£380

A bit of a conundrum. It's the cheapest on test and looks it – very plasticky – but it's got some real strengths. It's the only one with a detachable cord and microphone, and more comfy than it fi rst looks too – the piece of sheepskin velcroed to the headband looks a bit tacky but works well. Internal rechargeable battery means no battery box. Passive noise reduction quite good, ANR average – and for the price better than you might expect. All in all, good value.

FEATURES

Connects to mobiles and MP3 player

No battery box; controls on earphones

Active Noise Reduction rates at 18-22db at 100Hz

Detachable cord allows use in both fi xed-wing aircraft and helicopters

448g

VERDICT

Surprisingly good. The noise cancelling system works well, not the best – but at over £100 less than the next cheapest on test it's great value and superb as a spare or passenger set.
