David Clark H10-13X Headset

The David Clark H10-13X Headset (P/N 404011G-06) is the definitive choice for general aviation pilots, flight instructors, or any aviator seeking an enhanced flight experience with cutting-edge technology. Based on the proven reliability of the H10-13 model, these headsets incorporate an advanced active noise cancellation system that will transform your cockpit environment.

Advanced Electronic Noise Cancelling (ENC) for Serene Flights

The most prominent feature of the H10-13X is its exclusive Electronic Noise Cancelling (ENC) system. This technology provides a significant reduction in ambient noise, with up to 23 dB of passive reduction (NRR) plus additional ENC attenuation. Powered by a single 9-volt battery, the ENC system offers an impressive battery life of up to 25 hours of continuous use, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: enjoying your flight and maintaining clear, uninterrupted communications from background noise.

Exceptional Comfort for Extended Flights

David Clark has redesigned the ear domes with new composite materials, which has allowed for a lighter headset weight of approximately 567 grams (without cable). This design, combined with the super-soft, double foam head pad and the larger, lighter, undercut gel ear seals, ensures that weight is not a burden on your shoulders and neck. Furthermore, the head and ear pads feature an innovative heat dissipation system, which prevents sweat and skin marks, even after hours of use in the most demanding cockpit conditions.

Crystal Clear Communications with Exclusive Audio System

The exclusive audio system of the H10-13X, with its state-of-the-art earphones, and the M-7A Amplified Electret noise-cancelling microphone, ensure that radio communications and conversations with your travel companions are exceptionally clear and crisp. The universal flex boom allows for precise microphone adjustment to the optimal position at all times. Dual volume controls provide independent control over each earphone.
