(After many years of promising to start but never quite being able to afford it!) I have been told that it would be a good idea to get my own headset. I am on a bit of a tight budget but think I would be better spending a little bit more to get a decent set. I have narrowed it down to either a Sennheiser HME95 or a flightcom 5DX (Both passive headets). Does anyone have views on the above, or indeed, any recommendations for other sets? Thanks in advance    Report

Over the years I have spent hours gathering information on things like training, aircraft etc, but never thought to 'research' items such as headsets. The H10-13.4 is a bit more than I was looking to spend, but recommendations are very important and I think I will take yours and stretch my budget a bit. Thanks again      Report

If so have you used them along side varying makes/models and were they fully compatible? I read they come with a lifetime garantee on workmanship and parts, so they can't be too bad for £100..    Report

I've bid on a few 10.30s but not won one yet, I will keep at it though I might get a bargain aswell one day. :)    Report

To name a few; WW2 Battle of Britain B-Type Flying Helmet - £200 (Worth £400+), Gibson '57 Les Paul Goldtop - £1,500 (Worth £2,000+). Dell Rack Servers for around £150-£200 when they are worth £500+. I just seem to be at the right place at the right time. My fiancee collects First Edition/Print - Charles Dickens/George Elliot/Thomas Hardy Novels and i've managed to get them at really good prices. I'm sad, I know! ;o)    Report
