May not look hip, but it's an amazing headset
by Vanessa from Salt Lake City UT USA
Pros: Can hardly hear any prop noise, extremely comfortable.
Cons: On long trips, you can feel the squeeze but it passes. This, headset, from what I hear doesn't have nearly the clamp as other sets.
Review: This headset may look like a kid built it (not the hippest design out there), but it sure works! The other day, I took off my headset in flight and couldn't believe how loud my GA plane is, that's because this headset nearly makes you deaf in the cockpit (a great thing) because all you hear is the clear clear voices of the tower/pilots. As a new pilot, I don't want to dink around with all the ANR gadgets nor spend the money. This headset makes communication clear and concise, and the padding around the ears makes it amazingly comfortable.

Meets my needs
by Bill from Wisconsin Rapids WI USA
Pros: Price, effective passive noise attentuation, cell phone connection
Cons: Just a little heavier than I would like
Review: Due to a health issue (a persistent head cold), I've only been able to use this headset for one trip so far. However, that one trip was a pretty good test, and I must say I am very pleased. For several reasons, I didn't want an ANR headset, so, after carefully researching the other options, I chose this one. What sold me on it was a good combination of price and features. Especially handy for someone like me, who must fairly often pick up a clearance by phone, was the easy-to-use cell phone connection. It works great and is a huge improvement over having to take off a headset to use the phone while the engine is running in the run-up pad.

I really like my new Echelon 25XT
by Steve McLaughlin from Odessa, TX
Pros: All good, I believe it is worth the price.
Cons: None, unless you want ANR features.
Review: Very happy with my purchase. Didn't know if I needed an ANR, but this passive fills the bill. Relatively no frills, but includes music and phone cords. Like the look, feel, comfort. Flew for 1.7 hours, never gave a second thought to the headset, until I pulled lean to shut down. Probably will order another one for my passengers soon. (C-172)

Don't overlook this one!
by Nato Potatoe from Grand Rapids, MI
Pros: Sound is great. Comfort is awesome. Great Value
Cons: wide earphones. should have lower profile volume control knobs. Asthetics could be better. It looks kind of cheap.
Review: I bought this set and a DC H10-13.4. I figured I could try them both and keep the best. I tried both on for extended periods. The 25xt was more comfortable. The 25xt adjusted quickly and stayed where I put it. The earcups and headband were very comfortable. The boom mic is mounted on the bottom of the ear speaker so it stays out of your periferal vision and is not distracting. Probably don't really need individual volume control for each ear. I haven't used the additional inputs yet. Definately recommend to anyone.
