"I can only hear on one side of the ear?"

If the plane has a "Mono" system and the headset is in "Stereo" setting, the headset will only output in one ear. Switch in the middle of the cord needs to be changed to "Mono". Only a "Stereo" system in "Stereo" setting will output in both ears.

"Microphone is intermittent. There is a delay in communicating"

Check first that the squelch on the plane's system is tuned properly to match the noise level. It needs to be adjusted lower if it's not transmitting the first words.

Solid Headset for Instructors & Students

As a full-time flight instructor, I spend hours in the cockpit every single day so having a reliable and comfortable headset is non-negotiable. I’ve been using the Kore KA-1 for a while now, and honestly, I’m impressed.

First off, it’s surprisingly comfortable, even on long flight days. The gel ear seals are soft and do a great job keeping outside noise down, and the headset doesn’t clamp too tight like some of the cheaper ones tend to do. I can easily wear it for 4–5 hours straight without needing a break.

Audio quality is clean and consistent. ATC transmissions come through clear, and my students have no trouble hearing me. The mic boom is flexible and stays in place no need to constantly readjust mid-flight.

Build-wise, it feels sturdy and well put together. I like the fact that it has independent volume controls for each ear and a mono/stereo switch, which is useful depending on the aircraft I’m flying.

For the price point, this headset honestly punches above its weight. I’ve recommended it to a few of my students who are just starting out and aren’t ready to jump into the ANR game yet. It’s a great option that balances comfort, clarity, and cost really well.

If you’re a new CFI, student, or just want a solid backup headset, the KA-1 is definitely worth considering.

Great buy for the cost

It is 1 of 3 head sets that I own. It works well and I don’t have to worry about battery replacement. The sound quality is comparable. I do believe that my other headset with Bluetooth and noise cancellation is a little better, however for the extra $1000, Kore aviation headset is the better purchase option. Excellent for training and having a spare for a passenger you might take for a ride.

A good headset for the price.

I bought two of these to use when I take passengers with me on flights. I fly on Bose but didn't want to spend a lot of money on headsets that weren't getting used frequently. On one of the flights, I opted to use these instead of my Bose, and I have to say I was very impressed. They have good audio quality, and the mic picks up pretty well. I am more than happy with them for the price I paid. I would not hesitate to buy additional sets in the future if needed.
They are well built, and I think they are a great value for the price.
I did have one earcup come off, as I have seen in other reviews, but it really wasn't that difficult to put back on.
I don't think they are as comfortable as Bose, but I would be willing to recommend them to anyone looking for a good headset at a reasonable price.
