Everything
apparently when your trying to buy luxury goods. With the
flight school's headsets making my ears bleed after every session, and
I mean my ear canals would still be hurting days after the lesson, while sometimes not even fully recovering by the next lesson, I
decided it was high time I bought my own headset. Of course
having no idea and wanting a good decent and comfortable pair which
would protect my ears at a reasonable price, otherwise there really
wouldn't be a point buying my own, how do I choose?
1st
stop Internet. And of course my flight instructor too.
One name that kept popping
up as old reliable was David Clark, the you can't miss I stand out a
mile away green headsets. At nearly £200 for
the cheapest pair I wasn't sure, and it was a big(gish) purchase for
someone you're not sure. I say biggish as alone the headsets
seem expensive, but in comparison with the whole learning to fly
shenanigans, the cost really isn't that expensive.
So I did the next best thing without too much compromise,
eBay. Surely enough there were quite a lot of second hand
sellers online. After several more weeks of deliberation I did
it, put in a bid for a better model but obviously several years old
secondhand headset. Having had a very bad experience of fraud
with auctions before I was extremely hesitant with this buy! Of
course I am talking about a fraud that took place over 10 years ago, and
I know myself programs and processes have moved on, a lot!
Hello I use mobile banking apps, like that was even conceived of
10 years ago. But that negative image remains. So after
deciding to just go for it, with a little help from the dangerously
convenient eBay app, and a frantic last 5 seconds bid to win the headset,
I received my new(ish) headsets by the end of the week. Too
convenient, no wonder my friend is a shopaholic! It's been around
8 weeks now and I'm still absolutely 100% satisfied with my purchase.
The headset is like new, if there's scratches on them I really don't
see any. The headset itself are so comfortable, it's easily
adjustable, the headset helps to protect my ears, not so much white
noise, there's a clip for the wires which doesn't sound all that
exciting but it's quite important as I've caught the wires on so many
occasions cause they're dare I say, a little too long. The ear
and mic covers are brand new, the headset is clean and to complete it
there's a bag thrown in to help store the headsets. What more
can a girl ask for?
As
for the brand itself, be it on the news, tv programs, even down to
the film I saw last night, I keep spotting those very unique green
coloured headsets. Something I definitely wouldn't have even
noted a few months ago!
