Good and Affordable headset
by Bjorn from Burnsville MN USA 
Pros: Affordable, efficient, work well
Cons: Foam pads around ears not as comfortable as more expensive headsets
Review: I really like this headset. I had looked at getting the $600 Lightspeed Sierra ANR headset because I had tried that one out and really liked it. The foam pads on the ear muffs are not as comfortable as the Lightspeed, however for half the price I was willing to deal with that small inconvenience until I earn my private pilot certificate. If you have the money go for the Lightspeed, but if you're on a budget these are well worth it.

Great product & customer service!
by Don from Danville CA USA 
Pros: Fine products, great pricing, great customer service
Cons: None
Review: I purchased the Rugged Air RA50 ANR headset which performs very well at with a great price point. One of the inner ear seals was not staying attached, so I contacted mypilotstore.com and they had me call Rugged Air and they are mailing out a replacement earseal set today. Great follow-up and customer service by both Rugged Air and mypilotstore.com

Pretty good but not the best
by T140V from Turlock, ca 
Pros: fit, comfort, clarity
Cons: cord is weak and needs to be of better quality
Review: Now That I have owned the RA950 for six months I can can give you a pointer about the battery life. Be sure to unplug the headset from your audio system when you shut down. The battery will disconnect automatically and save the life of it.
The only problem I've had is the cord at the base of the headset is made of a very thin gage wire. I have had to resolder the wires to the inside of the earphone by pulling slack into the earphone and stripping back the outer sheath exposing more fresh wire. The wire's break right at the base and I have fixed two headsets this way. They need to use stronger wire at that spot due to coiling the wire into the carrying bag they give you with this product.
Other than that {which might seem extreme to some}I think the RA950 is great for the half the price of the more common brands.

by Dennis from denmark WI USA 
Pros: Pirce
Cons: Size
Review: Great headset for the price.  Headsets turn on when plugged in and off when pulled out so no need for a switch just have to unplug them.  Battery life seems ok (to early to tell).

Best bang for the buck!
by T140V from Turlock CA USA 
Pros: Very quiet and good fit
Review: Wore it from Missouri to California in two days and it fit great. Performance was more than expected. No problems with batteries. I used the same 9V for almost two days and never pulled it out.

Exellent For Price
by Chuck from Toledo, OH 
Pros: Comfort, audio clairity
Cons: Battery life
Review: I have owned this headset for a year and a half and will second all the comments about comfort. It weighs a bit more than others but with the gel seals it isn't a factor. Audio is crystal clear and ATC has never complained about my voice clairity. Battery life is a bit short with no auto off, but this is a minor inconvenience and with the money you save you can buy lots of batteries! It did take a bit of trial and error to get the headband adjusted so it fit "just right"

Still a great headset after 6 months..
by Bob Shettel from Redstone, CO 
Pros: Comfortable, clear sound, low price
Cons: 9V batteries last about 5 hrs.
Review: I've been using for 6 months now and this headset has taken me through training into passing my checkride. Excellent comfort, ANR as good as my CFI's Bose, and the price can't be beat. The most negative thing I can come up with is that it does go through the 9V batteries and I wish the battery indicator was a little more informative. That said, the hundreds of dollars of savings over the bigger names will buy a ton of 9V batteries.

I just purchased another of these same headsets for my wife and she seconds the comfort comment. I would recommend them to anyone.

by Laurie from Spotsylvania VA USA 
Pros: Great noise reduction, comfortable

Excellent ANR headset at reasonable price
by Bob Shettel from Redstone, CO 
Pros: Comfortable gel ear pads and top head pad, crystal clear sound and great noise reduction.
Cons: None yet...
Review: Purchased these a month ago and they have proved to be a very comfortable headset with superb passive and active noise reduction. The only addition I would like to see would be an on/off switch, but I'm a control freak who likes the added control.
