We carry an excellent selection of new and used aviation headsets from Bose, David Clark and Lightspeed for student pilots and seasoned pilots. All of our refurbished headsets undergo thorough bench testing to ensure that they operate perfectly. They are thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, and where necessary, consumable parts such as mic cover, ear cushion, and head cushion are replaced with brand new parts.
