It seems like it's been an absolute eternity since I first attempted to get my PPL (started as freshman in college = not enough money), but the time and finances are finally in place to finish what I barely started and get flying again! I'm trying to figure out what I should do regarding a headset - go with a cheap pair initially and then eventually upgrade to ANR or something like the QT Halo, or just cough up the dough and buy a nicer set right off the bat. For those of you who are using the Halos, do you think they'll hold up as well as "typical" headsets? I'll eventually need a second set for my wife, so that has to factor into the equation as well I guess.
Any advice? Buy cheap and upgrade after I know exactly what I like in a headset, or take the plunge and buy a model that gets good reviews (like the Lightspeed Twenty-3G) and just hope that I like them? I'd like to try on a bunch of headsets, but there aren't many shops around here that have a very decent selection. I'll be at OshKosh next summer - do most FBO's have loaners I could use during training until I can try some headsets at Osh?

PS - My wife says that I should start building an RV as soon as I've got some time built up, so I need to get flying and start on the RV before she changes her mind!
