I need a recommendation on a good Helmet/Headset system. I am looking at Lynx or FlyCom. Maybe a good noise cancelling headset alone will be good. Like a Lightspeed Zulu or a Bose A20. I just need something designed for use in a noisy cockpit.

do your own research and you will get some good advice from the group. I have walked by the Bose tent hundreds of times, they have a low frequency noise they generate that their headphones (seems like they are one of the best?) do a real good job filtering out. My redrive VW produces a higher frequency noise and Rotax engines are even higher frequency that noise canceling headphone have trouble stopping. I have a Sigtronics headset that I have installed the Headsets noise canceling kit in. It does a fair job but needs help. I wear the in the ear canal ear phones (low profile) under my headsets and the two do a real good job.

Head phones are funny. I have a Sigtronics S45 that works quite well for me. The reason that they don't work better is that the spring holding the headset to your head is a little weak. I just installed a strap that will allow me to pull it tight under my chin, so that it will block more of the noise. If I did not wear glasses and have a beard, I am sure that it would do a better job. I did install the gel ear pads, and they helped a lot.

I have a friend that put ANL into the same set and he likes it a lot. It is worse than the ones that I have-- to me. He has tried mine and the noise is much worse, so its not the headsets, it is my ears, and the frequency. I had a DRE anr headset that I sold because it was not as quiet as my Sigs. Others swear by them. You are just going to have to try them to see which fits you.
The Bose are a bit out of my price range, so I cannot comment on them. The David Clark are good headsets, but they squeeze my head like a zit, and I cannot wear them for very long until it becomes a distraction.
Of all the cheap (reasonable ) headsets out there, Sigtronics are the best.
Good luck,
Larry

I've flown with ANC headphones and they creep me out. I want headphones that protect my hearing but still let the airplane talk to me. Old school I guess.

Right on John
Maybe its our age or maybe the damage we have already done to our ears but having my ears ringing, more than it already do, after a flight is not something I enjoy. I can hear my engine whispering to me just fine. I can hear radio transmissions and even recognise their voices. A good ANC headphone with passive ear phones under them as another layer of noise reduction is really nice in my Kolb.
Creepy......... is watching someone talk to you and not hearing their voice.
