I'm gearing up to start flight training and would like to purchase a good, used headset at first:
1) What do I look for?
2) How can I test it without an airplane?
3) How much should I pay?
I obviously don't want to get ripped off and wouldn't know where to start looking. Barnstormers doesn't seem to have much of a market for them. Does the student typically just "run into" one somewhere along the line from hanging out at the airport? I guess I'll eventually need two 'cause you know... that license does come!
Any primer articles or documents about headsets would be appreciated also, all I can find with google is the AOPA article "How to Buy A Headset" and a bunch of retailers... none of which tell me how to get a gently used $300 headset for $100
