UFQ in-Ear Type Aviation Headset L-1 Super Light Weight – Quiet as ANR Free with a Bag, Great Sound Quality for Music with MP3 Input

These headsets are good for the price. I recently began flying the Airbus A-320 from the CRJ 700/900 and had purchased this headset to replace my Bose A20 headset. I felt the Bose A20 was overkill for the Airbus flight deck due to the primary fact the A320 doesn’t play the GPWS, TCAS etc caution and warning sounds through the headsets (or at least on the 320s in our fleet). These headsets allow a good amount of sound in that still allows for important sounds to be audible all while fitting comfortably once you get them adjusted to your size and comfort. Overall they are less bulky and a good pair of headsets. I would recommend these headsets.

I purchased this headset based on the low price, and after a few uses I am happy with it. It is overall very comfortable, and the sound quality is good. Noise reduction is fine in a jet cockpit, but I don’t think it would be ideal for a turboprop or piston cockpit – definitely not the same as ANR. The included protective carrying case is sturdy, but rather large, and the headset itself won’t really fit into a smaller case without potentially damaging it. So it takes up a little more room than I’d expect in my briefcase. Overall, I am perfectly happy with this headset for the price.

I have had the headset for about 2 years now. It is not very comfortable to wear because it does not adjust to the back of your head so every time you lean back the entire headset shifts. Once you get adjusted to that it becomes easy to wear and I much prefer the in ear vs over ear for long periods of time. The biggest problem is my headset is now broken because the case is too small for the headset so every time you stow your headset in the case you have to fold it awkwardly and overtime this has caused the wire for the headset to crimp and break. Customer service is not very user friendly and now i am onto searching for a new sturdy in ear headset.

I purchased my model L-1 in January of 2019. It was a good value and it worked just fine for several years. However, I noticed the right earpiece was starting to fray a couple of weeks ago. Sure enough last week the audio went out of the right earpiece completely. Wrote the company about repairs and they answered that their warranty only covers 3 years after purchase and they recommended I just buy a new one. After all the high marks David Clark has for repairing their headsets that is not what I wanted to hear from UFQ. I need a headset that will last longer than 4 years or at the very least a company that will stand behind their product to help repair it. I was willing to pay for the repairs but wasn’t even given the option. I will look elsewhere for my new headset.

I never liked over-the-ear style headsets – they pinch, and in the summer, they make me sweat. For the price, this is a terrific alternative! It comes with various-sized cones in two different densities so you can select a pair that provides you with the most comfortable fit and the best passive noise cancelation. It has individual left and right volume controls, and is switchable between mono and stereo audio systems. It even has an auxiliary input to connect to a phone or music source, but it’s not amplified, so be sure your audio source is. My only serious complaint is that on long flights the junction box from whence the microphone boom protrudes rubs against the bone behind/below my ear, however, I was able to cover it with a thin piece of self-adhesive foam, and it’s much better now.

I had to buy a replacement headset when I sent my main headset in for a repair. The price was good on this one, so I figured I would give it a try. I fly about 80 hours a month and have for several years, and I have tried quite a few headsets. This one is ok, but it is not as good as the brand name version of the same thing. It is significantly heavier (much heavier than I expected). The microphone and boom is where the majority of the weight is. The back wire and over-ear wire are ok but not nearly as bendable and comfort fitting as I would hope, but it is ok. It gets a little annoying after 7-8 hours, but it isn’t bad. The sound quality is pretty good. I would recommend this one for cockpits that are fairly quiet to begin with, I don’t think it would work too well in a single engine piston or a turboprop. All in all, I am glad that I got this, but I will switch back to my main one once it is refurbed. This will be a good back up for me, but doubt it will be my main one.

Understand I’m coming from some nice headsets, have 2 lightspeed zulu 3s for my plane now and wanted to get an in ear type to be cooler for the summer flying.

These just arrived on Thursday and today, Saturday, I was excited to take these on a 5 hr cross country.

After about 2 hrs, I told my wife in right seat that I couldn’t wait to return these junkers. They really are not terribly comfortable but I could deal with that if you could hear better.

Frankly, the noise reduction in these is dismal. The droning in the ears is oppressive. In air, I was given an IFR reroute today and had to ask the controller to repeat 3x and still didn’t get it right. If flying with these puts me at a safety or opperational disadvantage then heck to the no. Flying isn’t cheap and choosing a sub par headset to save some money isn’t a wise plan.

Again, I have high expectations having the zulu3s now but come on. Don’t sell me a turd and hope I don’t mind. I’ve already filed to return these and can’t wait to see these off.

For the price I was expecting a cheap Chinese kinda Device but I’ve been fllying with it for 3 months now on an airline jet and has ben working flawlessly. Clear comms and comfy (after about an hour or so of adjusting it to my head shape)
