I recommend this set? Highly. Will I purchase another, not at this price.
Tuesday, June 01, 2010
as advertised
by Michael from Sanford CO USA
Pros: light, cool, no head clamp on long trips
Cons: seems expensive for what there is but works great.
Review: So far I'm very happy with the headphones. My favorite headset.
Tuesday, June 01, 2010
Fantastic!
by Gary from Youngstown OH USA
Pros: Lightweight, comfortable, quiet. I think I can hear a bit clearer on them than my Zulus also.
Cons: None Yet.
Review: I initially outfitted my Saratoga with Lightspeed Zulu headsets. I have been reading about the Clarity Alofts and wanted to try them, but figured they were only for quieter turbine aircraft. When I read a review that someone had tried them in a piston single, I gave it a whirl. I love them, with no reservations. Can't tell if they are as quiet as the Zulus, and I'm not putting the Zulus back on to find out. Thought having something in my ear might be an issue, but it isn't. If you have any worries that they seem too good to be true, don't worry. I think they are a great product. I've read some other reviewers concerns, but I have none of those myself........at least not yet.

Great for long flights
by James from North Little Rock AR USA
Pros: Lightweight and clarity is great.
Cons: None so far
Review: Perfect for longer flights where a full headset gets heavy and tight. You can easily remove the ear peices and use the cockpit speaker if you do not want the ear pieces in. Then you still have use of the microphone without having to try and find the hand-held mic.

work well for a non ANR
by Paul from Hendersonville NC USA
Review: Surprisingly light. Not ANR but still good clarity. Nuisance to put in ears. Flimsy.We have two. Wife likes better than earmuffs. Wish they made molded ear pieces for me.

Exactly what I needed
by Gary from Amarillo TX USA
Pros: Light, crystal clear
Cons: The ipod attachment works well but doesn't shut off when theres radio traffic.
Review: I'm a student pilot but I'm 47 yrs old. Over the years my hearing has gotten worse in the fact that I can't distinguish voice from other noise sometimes. Wearing several different types of headsets, even Bose, didn't seem to help. I could hear the tower speaking and get most of it but many times I'd lose key words that dropped into the background noise. I was always looking at the instructor and shrugging my shoulders telling him I didn't hear what they said. As soon as I put these Clarity Aloft into my ears I immediately heard everything being said and it was crystal clear. I may not understand what they mean sometimes but I at least hear it. It's made a huge difference for me .
Friday, July 17, 2009
Exactly what I expected
by Randy from Las Vegas NV USA
Pros: Comfort, no batteries.
Cons: Only that you cannot share these with others-not really a problem
Review: Light weight, no pressure, and cool in hot weather.
Tuesday, July 14, 2009
I will buy this product again
by Jim from Reston VA USA
Pros: extremely lightweight, comfortable
Cons: Not as noise-cancelling as my David Clark 13.4S, but good enough
Review: I purchased a pair of clarity aloft so my wife could try them out. She doesn't like "headset hair" so I thought these would be a good fit. I had tried the lightspeed over the ear and didn't care for them. I gave them a try after they arrived and I love them. I've told my wife she can try these, but this is my pair. If she likes them, I'll purchase another pair for her. I can hardly tell I'm wearing a headset!

Solved my hearing problem.
by Raymond from Riverside CA USA
Pros: Noise blocking
Cons: Cost
Review: I had a hearing problem in the airplane. I went so far to visit several hearing aid retailers trying to fix my problem. My hearing response starts to roll off at mid frequencies making it hard for me to hear in high noise environments such as a crowded resturant or a cockpit. It turns out that the noise was overwhelming the signal. When I bought the Clarity Aloft headset it solved my problem. The CA headset blocks the noise and allows me to hear and understand the radio.

All that is advertized
by Wesley from Nassau, Bahamas.
Pros: Comfort on the head and ears, easy to hear transmissions even in the noisiest cockpit. Truly flexible boom mike. Just flip it out of the way to eat or drink then when you are ready it returns to the correct position without a hassle.
Cons: Needs a way to keep the cord from dropping behind your back.
Review: This headset is all that is advertized. The clarity is excellent, as is the comfort. After about two minutes you forget you have a headset on. Earplugs are super comfortable. Only drawback is that there needs to be some sort of clip to imobilize the cord. When you lean forward to change frequencies then straighten back up the cord drops between your back and the seat, so when you turn your head next you are restricted. I will find a solution.

So light that it's like not wearing a headset at all
by A Customer from Mountain View, CA
Pros: Small, light
Cons: Must be comfortable with something in your ear
Review: This headset is very light and doesn't restrict me from keeping my head on a swivel for traffic. I can put my sunglasses or foggles on without creating a gap between my head and the headset (or causing headaches due to the headset squeezing the sunglasses against my head). There is no clamping force, so it's quite comfortable and it's easy to forget it's there. This headset is not for somebody who is squeamish about jamming something into their ear canal. You really have to push the earplug far in to get the best noise reduction. I've had a bad seal when I didn't jam it as far in as I could. I just pulled it back out and tried again but not everyone will be comfortable with that. I'm not sure how fragile it is. The rep at AOPA Expo twisted and bent it pretty dramatically, but I'm still not completely convinced. So I keep it in the supplied hard-sided carrying case inside my flight bag and make sure not to toss it on the seat or floor where it can be crushed. The noise attenuation seems good and the numbers appear to be better than most ANR headsets. Again, this assumes that you jam the thing pretty far into your ear so your actual results may vary but I'm impressed. I'd buy it again.
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
outstanding!
by Charles from Salem OR USA
Pros: everything, comfort, quiet, clear and high quality microphone.
Cons: none
Review: I've been wearing this headset for about 5 years now. The first time I decided to never ever wear earmuff headsets again. A couple of times I had to wear "earmuffs" and it was totally miserable! These are far superior to any muff style, including $995 bose noise cancelling model. I see people still wearing these muffs and feel about the same way I do when I see someone puffing on a cigarette! Pity for them!

On the way to becoming the perfect headset, but not there yet.
by fastflyer from Goleta CA USA
Pros: Light weight, easy to use, good sound and microphone.
Cons: Not happy with the frame in the back of the head; hard to seal earpieces.
Review: In concept this headset is great. However two deficiencies exist that hamper its excellence. 1) I find that the metal frame that goes around the back of the pilots head interferes with my headrest on my Bonanza. It also adds some unnecessary bulk to the headset. And 2) It is hard to get the earplugs to form a comfortable seal in my ears. I have large ear holes and even the large ear seals have to be pushed in too far (to be comfortable) to make a seal. The good news is that when they do seal, they are very quiet. Perhaps Clarity Aloft should offer a custom ear seal option like LightSpeed does. I do like the rest of the design as it's easy to wear and the mic works very well. My airplane partner has the LightSpeed product and after comparing, we both feel that the ideal headset may lie somewhere in between the Clarity Aloft product and the Light Speed competitor.

Best I've seen
by Kyle from Cayucos CA USA
Pros: Comfortable, stylish, MP3 jack works good
Cons: Ear plugs less than desirable
Review: Very comfortable. The ear plugs are a little small for my ears. I haven't had anyone complain about the mic. It really makes my long trips much more enjoyable. I don't know how well it would work in a turbo-prop or piston. Came with a great case. In our airplane when you plug something into the headsets MP3 jack the radio and other persons volume goes down so you have to adjust each time. No big deal.

First headset to work in my Christen Eagle
by Conrad from RIVERSIDE CA USA
Pros: I can hear!
Cons: Having to stick it in my ear. Being unable to adjust in flight.
Review: The noise environment in the Christen Eagle aft seat is such that it overwhelms any ANC headset. The best I ever got before Clarity Aloft was an old David Clark in a cloth helmet. With the Clarity Aloft I can hear and understand flawlessly for the first time after a number of headset tries, including the Lightspeed in-ear ANC headset.

Getting used to it, starting to really enjoy!
by Daniel from Huntington Beach, CA
Pros: lightweight, like you are not wearing anything, great noise reduction great comfort, great sound quality
Review: I have now a set for two days. In the beginning it was a little bit weird. Now after flying a few hours with it I'm starting to really like it. The weird part I expected. There's a little "learning curve" to it, as your own voice sounds different to yourself, and actually the big advertised advantage - that you feel like you are not wearing a headset - takes a little getting used to. I fly a Grumman Traveller, and the noise reduction is different. Again, after getting used to it, I'm enjoying the low deep engine rumble and all wind sounds are gone. Very quiet. Again, different than my Bose, but I'm starting to enjoy the CA better. I attached my iPhone to the aux input for my ipod music, and although there's a drop in overall volume, the sound quality is excellent. At max. volume the CA are a lot louder than the Bose. It's not for all. If you're not used to have headphones/ear protection stuck in your ear, you might not like it. Overall I'm pleased with a different approach that actually works very well.

You'll never use over the ear headsets again !!!
by Jeff R. from Encino CA USA
Pros: It's clear, quiet and comfortable.
Review: Clarity's in ear headset is by far better than any over ear option. Why??? 1)Just like the name... the end result is very clear communication, 2)Noise reduction is phenominal, it's just as good as noise canceling... and there is no worries about dealing with batteries, 3) You can not beat the comfort... even the foam ear plugs shouldn't bother you after flying for hours, and 4) Vanity --- my hair, a bit longer than most... is not messed up after removing.

It's the best thing out there
by B from Seattle
Pros: COMFORT, ease of use, quality, music input, no batteries req'd
Cons: Some things to get used to, need to replace earplugs +1month
Review: It gets a 9.9/10 really. The sound quality is great, the attenuation is great, people say the mic is good, it's the most comfortable headset. I feel virtually nothing when I wear it and feel sorry for the guy sitting next to me with the clamp on his head. The headset does have some quirks, like getting the earplugs in correctly, using the shirt clip and it kind of sounds like you are talking with your fingers in your ears. But it does have a mp3 input. It's relatively easy to put away. It gets in the way LESS between legs because, obviously, it's smaller than your typical DC. The Comply earplugs are super quiet (more so than your typical Howard Leights), and are super comfortable. 50% the price of Bose X's.

Definate Upgrade
by Tekkie79 from Cleveland, OH
Pros: Small, Light, Cool, Comfortable, No Pressure, No Headaches, No heat
Cons: Awkward to wear at frist, but you get used to it. Could use a cell phone input
Review: These things are great!! I wore them at home for hours and forgot I even had them on. Worked great in the plane on long cross country trips also.
If you don't like things in your ears, you won't like these. But.. if you like light (near invisible), cool, comfortable, no-pressure headpphones these are for you. Or, if you're worried about messing up your hair, wearing a hat, or any worries about the top of your head or even sunglasses.. LOOK NO FURTHER!! These don't interfear with glasses, hats, hair, nothing. Just like wearing your I-POD headphones.

Finally a comfortable headset
by Joe Holland from CA
Pros: Comfortable, light, very good noise attenuation
Cons: Not a headset you share, initially tricky to get ear pieces inserted
Review: The first headset I've worn that is comfortable hour after hour and really attenuates cockpit noise. Plus I can comfortably wear a hat with the headset. Quite happy. There is one trick to wearing the headset, that is to pull ear to open ear canal when inserting the foam earpieces into ear and while they are expanding to fill ear canal.
