Great
- By A Customer on Sunday, August 30, 2009
- Pros: easily adjustable, ANR works well, has lasted almost 2 years of hard use, good battery life
- Cons: microphone could be a little more sensitive.
- Review: My first headset, and I couldn't be happier! Great mix between price and quality, and although isn't the best at reducing noise and doesn't fit like a dream, it still is the best "bang for your buck" ANR headset I have seen. leaves little to be desired. Definatly will purchase again!

- Review: While it is a bit heavier than my previous headset, it is quite comfortable and its sound quality is much clearer. At its price, I'd buy this product again.

Good headset needs just a little help
- By Dave H. from Mesa, AZ on Saturday, March 8, 2008
- Pros: comfortable earseals and headpad
- Cons: strong head-clamp
- Review: I'm an instructor and fly about 7 hours a day so noise reduction and comfort are important. I have two of these headsets and my only complaint is that from the factory they clamp a bit too tight. On the first one I simply used the cave-man adjustment method and slightly straightened the head band. That solved the problem. I then tried the cave-man adjustment on the second headset and BROKE the band! @#$&%... So I ordered a large replacement band from Oregon Aero and it is now my favorite headset.

excellent headset!
- By Lawrence from Vernal UT USA on Monday, January 16, 2012
- Pros: ANR really works well, and ear cups seal great.
- Cons: just a bit heavy--just a minor issue.
- Review: Bought this for my wife, as she is quite noise sensitive in the plane (migraines). She agreed to let me use it once and I love it! Dramatically more comfortable than my current pair. Ear cups seal well while wearing glasses. Activating the ANR really works well, unlike some cheaper models I've tried. They are a bit heavier than some non-ANR models, but they fit so well this seems to be a minor issue. I will be getting a pair for myself, for certain.

Good Value.
- By Tongo from Kansas City, MO on Monday, August 6, 2007
- Pros: Good performance, cheap price, service.
- Cons: Reliability
- Review: This is my second Flightcom Active Noise Reduction Headset. The first one (6ANX) failed after just 2 & 1/2 years, and they don't have parts for it. I've had the Classic ANR for 9 months and its noise reduction performance is good. I just completed a day of 8.5 hours of flying, and they are a little tight, making my ears sore, but I have not worn a headset yet that does not do that. The headset boom does not stay in place at this time, the rotating joint at the earcup is loose, and Flightcom service says they had some with defective nuts, and they are sending replacement parts free of charge. But, this was the cheapest priced ANR headset that I could find.

Okay Headset
- By A Customer on Saturday, July 27, 2024
- Review: The ANR works good enough for a $350 headset, I can’t complain too much. And the sound is clear, and easy to understand other pilots… BUT the microphone absolutely sucks. My CFI said it was the worst he’s ever heard. It’s like I’m talking through a long tube. For that I think three stars is fair.
