Great Headset, would buy again .....and did 35 years later when I needed a second one!

  • Pros: Simple robust design
  • Cons: Not noise cancelling, but works very well without it!
  • Review: It exceeded my expectations, since I bought the first one in the late 1970's.  I did purchase the electret microphone for this new headset as my original had that as well.

  • By A Customer from Mukilteo WA USA on Friday, November 30, 2012
  • Pros: Comfort, adjustable volume control,
  • Cons: Need cloth covers for ear pads to reduce sweating
  • Review: My First Headset...
    Comfortable, clear, Adjustable volume control on the head set is great!

    I plan to get some cloth covers for the ear pads. while they are not uncomfortable, they do cause sweating where they contact the skin

excellent and durable. mic amp needs adjustment before using.

  • By A Customer from USA on Saturday, January 25, 2014
  • Pros: Durable design. Strong fit without squeezing too much. Escellent mic.
  • Cons: The new molded cable assembly can not be repaired in case of damage. The old (classic) cable assembly was better. The mic will not operate in modern coms without bias dc voltage.
  • Review: Using this headset for 4 years now over 3000 hours. It is still working like new. It is used in freezing unheated cockpit in winter and steaming hot cockpit in summer, sometimes with side windows open in flight. If the mic picks up noise, let it just barely touch the lips off center, speak loud and clear. Maybe the gain on the mic needs some adjustment if too much constant noise is picked up.

Excellent headset!

  • By A Customer from Durango, Colorado on Tuesday, August 9, 2011
  • Review: I have had my H10-30's for 26 years now, without any problems at all. Having been an active flight instructor for the last 24 years, I cannot think of a better value headset available.

  • By Forrest L. Walton, Sr. from Southport, N.C. on Saturday, October 11, 2008
  • Pros: "They walk their talk".
  • Cons: Too good maybe
  • Review: When our son,Forrest L. Walton,Jr., made captain with Atlantic Airline, Myrtle Beach, N.C. back in the 1970's we bought him a basic David Clark headset to celebrate the occasion. He moved on to Piedmont, which was bought by U.S. Airway and he gave the headset, with one earpiece not working, back to me since I fly and he no longer needed it. I sent the head set to David Clark for repairs. David Clark checked it out and made repairs at no cost, which I could hardly beleive. The set was over 20 years old when I sent it to David Clark for repairs. I am using it today and it is still working just fine. I tell everyone who asks about a headset to try David Clark for terrific clarity, quality and support. We bought him another from David Clark recently so he could use it for passengers in his Cessna 170. David Clark is a "Wow" company during times when few "walk their talk".5

David Clark H10-30 Headset

  • By Eric from DUBLIN Ireland on Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Great Headset

  • By John R. from Texas on Monday, May 4, 2009
  • Pros: Great headset, but get the upgraded M-7/DC mic. Great sound reduction.
  • Cons: outdated mic
  • Review: I love this headset. It has great sound reduction, and it is very comfortable. I wanted this headset mainly for the sound reduction, but I also wanted the metal boom. I ordered the M-7/DC retrofit kit. I used the headset with the original M-1 first. It has a lot of ambient noise and distortion. The original mic is still decent though, but the upgrade is definitely worth it.

Great Headset

  • By Duane from WEST LAFAYETTE IN USA on Tuesday, April 8, 2008
  • Pros: Cheap, good quality
  • Cons: Mic is older technology
  • Review: I'm a student pilot, and this is my first headset. I can't compare it to any other headset because it is the first one I have used. It works great and I have no complaints whatsoever. It's pretty comfortable and sound quality is great. The mic works great although I have heard that the mic is older technology, but I haven't used the M7's (like on the 10-13.4's) so like I said, I can't compare. I'll probably upgrade later. Overall, great headset for the price and the David Clark quality! Duane

Great price for the quality

  • By A Customer from Memphis Tn on Tuesday, March 22, 2011
  • Pros: Great price. Great sound and sturdy
  • Cons: Mic issues.
  • Review: I've been flying for about 3 months now. I just did my first solo last week and I've been using this headset since the beginning. I have not had an issue until this weekend when I was doing a cross country. As I investigated I noticed the small screw on the mic was backed out all the way which caused my mic to constantly transmit. I was able to adjust it in flight. I'm sure I will have to make adjustments again next time but overall a good head set. Thinking I might upgrade the mic in a few months.

Great headset!

  • By Meir from Pembroke Pines FL USA on Monday, July 9, 2012
  • Pros: Comfortable, I hear very well in them, cuts out the noise of the airplane
  • Cons: Pad keeps falling off one ear, microphone has to be REALLY close to my mouth
  • Review: I love the headset, it's very comfortable. The thing is that the pad on one side keeps falling off. The microphone has to be almost inside my mouth but other than that I hear fine and I love it.

Well worth the money

  • By Adams from west chicago IL USA on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
  • Pros: cumfortable
  • Cons: mic takes some getting used to
  • Review: I'm a student pilot and have been flying with this headset for about 2 months now.  Works great. The only problem I had at first was the mic not transmitting sometimes. I found that it basically has to be touching your lips to pick you up. that might put some people off but it doesnt bother me.  Great headset!

David Clark gives every H10-30 owner a free mike!!!!!

  • By Ronald from Ellisville MS USA on Monday, September 29, 2014
  • Pros: Overall good DC quality
  • Cons: Bad noisy microphone
  • Review: After I gave the headset a poor review for the noisy mike, I discovered that many others have done the same, and that there is a retrofit mike available for $77. I recommend that David Clark give every purchaser of the H10-30 a complimentary microphone to make the headset comparable to its other great products. I am holding my breath, so hurry.

Too much background noise

  • By Ronald from Ellisville MS USA on Monday, September 29, 2014
  • Pros: Overall good quality
  • Cons: Bad background noise
  • Review: I like this headset fine except that the microphone admits far too much high pitch background noise when the user speaks over the intercom or transmits over the radio. I would not buy it again. If I had not already written my name on it with a Sharpie, I would return it. I have another DC that cost a little more but has a different mike that works a lot better. I wish I had spent a little more.

Disappointed

  • By A Customer from Florida on Sunday, September 16, 2012
  • Review: Bought this as a new student as soon as I decided to stay with it. Flew around 70 hours with it. Picks up lots of cabin vent noise. Mic boom doesn't stay put, needs continual tightening; ditto for head size adjustment.

    But the worst was yesterday when I was test-flying a plane I was thinking of buying. The Headset began generating a ton of static and I could hear the owner over the intercom but couldn't hear ATC at all! I thought something was wrong with the jacks in the plane, so I let the owner land it from the right seat. After we landed and swapped headsets, I learned it was my almost new DC! I hope they make this right.

  • By Charlie from West Chester PA USA on Wednesday, October 5, 2011
