We couldn't wait to fly with this headset and it didn't let us down. Sigtronics developed this stereo, active noise reduction headset to their high standards for comfort and noise cancelling. The headset has thick, soft gel earseals and headpad that keep head tension low and sound suppression high. The active noise cancelling system adds an additional 16-18 dB of noise reduction. The S-AR has another great feature - it's very reasonably priced. Operates on one 9 volt battery (included), has fully articulating electret boom mike, and dual volume controls. Passive NRR 24dB, 17 oz. stereo. Three year warranty. Made in USA.

Pros
Headset does great at reducing cockpit noise and microphone picks up my voice very well.
Cons
Wind still causes distortion even with the microphone windscreen on. Took quite a bit of tweaking with the volume controls on the headset and on the plane to get the sound right. Instruction manual recommends turning the volume on the headset all the way up which is far too loud. I actually use mine on the minimum setting and still hear quite well.
General Comments
Once you get everything set right it's a great headset at a great value. I'm really pleased with the noise reduction and look forward to taking it on many flights to come.

Pros
I upgraded from my previous headsets which I had for about 17 years that I got when I was a student pilot.
This is a great headset. I wore it the first time for almost two hours and it is so comfortable, I forgot I had it on my head.
The ANR is wonderful. It really changes flying by not being bothered by engine noise.
Comfortable, lightweight, and great features make this for a great headset.
Cons
Not inexpensive. Not entry level.
