The best option in its price range. Comfortable for the first 2.5 hours. Quality sound and passive noise reduction. My gel packs came off a time or two. Upgraded to the Lightspeed Sierra. But the FARO G2s are the best thing under $200. (Posted on 3/9/13)

What a deal! Review by KPDKDan

This headset is great, especially for a starter headset or a second headset. They are slightly bulkier then my David Clarks and there is a bit more background noise when keying the mic but you can't beat them for under $200. I would absolutely recommend this headset. (Posted on 3/9/13)

Good price, short mic Review by Thompson Air

I've used this headset for just over 60 hours. The price and style were my deciding factors to purchase them. The reviews I had read before purchase said they worked well but the mic was a bit short; I agree. If the mic we're a bit longer their would be no problem positioning it to talk. I would not purchase the set again unless the mic was longer, and then I would have no hesitation.

The set was a bit uncomfortable on the top of the head at first, but after about 10 hours of use it was okay for about two or three hours at a time. The ear cushions tend to come off, and it takes a little patients to slip them back on without damaging them.

The volume on the accessory plug is low. I think that is due to not being a powered headset (no batteries).

I like the volume control on the ear pieces, and the mono/stereo switch has its place on the cord. If one ear doesn't work, check the switch. The cord link is appropriate.

Excellent starter headset Review by SJWhiteley

Having just started flying, being on the lookout for a decent headset at a low price, the Faro headset seemed to fit the bill. And it does. While the main advice is to buy the best you can afford, I didn't want to have an expensive headset sit in the drawer if it wasn't quite right. With this Faro headset, however, the risk is minimized. You can get a feel for a decent quality headset without a large investment.

This headset just works. It is a solid build, and good quality. The only 'knock' I have are that it seems quite heavy and bulky, but no more so than a couple of others that my instructor has. Additionally, the cable seems fairly stiff; it may take a while for the kinks to relax. The fit could be better, but perhaps that's my head. after a few minutes, it doesn't seem at all noticeable. The mike goes exactly where you want it, with the gooseneck holding it's position.

If I needed a second headset, or a set for passengers, I'd, without a doubt, purchase these again. (Posted on 3/9/13)

great quality and comfort. Had to adjust the squelch as even with mic boom touching my lips, it would not pick up first few syllables.
Other than that, no problems, over 50 hrs of flight time on the headset (Posted on 3/9/13)

Fits perfect, added cotton socks to them to keep my ears from sweating & it made them more comfortable. My buddies have DC headsets, but really envy mine. (Posted on 3/9/13)

This headset is a good workhorse of a headset, nice sound quality and as comfortable as higher-priced sets I've used! (Posted on 3/9/13)

Great purchase as a first headset Review by lowyoyo

Good build quality, and particularly appreciate the heavy duty connectors (when compared to say, the Bose A20s')
Sound and mic quality are on par with more expensive sets.
Price is GREAT especially considering what you're getting.

Noise reduction could be a little better, but for a passive system, it performs as expected and definitely comparable to passive David Clark sets.
And for comfort, it is actually slightly more comfortable than David Clark's, I found personally. (Posted on 3/9/13)
