UFQ A28 ANR Aviation Headset Active Noise Reduction-Comes with Great ANR Performance,Clear Communication,Also with bxxx Grade Hi-Fi Sound for Music and Free with a Headset Bag,Comfortable,Durable

I bought a set of these for crew assignments during search and rescue training and missions. I’m now using them as a student pilot and have not had any issues with their quality at all. They are comfortable during longer flights even is you are wearing hearing aids. The noise canceling function works well, even if not up to the level of the Bose which is four to five times the cost, and have been a game changer for my ability to communicate in the aircraft.

I can't really compare them to much since I am just learning to fly, but compared to the older David Clark set that I was supplied with by school for my first few weeks, these are fantastic! Lighter, more comfortable, and I could hear everything! The first day I had them on I was quite impressed with how much clearer everything was and when I was done with my lesson I found that I had forgotten to turn the noise cancelling on! Ha! Once turned on, I was stunned! I was thinking how I should wear these to bed at night to ensure a peaceful sleep! I had originally been thinking this would be a starter pair that I would later upgrade and keep these for eventual passengers, but I now know, when it comes time to buy a second pair for that purpose, I will just buy another set of these.

Like others, I bought this set as it is the cheapest ANR headset, other big name PNR sets are about the same price, and I wanted ANR without spending $700-1000. I am a student pilot and have had 4 flights with these so far in Pipers and Cessnas and they do the job. No problems hearing my instructor or ATC, and they hear me loud and clear. With squelch adjustment sorted and adjusting volume individually on each ear piece, you can fine tune your volume. Only noticeable downside is it seems the earpieces sit low, (I have a medium head) and I can’t really adjust them high enough because the leather for the top pad is too wide. I may just cut the top pad to make it work. They are much lighter than they look. Best $300 new ANR headset you can buy, since it is also the only $300 new ANR headset. I would say these are right in the middle of the road, maybe a little above average considering they are the lowest priced new ANR headsets you can get.

I have been flying for over 50 years and am a commercial pilot. When I started flying, headsets were not common. We used the overhead speaker and a handheld mike. Since the mid 1980's I have used David Clark headsets and my original is still my spare. DC completely rebuilt it for me a few years ago at an attractive price. I currently use the DC One-X ENC. Make no mistake, this is not a replacement in quality for my DC. BUT, it works very well, especially on ANR, the primary reason I purchased it. Both the mike and the speakers are very clear in a noisy single. The ad description was unclear if the A28 could be used left or right, but I was pleased to discover the boom mike does swivel to allow either a left or right handed mike use just like the newer A7. Even after a 3 hour flight they were comfortable and not pinching. The headset bag is a plus. It is not top quality, but gets the job done. This headset does not fold down compact like some others, so the larger bag size is necessary. If you are on a tight budget and want a good ANR headset, especially at this under $300 price point, this is a good option. It is now my go to headset for my right seat passenger over my older DC. At this price point you can afford to outfit the 4 place airplane for the price of 1 Boese. What's not to like? Update: I just discovered that in a high perf single on the tarmac with the windows open, there is a fault that sounds like a loud boom noise in sequence with the prop. It appears to be caused by air compression into the cabin. As soon as the windows were closed, the issue was gone. At first I thought the headset had an issue, but it performed as expected for the remainder of the flight, once the windows were closed.

I considered several headsets before I made my purchase. The low cost of the UFQ A28 made it seem like a good choice, but I was a little nervous about an unknown brand with very few reviews. I took a chance and I'm very happy with my purchase. I've had the headset for several months now and I have used them on several flights. I'm still on the original set of AA batteries (which I don't think were included with my purchase - if they were, I just put in some Energizers instead of whatever came with the headset). The Active Noise Reduction (ANR) works surprisingly well for a headset in this price range. My flying club has a Bose Aviation X ANR headset that I used to use routinely, but my A28 works almost just as well, so I don't use the club's headset anymore. It came with a nice bag. It smelled a little funny for the first few days, but it's odorless now. I post a lot of aviation videos to YouTube under the username dan_der_flieger. You can get a good sense of how well the headset works by listening to the audio in several of my most recent videos. I've also added a short video to this review. You can't hear the ANR in the video (that magic happens in the ear cups and I get the audio into my camera through a cable before the ANR does anything with it). But you DO get a feel for how well the microphone works compared to the cheap headset my son is using. The mic is just as important as the ANR, in my opinion.

I did not expect a Bose, but expected it to work... well it did the first few hours... I thought it was great and I’d really “beat the system” getting it for so little. But then it started not catching first word of my call, no matter how I adjusted mic and squelch. Then periodic noise of its own would come through, kinda high pitched buzz. I found them tighter on my ears regardless of adjustment, compared with my PNR cheap Kore’s that I love. I finished the 40 hour trip with my Kore’s that I brought just in case, glad I did... maybe a bum pair, idk... but I returned them and going to stick with the old PNRs for now.

+ Bra pris + Skön passform + Bra passiv dämpning - Klumpig ANR låda. - Har råkat ut för att ANR-dämpningen hamnar i någon slags självsvängning och brummar på rejält. Botas oftast med en omstart. Slutsats: Det positiva överväger det negativa. Kanske köper ett extra till passagerare.
