These work ok

By A Customer from Utah on Monday, October 20, 2014
Pros: Basic helicopter headset, gel ear cups, good with glasses
Review: Got this headset in my student pilot kit, have about 25 hours on it. I can't go deep into detail because I obviously don't have experience. It works ok for what it is, but I would have hated to have paid my own money for it.

Clamp pressure is too tight, so I have to wear the set loosely on my head if I don't want a splitting headache from 2 hour flights. This does reduce the sound reduction a bit, but I wear ear plugs on the inside anyways, or else the noise reduction is insufficient even with a headache grip. I had to tape the headband, or else these will just fall back to the smallest adjustment. The gel ear cups are nice and comfortable once I got it fitting decently though, even with my glasses.

I'd say if you're looking for a first headset, then buy the Telex Heli-XT on here instead. It's actually a few dollars cheaper right now. I'm already looking at upgrading headsets in the near future, and that one is high on the list for the value it brings at a low price.

Pros:
Review: Great value for money. Best passive noise reduction I've experienced in a helicopter. I own a pair of DC's for fixed wing that's pushing 30 years and still going strong.

Q: Hi, Can I use my David Clark H10-26 headset on a Pilatus PC-12?

A:
The Pilatus PC-12 will have the standard dual jacks and/or a 6-pin Redel jack. In order to use the H10-26 headset you would need to get a helicopter to fixed wing adapter. It's not clear if you already have the H10-26 or are considering buying one. If you already have it, then the helicopter to fixed wing adapter will get you going. If you are considering buying one, I would suggest a different headset that doesn't require an adapter. For example, the David Clark H10-13.4 is a similar headset that will have the standard dual plugs that you can use in the PC-12.

Q: Is it HIGH or LOW IMPEDANCE? Thank you very much.

A: This is a high impedance headset for general aviation. It is for civilian use and is not a military headset.
Friday, November 30, 2012
Q:
I am a helicopter pilot and fly the EC145. I want to know what kind of headphones do you recommend, especially headphones that allow you to use low and high impedance?

A: If you are looking for a headset that is capable of both high and low impedance, we would suggest the David Clark H10-66 headset instead. It is a unique dual impedance headset for use in civilian and military style aircraft.

Q: What is the difference between H10-26 and h10-13h??

A:
Both the David Clark H10-26 and H10-13H are passive helicopter headsets. While very similar, there are slight differences when comparing both side by side. The H10-13H is lighter (16.5oz) than the H10-26 (21oz), however the H10-26 has a slightly better noise reduction rating (24dB) than the H10-13H (23dB). Additional differences include the H10-26's foam air/flow pillow head pad that automatically adjusts to each individuals head contour, but the H10-13H will have more head padding, as well as the H10-13H's FAA TSOs C57 Cat. B and C58a certifications. A great way to compare headsets is by using our Headset Comparison Tool.
