UFQ A28 ANR Aviation Headset Delux Gray Color-with Great ANR Active Noise Reduction Performance,Clear Communication,Also with Hi-Fi Sound for Music and Free with a Headset Bag,Comfortable,Durable

If you’re looking for a much less expensive alternative to a Bose or David Clark aviation headset, this is the headset for you! I didn’t feel comfortable spending over a thousand dollars on a headset after just a few flights so I decided to try these out and I’m very happy I did. They’re a quarter of the price of Bose or DC headsets with no compromise in style or quality. The fit is perfect, too.The ANR provides a huge difference and is the exact same as expensive headsets I’ve borrowed. I’ve had the ANR on for some 30 hours and haven’t had to change the batteries yet. The PNR is also super effective if you ever forget to click ANR on or your batteries run out.Crystal clear talking to ATC and in the plane and the sound quality of music thru the aux is also excellent. The mic is flexible and stays in place. The foam on the mic is high quality, too. The volume adjustment on each ear is also a great feature.The case is lightweight with a metal zipper and does its job, and the zipper pocket on the front is perfect to store a few extra batteries.I had a problem with the stereo/mono setting (my instructor blames a few hard landings…) so I emailed Jack through the email provided on the pamphlet from the packaging and he responded within minutes with the exact solution to my problem. Not only was I impressed with the quick, professional customer service provided, I was relieved to be able to continue using this headset!It’s no secret that aviation is an expensive hobby or career path – save a few bucks where you can! This headset is just as good as those that are quadruple the price.

I bought this headset as a back up when my Zulus had to be sent back for warranty on one of the speakers. I was extremely happy with these as a student pilot and flying a lot I couldn’t be happier and to be honest there worked just aswell as the Zulu headset I had purchased for twice the money. If you’re looking a less expensive headset with anr then I would go with these. Only have about 6 hours on them so far can’t speak on the longevity of them but as of now I’m regretting not buying these over spending twice as much on the Zulu’s. Will update once I have some more hours with them.

I bought this headset after reading a few comments comparing it to Bose - seriously not sure how honest those reviews were - I own two Bose headsets. After it arrived, I used it once and tried the ANR active noise cancelling feature, the result was the worst I've ever seen, it was a joke! it sounded like connecting a string to two cups and speak through it! voice was extremely distorted, tunnel type echoes, and hard to hear and be heard by the co-pilot. I thought it was just my airplane comm system, so I tried it on my friend's airplane as well, had exactly the same result. Turning off the ANR mode though, and you get a normal average passive noise reduction (PNR) headset. The earpiece forms are quite comfortable than a cheap headset and provide a little better than average seal for a passive noise cancelling, there was no voice distortion the ANR mode off. DON'T buy this for Active Noice Reduction! it's quite honestly an embarrassment to think that some UFQ technicians test the ANR mode and thought it was good enough to market the headset as an ANR headset. This is just a regular headset with comfortable forms! I returned the headset to Amazon right away.

I can’t say enough about this inexpensive ANR headset. As a 73 y/o student pilot I have some hearing loss and a good ANR headset is vital for me. My CFI lend me a pair of high quality Dave Clark headsets and I wasn’t at all impressed by them. I was very happy with a borrowed set of Bose A-20’s but they cost over $1000. This UFQ A28 headset is perfect and works for me exactly like the Bose A-20 at 1/4 th the cost (it actually uses the same speakers as found in the A-20). Perfect fit, very light-weight and comfortable, easily positionable but firm mic, individual ear volume controls, input jack for iphone, and both passive and active noise reduction with the flip of a switch. I can’t speak to their longevity yet because they’re still new for me, but I am delighted with the quality, and certainly the price, of this aviation grade headset.

I've had 2 Bose headsets, so I can only compare it to that. Having said that, they are not bad overall and at 1/5th the price. The mic could do better in picking up speech. but so can i say for Bose mics that failed me 2 times....midair. the rubber sleeves on the wires that are at the point of contact on the headsets and the noise cancellation box could be better attached(not sealed well). Over quality .....not bad. So far i have only used them once .

I am working my way through my Private Pilot's License training and picked these up after a few lessons borrowing some from my instructor. Having the Active Noise Reduction at a fraction of the price of the Lightspeed or Bose headsets was a VERY nice in comparison to the standard headset I was wearing. I thought they would reduce the noise just a little more, but the difference is still night and day when you turn the ANR on and off. They work perfectly and being able to make volume adjustments on the ears is a nice feature as well. My Instructor doesn't have any trouble hearing me and so far I've had no issues communicating with ATC either. Should I continue my flying as a Career I will likely look to upgrade eventually, but I would highly recommend these to any beginner aviators or most certainly as a set to have when you take up your friends and family.

I’ve owned this headset for just over a year. It’s a comfortable headset and was pleased with it overall. In the last few months though, when I activate the noise cancellation feature, I get a terrible feedback sound in only one of the earpieces. The feedback sound is bad enough, you can’t use the noise cancellation at all. Giving it two stars, because you’re probably paying at least an extra $100 for that feature and if it goes bad as quickly as mine did, it’s not worth it. Also can’t seem to get a hold of the seller/manufacturer to even find out what I can do about it.
