Great Product
- By Erik Lindgren from Riverside CA USA on Thursday, October 29, 2009
- Pros: Clear audio, comfortable fit.
- Cons: None
- Review: This product has exceded my expectations. I have used many headsets over the last 10 years of flying including the big names and can not remember ever wearing a set that felt better. The ear seals are comfortable on 2 hour flights. The audio is clear. And the over all weight and tension of the headset and headband are perfect. Best price, Best value. I will be outfitting the other three seats in my Bonanza in the future.

avcom, gr8 quality
- By Glen from Media PA USA on Thursday, October 31, 2019
- Pros: Weight, audio clarity, price
- Cons: Clamp force more than
- Review:
I've had a number of avcom products in the past and they just keep getting better and better with great reliability and ruggedness.
This particular headset is now much lighter with a new type of plastic and still delivers great performance from jets to GA.. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 0 Other people found this review helpful.

Very impressed, looking into other Av Comm models to buy.
- By A Customer from Gilmer, TX. on Wednesday, December 02, 2009
- Pros: Most bang for the buck!
- Cons: NO problems thus far.
- Review: Simple, inexpensive, clear, plenty of volume, and I love the deep tone of the talk back. Also own a set of Bose and David Clark. Use the Avcoms over the others 95% of the time. Never had any problems, like with David Clarks. Everyone that uses them likes the clarity and sound of their own voice.

Excellent value!
- By Ross Wood from Glendale Airport, AZ. on Tuesday, June 05, 2007
- Pros: Comfortable, adjustable, great sound & good mike.
- Cons: Mike foam cover tends to fall off
- Review: I was somewhat leery of buying a headset that I wasn't familiar with, at a price less than half of what I payed for a David Clark. I was very pleasantly surprised, as was my flying companion, to find that the AVCOMM worked very well & I am very pleased with the performance.

Great product for student pilots
- By Chris from Madison, MS USA on Monday, December 03, 2007
- Pros: good price, good build quality, good sound and mic quality, low background noise, comfortable
- Cons: The mic has to be almost touching your mouth to pick up.
- Review: I am a new pilot and this is my first headset so I don't have anything to compare it to. However, I can say that so far there have been no problems with it and it is comfortable even after long periods. Also, there are no difficulties in hearing and having others hear me. The fact that this is a low cost headset doesn't seem to affect its quality at all. After using this I can't understand why people spend upwards of $500 for headsets- they can't be that much better.

Warbird Experience
- By Wayne- Nanchang 01 Flieger Fuhrer from Auckland New Zealand on Monday, November 16, 2009
- Pros: Looks great. Superb performance
- Cons: Very expensive
- Review: I fly a Nanchang Warbird and the noise level from the front cockpit if deafening as I am just a few feet from the 10 litre supercharged radial engine with no noise insulation. I have purchased a custom made helmit from http://www.campbellaeroclassics.com/ fitted with Avcomm avionics and find this superb. Very expensive but worth every cent.

Good product
- By Ronald from moselle MS USA on Monday, October 15, 2007
- Pros: Cheap, good for trainers, excellent sound reduction, very good ear audio
- Cons: Your own voice sounds bad in your headset
- Review:
I gave this headset a 4star.
The listening quality is very good, I could not tell the difference from my instructor's headset and my headset when I got it.
The Mic (with mic muff on) on the other hand sounded different.
Without doing a full on test, it sounds like My voice in My headset is ... kinda static like sound, while my instructor tells me I sound good over his headset...
The unit fits comfortably over my sunglasses for 2 hours without hurting or fatiguing my ears or face. The Sound reduction is extremely good in my opinion. Too good maybe... I can still hear the engine humming but that's it... no wind noise, no outside noise, nothing... very good in sound reduction.
Don't let the low price scare you, this is a very good product for training pilots with low budget. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 0 Other people found this review helpful.

A cheap alternative
- By Jack from Gainesville FL USA on Monday, January 25, 2010
- Pros: Inexpensive, not uncomfortable to wear
- Cons: the mic could be better
- Review: This is a nice headset. Don't let the price fool you, it's well made and works like a charm. This headset fits my large head very snugly and doesn't squeeze your head like a vice. My only concern is the mic cuts out from time to time, but that's a very minor issue. Other than that, it's great. If your a student pilot on a budget, this is the headset for you!

Good value for the money
- By Elizabeth from Jacksonville FL USA on Thursday, June 12, 2008
- Review: Our 15 year old son reports that they fit very comforatably and are perfect while his is training to get his license. They work quite well. Loves having his own set and not having to borrow a pair from the school.

Great headset for friends
- By PhantomAir from BJC on Monday, July 30, 2007
- Pros: Price
- Cons: Wierd mic positioning
- Review: I purchased this headset for passengers that ride with me. I personally haven't used it because I use the 900p, but it works great for what it is used for. I think the only drawback, is that my passengers have a tough time positioning the microphone directly in front of their mouth. It tends to be a little to the side and there's really nothing you can do about it, but other than that, it was $99.95 which is the cheapest price I found anywhere including the pilot shop where I fly out of.

- Review: Good noise reduction, clear communications, comfortable for a very reasonable price. Much less clamping pressure than my QFR Solo headset. I bought 3 of these so that the entire family is covered when we fly together.

Does the job
- By Howard from Tavernier FL USA on Monday, April 05, 2010
- Pros: Value for cost
- Cons: Wiring insulation deteriation over time
- Review: The headset has met my expectations so far. Time will tell the story of its durability. I have owned the same model before. The weak point of the previous ones was the inability of the insulation on the wiring to withstand heat over time without deteriation.

avcomm AV 200
- By n423jc from florida on Wednesday, November 19, 2008
- Pros: Great for the money
- Cons: none
- Review: I've owned a set for over ten years, and often resorted to them when my Lightspeed 20k's batteries went dead or had to replace the oversized ear cushions. I find them very clear and very good noise reduction for a passive headset. The only problem I've had is the cord outer layer disintegrated, exposing the inner copper shielding. Will have to replace the cord.

Perfect Student Headset
- By A Customer from San Diego, CA on Tuesday, July 14, 2009
- Pros: Inexpensive, durable, light
- Cons: becomes very uncomfortable on long flights
- Review: I bought this headset shortly after soloing in my student pilot days, and only after doing quite a bit of research. Back then I wasn't up for putting a lot of $$ into something other than rental time, so this seemed like a good option. I was very impressed by the sound quality of both the headphones and the electret mic. After a few flights, I spent another $20 on a pair of David Clark gel ear seals, and that really made the difference. Don't use this headset without them. The bad thing about the headset is that it can become VERY uncomfortable on cross-country flights, due to clamping pressure. I would advise students who will be flying lessons longer than an hour to spend a little more money on a nicer (possibly ANR) headset.

disappointed
- By A Customer on Thursday, October 01, 2009
- Pros: price
- Cons: poor quality
- Review: Headset is light & comfortable & sounds fine when it works. The one I recieved has a bad connection in the cord. The cord is junk and that's a shame because if it wasn't for that, I could recommend this product to anyone flying on a budget.

You get what you pay for....
- By A Customer from Long Beach, CA on Monday, August 06, 2007
- Pros: cheap
- Cons: low volume, poor quality sound.
- Review: Volume is poor. Tonal quality is poor and tinny. When the volume is turned up on the radios, all you get is overmodulated noise that's unintelligible.
