Sennheiser HMEC 250 NoiseGard Pilot Headset
I bought this headset when I started my PPL training, and it's still going strong. It has a couple hundred hours on it and I haven't had to replace the ear pads yet. (It came with extra ear pads and mic cover)<br /><br />I would definitely recommend this headset for any pilot flying between 1-30 hours a month. It has solid noise-cancelling performance for it's price range.
