Headsets For Women

[Scott c]

Has anyone know of an ANC headset that fits a lady's head better than the standard Bose or Zulu?

I use a David Clark H10-13Y headset, a youth size version of the H10-13.4. I've used it to fly Cessna's and the Sport Cub and the noise level isn't bad at all. It's priced in the $300 neighborhood, and it's nice not having a battery to change out every few flights!

I have used the original Lightspeed Zulu (ship powered version, no batteries) and asked them about the fit for smaller people at OSH a few years ago. They gave me a much taller top pad for it that just clips in place which puts the band of the headset higher up above their head. Works for some people and if you ask nicely they may give you one. It is easy to swap back and forth, not tools required.

My wife and I both fly and we have Bose A20's. She and I have been very happy with them. It is a great quality headset and in our opinion, they are the best noise cancelling headsets out there. We tried all of the major brands out and they were the product we decided to go with. I have a big head and they fit quite comfortably and she has a much smaller head than I and she says they fit very nicely.
