New UFQ A6 II ANR Aviation Headset-The Lightest ANR Aviation Headset in The World More Comfortable Clear Communication Great Sound Quality for Music with MP3 Input Free with A Bag Now

The headset came exactly as described. Nicely packaged; included bluetooth adapter. An included USB charger brought the battery to full charge fairly quickly.Upon first use about 3 weeks after I'd charged the battery, I found the battery dead again. I plugged it into a charger and all was well.Generally, the ANR is fair to good, but the passive characteristics are very poor. There is just not enough sound absorbing material in the ear cups. This makes the headset light, but not quiet. Clamping pressure is medium to high.For the same money, I think a good passive headset is a better buy. I'll keep this one as a passenger headset, but will go back to my trusty old passive DC.

I bought these to try, looking for a light weight option for flying small jets. Ultimately, I wasn't happy with the audio quality, and returned them. The biggest problem I had was that the microphone isn't loud enough for other people to hear you well, and there is a lot of background noise when transmitting. I had to really adjust the squelch to make these work at all. The microphone doesn't seem sensitive enough to pick up speech at a normal level, and I had to talk extra loud to talk to the other pilots I flew with, even after adjusting squelch and side tone on the panel. The noise cancelling works ok, but as others have said, these just seemed very delicate for daily use. I tried them in a few different aircraft (KA350 and C560) and just couldn't keep them based on the audio problems. If you're just using them for kids in the back seat or something they might get you by, but I'd not buy them for a pilot who is going to be transmitting. With a MUCH better microphone installed, these would be a pretty good option. I liked their light weight and ANR was pretty good for the size and weight of the headset. It's not comparable to a $1,000 headset, and I would want more noise protection if flying piston aircraft. They are very comfortable. The volume sliders are large and exposed, so they get caught on things as you fly, moving the volume without your intent. The internal rechargeable battery is a nice feature. You could use any external cell phone backup battery to plug these into and really extend the ANR time. They've got some nice features, but the transmitting problems were the biggest downfall. For the money, I'd look elsewhere. The company now sells the A7 which maybe worked out some of the faults of the A6. Perhaps I'd try the A7, but it is more expensive too.

Customer service is a 5 star see below. You're sacrificing durable construction for lightweight which do you want? Ear-cups are smaller than usual, but I have a big head and probably bigger that average ears and the fit is comfortable.Negatives:-First one I received had a short when the ANR was turned on which caused the input and output to go in and out.-Headband has no padding and gets uncomfortable after an hour of so (this is where they lost a star). I took one off and old headset problem solved.Positives:-Great customer service they sent me a new one when I told them of the issue mentioned above. Took a week or less for delivery both times(from China).-Super light weight.-PNR pretty good despite small ear-cups.-ANR is just as good as my other ANR (Faro), sorry don't have Bose or Lightspeed to compare to. Charges by USB, I've flown over 8 hours so far on one charge not sure how long it will last yet.-Can't beat the price.

The good news: it does work, with clear reception and transmission. The bad news: the ANR does work but it's minimal; I still need to use foam earplugs for noise reduction, UNDERNEATH this headset, when flying Cessna 150s, 172s, & 182s. "You get what you pay for." Fair enough, I can't complain at this price point. Just know this ain't no Bose...

I'm B737 captain. "Y" cord to earphones are thin/fragile. Bose & DC have better single cord. Overall wire length too short (can't reach gear handle). Mic is NOT noise canceling, so not effective with open mic.

Noise reduction nearly as good my $700 David Clarks! (Flying a Cirrus SR22, which is fairly loud.) We've only used them a few times, but my wife and 5-yr-old daughter found them comfortable enough to wear the entire 3.5-hour flight. No bluetooth, but you can plug in any device (iPad, iPhone, iPod, etc) for aux audio. My daughter was able to watch/listen to movies, games, etc on her iPad. We love how light they are, and they fold nicely into a compact carrying case, provided. Batteries are built-in and charge via USB. I agree with the other review about lack of padding on the headband. I remedied this by buying neoprene luggage handle wraps and wrapping them around the headband. To make it fit my daughter's little head, I added a section of pipe insulation to the headband and wrapped that in the neoprene luggage handle wraps. Perfect! It's lighter than any of the kid’s aviation headsets out there, and it has ANR, too! Sound quality is not quite as good as my David Clarks, but still plenty good enough for passengers, especially considering the price. I can't speak to the long-term durability, but so far, no problems.
