Review on 🎧 KORE AVIATION KA-1 Gel Ear Seal PNR Pilot Aviation Headset with MP3 Support and Carrying Case - Premium Quality by Luis Tuazon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Student Pilot - Great quality and cheap

I'm a student pilot with only about 10 hours of flying under my belt, so I'm by no means an expert when it comes to telling the difference between good and bad headphones. I will say this though: for a sub-$200 headset, it works like a charm. In order to put as much money as possible into education, my decision to buy this product was simple: high-priced and cheap. The build is nice and solid, the gel pads block the sound very well, and I didn't have any issues with speaker or microphone clarity. The headphones setting lock buttons are also a fantastic feature. I couldn't imagine a cheaper and better quality headset, when I turn the clock. Of course, I have no intention of replacing them any time soon. Update: I now have over 100 hours of training and am working on my tool rating. I've made the big leap to the Bose A20s and before I say anything else, the Kore headset is still a 5 star headset for me. Other than that, the difference is huge, as expected from a $1,000 headset. I won't waste time comparing them because it's useless. One costs $1,000 and you get an equivalent level of quality. Another costs less than $200 and you get a level of quality that far exceeds the value. I'm just saying that because now that I'm using and loving the A20, I've also come to appreciate the Kore headset even more than before. I've used the Kore headset through and through and loved every moment. It blocked noise in the noisy Cessna 172 I trained with and later in the Diamond DA20. It now serves as a backup headset and is also occasionally used when picking up passengers. It's rock solid and offers sound clarity, noise reduction, microphone quality and comfort. Thank you for this amazing product Kore!
