Headset Guide

Your headset may come with either a single or dual volume control located on one or both ear domes. Rotate the knob to adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
If your headset includes a mono/stereo switch located in the Y-block on the main headset cable, select the setting that matches your equipment. Use the stereo position for stereo audio sources. For all other applications, use the mono position. Refer to your aircraft radio or general aviation intercom manual for guidance on the correct setting.
Your headset is equipped with either a full-flex or wire boom that can be bent and positioned for accurate microphone placement. Adjust the boom so the microphone sits at the corner of your mouth, about ⅛ inch from your lips. Do not force the boom past its natural stopping point.
Loosen the oversized thumb nut on the side of the headset by hand. Adjust the headband up or down until the ear domes fit comfortably over your ears. Tighten the thumb nut to lock the position.
Replace the ear seals if they become worn, torn, or hardened over time. To install a new ear seal, insert the lip of the seal into the groove of the ear dome. Hold the dome firmly and keep the top of the ear seal in place while working the lip into the groove around the dome. You may need to pull slightly to ensure the seal fits tightly.
Replace the headband if it becomes worn, torn, or hardened. To replace it, grasp the top liner and gently open the Velcro seam to separate it from the inner strip. Remove the old headband and insert the new one.

General Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help keep your headset performing properly and looking like new.

Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, and do not submerge any part of the headset in water.

Use a clean, damp cloth to gently wipe the ear cups and head pad. For heavily soiled areas, use a mild solution of water and household liquid detergent.

To clean the microphone and plugs, wipe them with a clean cloth lightly dampened with alcohol.

Ear seals and microphone muffs are replaceable and should be changed as needed when they become worn.

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.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

Everything you need to know before you order

Everything you need to start flying right out of the box. Your order includes:

  • - KA-1 Aviation Headset
  • - Premium Pilot Flight Bag ($90 value)
  • - Headset Carrying Bag
  • - Extra Microphone Muff
  • - 5-Year Warranty
  • - Free U.S. Shipping

Try the KA-1 risk-free. If you're not completely satisfied within 30 days, simply contact us at help@koreheadset.com for a full refund. No questions asked and no restocking fees.

The headset must be returned in its original condition and packaging.

The KA-1 uses standard dual GA (General Aviation) plugs and works with virtually all general aviation aircraft — Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, Cirrus, Diamond, and more. If your aircraft has standard dual jacks, you're good to go.

No. The KA-1 uses passive noise reduction, so there are no batteries to replace, recharge, or worry about failing during a flight.

Yes. The KA-1 includes a 3.5mm AUX input so you can connect ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, or any audio source — hear real-time alerts and navigation prompts through your headset while you fly.

The free Premium Pilot Flight Bag is available for a limited time while this promotion is active. After that, the flight bag goes back to its regular $89.95 price. Don't wait on this one.

The KA-1 is backed by a 5-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. If anything goes wrong during normal use, we'll repair or replace it — serviced in the U.S.A. Email help@koreheadset.com with your receipt to start a claim.

If you have $1,200 to spend, go for it. But if you're a student pilot already spending $10–15K+ on training, the KA-1 gives you professional-grade comfort and 24 dB noise reduction at $224.95. Same quality as the old guard. Just a fraction of the price. That's why 30+ flight schools recommend us.
