WHAT THE AVIATION PROS SAY

❝

You won't go wrong if you choose the KA-1. Communication was clear with no distortion. The KA-1 checks all the right boxes for its intended purpose as a high-quality, budget-friendly pilot tool.

Adam Fuller

Chief Pilot, Private Air Inc.

❝

My students ask where they can find a quality headset without breaking the bank. Without a thought, my answer is KORE headsets, every time

Nick Smith

Part Time Pilot Owner & Instructor

❝

The KA-1 has proven to be one of the most durable and cost-effective options we've tested. Previously, we were replacing headsets every few months. With the KA-1, we now rarely need to replace the entire unit.

Daniel Thomson Jr.

Buy this Headset!

What are you waiting for? I have found the best PNR headset money can buy! These are so comfortable and the clarity is great! I have used them for over 30 hours now in an airplane without any issues. I even have them hooked up to my iPad to record the audio of my flights and this confirms the great audio quality. I would not hesitate to buy again, and in fact, I am buying another one for a passenger.

Student Pilot Gives It 5 Stars!

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this headset performed. I'm a student pilot. As soon as I plugged these into the aircraft, they sounded just as good as my flight instructor's Bose headset. I'll definitely recommend these to other pilots.

Really comfortable headset with clear mic and great sound.

This is my first flight headset and it’s really great for the price. The ear cups are really comfortable and the mic is really clear. It’s noise cancellation level is pretty good as well. It doesn’t feel tight or anything uncomfortable. The volume can be adjusted on both sides, has a perfect level of sound, and the sound is really clear. I definitely recommend this headset.

Good value and savings!

Very comfortable, good quality, and good amount of noise cancellation in cessna 150. First time using these during flight training and they did not disappoint. Will update my review if anything goes wrong, but so far I am happy with my purchase and savings!

Great headset for student pilots

I have used these for 12+months now, about 100 hours, as a casual GA pilot. The passive noise reduction/cancellation (no batteries required) is impressive. I wear wire frame glasses and they still comfortably seal around my ears. I did buy the cloth "socks", as covers, and that made a huge improvement in eliminating any perspiration, and improving the comfort. These are a great value, and include an AUX input for any source, in addition to the aircraft plugs.

Great headset for student pilots

These here are a fine piece of electronics. Great quality sound and clear mic for comms. Not too tight a squeeze and comfy up top. Great price and will definitely work for years to come as manufacturing and crafting is legit.

Outstanding price on great headphones

My last pair of headsets were "Top of the line" Bose with "active noise cancelling". They were okay but for $1,200 I was not impressed. I bought these for less than 1/4th the price and LOVE THEM! They don't have electronic noise cancelling, but the padding around the ears does a great job. The mike and speakers are crystal clear. Never going back to Bose.

Great Headset and Better Price!

Great headset for what I’m doing! I’ve been working on my PPL for the past year and have been using these headsets the entire time. They are comfortable, stylish, great sound quality, and the price is right. I fly about 6 hours a month in a Piper Cherokee and have had great experience with them.
