Rugged. Air RA900 Aviation Headset for Flight Instructors & Private Pilots

I bought this headset a couple years ago to be used as a passenger headset, but I have used it myself a couple of times just to see how it is, and this is by far the best starter headset you can get for your money. If you are a student pilot that needs a headset, but doesn't want to spend big in case if you don't stick to flight training, I would highly recommend this, as well as those who are just looking for a decent passenger headset. There isn't a lot of bells and whistles to it, but it is fairly comfortable, and there is also an aux port on it, which is super nice to see.

Better than expected. Quiet enough and the RA900 has the quality and sturdiness to it. I’m very satisfied I got them. The box it shipped in was torn open I’m not sure if it was because of the transporting. But after testing them out it’s perfect. Comfortable, Functional, has mono and stereo option but it’s not a BIG difference in sound but a little.

Great Pilot Headset for Student Pilot, quality for your Money.

The headset is of good quality. It is a little heavy but for the money savings I can definitely overlook the few ounces of extra weight. The gell ear pads are extremely comfortable. The sound is good and t by e mic is clear. The packaging could have been better. The headset was shipped in its bag and then in a paper mailing envelope. It would have been better protected in a box. They state that there is a 7 year warranty on this product. However there was no paperwork or registration information information for the product. I would have given this a 5 star rating if it had the paperwork to go with it and was packaged a little better for shipping. Other than that I am satisfied with the headset.

Very nice looking and very comfortable headset. I bought them last part of July '22 and used them very recently. The microphone did not work, sound was sporadic. Very disappointed with this headset and microphone. UPDATE #2: Flew today for 2.5 hours. The headset worked flawlessly. Both hearing ATC comms and voice transmission had zero problems. I suspected this might be the case and that the original problem may have been related to a bad connection in the plane. But, at that point I just couldn't tell which. As such, I've changed my rating to 5 stars and highly recommend them. On this note, the pilot I flew with today asked whether I liked the Rugged Air headset. I told him the same. Highly recommended. They are as comfortable, if not more so, as David Clark's. UPDATE #1: I tested them yesterday in the C172 and have changed my rating to 3 stars because the Mic seemed to work as I could transmit and hear myself through the ear covers. There was no traffic at the airport so I did not hear anyone but myself. A couple radio checks yielded no replies, but I could hear myself perfectly. So, at this point I still have no definitive complete detail to provide. The C172 will not be ready and available again until after the period for returning and exchanging it. So, at this point it’s a gamble. All that said, this is an exceptionally comfortable headset. As far as comfort is concerned they are clearly on par with David Clarks. On the 23d I’ll post a complete review and if warranted change my star rating. At this point Im remaining hopeful and optimistic.

I am a student pilot, the school I go to has David Clark headsets to use but I looked into getting my own. These seemed to be a great choice and my expectations were met! I feel that these are even better quality than the headsets I've used that are easily twice as expensivd. Not only are they very comfortable but the quality of the mic and speakers are amazing! Noice cancellation is noticeable as well. 10/10 would recommend these, no need to spend more money unless you want to pay for the brand. Excellent headset, time will tell if they last the test of time though

Worked great for the first 25 hours of flight time. At 25.1 the adjustment nut decided to leave and the headset came apart mid flight and made them unusable for the remainder.

First day of use. So far works great. Nice snug fit around the ears and blocks the outside noise well. ATC had no problem with the mic quality. Great buy so far.

Buen producto, tiene buen sonido, se acomoda bien y son cómodos. Aísla bien el sonido exterior de la cabina. Cabe mencionar que apenas los he usado por un par de horas continuas, pero hasta ahora bastante bien. No he utilizado la función de conectar el celular o música. Calidad buena acorde con el precio.
