Rugged. Air RA900 Premium Stereo Aviation Pilot Headset for Flight Instructors Private Pilots Features Clear Hear Speakers Noise Canceling Microphone Gel Ear Seals and Free Headset Bag

I bought this headset a couple years ago to be used as a passenger headset, but I have used it myself a couple of times just to see how it is, and this is by far the best starter headset you can get for your money. If you are a student pilot that needs a headset, but doesn't want to spend big in case if you don't stick to flight training, I would highly recommend this, as well as those who are just looking for a decent passenger headset. There isn't a lot of bells and whistles to it, but it is fairly comfortable, and there is also an aux port on it, which is super nice to see.

Very nice looking and very comfortable headset. I bought them last part of July '22 and used them very recently. The microphone did not work, sound was sporadic. Very disappointed with this headset and microphone.UPDATE #2: Flew today for 2.5 hours. The headset worked flawlessly. Both hearing ATC comms and voice transmission had zero problems. I suspected this might be the case and that the original problem may have been related to a bad connection in the plane. But, at that point I just couldn't tell which. As such, I've changed my rating to 5 stars and highly recommend them. On this note, the pilot I flew with today asked whether I liked the Rugged Air headset. I told him the same. Highly recommended. They are as comfortable, if not more so, as David Clark's.UPDATE #1: I tested them yesterday in the C172 and have changed my rating to 3 stars because the Mic seemed to work as I could transmit and hear myself through the ear covers. There was no traffic at the airport so I did not hear anyone but myself. A couple radio checks yielded no replies, but I could hear myself perfectly. So, at this point I still have no definitive complete detail to provide. The C172 will not be ready and available again until after the period for returning and exchanging it. So, at this point it’s a gamble. All that said, this is an exceptionally comfortable headset. As far as comfort is concerned they are clearly on par with David Clarks. On the 23d I’ll post a complete review and if warranted change my star rating. At this point Im remaining hopeful and optimistic.

Great beginner set for $100. Will need to upgrade eventually of course.

This is not your cheap headset, this is a really comfortable to wear headset. It was worth the extra $$ and yet not over the top... it has noticeable noise reduction over the cheap ones, plus the comfort of the more expensive ones.I would buy them again and will probably by a second one for my wife.

I bought these a few months back and have been using them in a Cessna 172. While these are not ANR quality, they do reduce noise levels substantially. Also the mic is very good and both air traffic control and my instructor on check out rides comment on the quality of the transmissions.I have worn these for up to 2 hours with no discomfort. How they'll do in a warbird remains to be seen.

Works like a charm. Loud crisp sound. Dual plugs. Gel ears fit snug. I put the gel covers on and they worked great too.

Better than expected. Quiet enough and the RA900 has the quality and sturdiness to it. I’m very satisfied I got them. The box it shipped in was torn open I’m not sure if it was because of the transporting. But after testing them out it’s perfect. Comfortable, Functional, has mono and stereo option but it’s not a BIG difference in sound but a little.

Good for starter headset, not for experienced pilots or those who want to spend a lot of time in the air.Pretty good for coms. The ear cushions came off on the second trip. It’s good if you need to replace them, not good if all they did was brush against something and pop off.The noise cancellation is not great at all. Picked up the engine a lot of the time.You get what you pay for.
