As I am growing tired of listening to my instructor shout at me over the
engine noise (perhaps if I didn't bounce so much on landing, he'd stop
shouting :-), I am currently looking into headsets. I know
about all the discount places in Flying, but primarily need user feedback 
on brand experience. Headsets seem to be divided into the "heavy" noise
suppressor type (David Clark) and the lightweight Telex 950 type. The
D.C.s seem to be preferred by helicopter pilots (which I may yet become),
though the possible fatigue factor of weight may come into play. The D.C.s
are also much more expensive, especially in pairs (as an aside, I wonder
why a $25 headset and $40 mike cost $185 when put together...). Is the
extra cost worth it? Has anyone out there tried both for long periods?
Thanks in advance!
