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.

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!

Works well for a student pilot as a starter head set and will be great for a back up or for passengers. I will most likly buy a couple more sets.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
