Review: FAST SHIPPING, THANK YOU ! - FAST SHIPPING, THANK YOU !
Review: Low-priced headset that works great? Say it isn't so! - I have had this headset for a year now, and honestly it is a great headset! I have flown in several aircraft and weather conditions, and have found that this headset works great! Yes, it is just a PNR headset. But that is okay! For clarity, I have used the low-priced David Clark H10 and a Telex, both PNR headsets. Also, I have used a Lightspeed ANR headset. First off, comfort. On long cross-country travel, I found the Kore to exceed my expectations both in fit and noise reduction. The padded top and the gel ear seal gave me greater comfort than either the David Clark or the Telex by far. The key to this is that the headset adjusted quite well for my round noggin. Now, this may be just because it is awesome, or like brands of motorcycle helmets one brand is better for your individual head shape than another. However I never got the Telex to fit right, and the DC headset was okay but not great as I have pretty friggin' large ears. The only negative I would have to say comfort wise is that the gel seals are good for cooler weather, but the covers (sold separately) are a must for me for warmer weather, as sweaty and sticky ear cups are not my cup of tea. But that alone will not cause me to lower my rating. Sound quality is also good, definitely beating the Telex. While it will not compare to ANR headsets in terms of noise canceling, it really makes a difference and allows me to hear the engine noise but still have a good conversation with my passenger. Plus, no batteries AND I did not spend $900 or more on a perfectly good but expensive headset! I am hoping to try this out in an open cockpit this summer, and will update my review for that purpose if that time comes. The only other thing that I realize I have never done as I am writing this is use the 3.5mm audio jack. If I ever decide to try this, I will update that as well. I think my only real negative is that the carrying case for the KA-1 really does only fit it and its cables, and quite snugly. Personally, I would prefer just a smidge more spacing in the case. But again, this is a very very minor inconvenience and definitely does not warrant lowering the rating at all. Overall, this headset has been so good for me that I have recommended this to new students, flight veterans looking for a low-cost headset for them or a passenger, or any pilot that I come across. Really. Again, each brand fits one's head differently, so my experience may not be the end-all be-all. However for me, this trusty, comfortable, and low-cost headset won me over from my first use, and has kept me pleasantly satisfied.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this aviation headset have active noise cancellation (ANC)?**
A: No, the KA-1 model offers passive noise reduction with an NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) of 24dB, providing a quieter cockpit experience.

**Q: "I can only hear on one side of the ear?"**
A: If the plane has a "Mono" system and the headset is in "Stereo" setting, the headset will only output in one ear. Switch in the middle of the cord needs to be changed to "Mono". Only a "Stereo" system in "Stereo" setting will output in both ears.

**Q: "Microphone is intermittent. There is a delay in communicating."**
A: Check first that the squelch on the plane's system is tuned properly to match the noise level. It needs to be adjusted lower if it's not transmitting the first words.

**Q: Does the headset fit comfortably over glasses?**
A: Yes, the headset fits comfortably over glasses.

**Q: Does the headset require batteries, and if so, how long do they last?**
A: The headset does NOT require batteries. It features passive noise cancellation through high-density acoustic foam earcups and gel ear seals.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not bad for the price 🚁
*by J***A on 13 July 2025*

Decent quality headset for the price, I use this for when I take passengers with me. Pretty basic no Bluetooth or ANR but works great. The flexible mic boom was one of the major reasons for me purchasing this. In the R22 (Helicopter) you can hear great even with doors off and mic does a decent job of blocking the background noise. For myself as a pilot I use the Lightspeed Zulu 3 with ANR but for passengers this works just fine and was a comfortable fit for them to wear.
