David Clark H10-13H Helicopter Headset

David Clark H10-13H Helicopter Headset

The David Clark H10-13H is a helicopter aviation headset that brings together a lightweight design, cushioned comfort and an electret noise-cancelling microphone. Supplied with a coiled cord and U-174/U plug, it is designed for helicopter flying and is a practical option for pilots choosing equipment for a compatible cockpit audio system.

Whether you are preparing for a training flight or adding a headset to your regular flying kit, comfort and connection type are important considerations. The H10-13H combines gel-filled ear seals with a super-soft pillow-top head pad, giving you cushioning around the ears and across the top of your head.

Lightweight comfort for helicopter flying

At approximately 380 g (13.4 oz), the H10-13H keeps headset weight low. Its gel-filled ear seals and padded headband are designed to make the headset comfortable to wear, while the listed 23 dB hearing protection rating helps you compare its noise-reduction specification with other aviation headsets.

Noise-cancelling microphone and helicopter connection

The electret noise-cancelling microphone is designed to reduce unwanted background noise picked up during voice communication. The headset comes standard with a coiled cord and U-174/U plug. Check your helicopter's headset connection and audio-system requirements before ordering, as the plug type alone does not establish compatibility with every installation.
