"What a product. What a company! As a thirty year instructor, and owner of a flight training academy, I cannot recommend this product more highly. For the first time in over a decade, we had an issue with an ASA headset. Within a week of sending back, we had received a replacement with no questions asked. Forget the premium associated with those other manufacturers...ASA's headsets deliver the same performance with an honest, no nonsense lifetime guaranty. It is the only headset I recommend."

"I needed a headset (after breaking my friends very expensive headset) for a ferry flight and came across these at Boeing Field. I used them for my flight from there through the Aleutian Islands and onto Japan. I found them very comfortable for the entire journey, including the ten and twelve hour legs. My friend thought I might find them heavy but I did not notice that at all. They sealed around my ears easily and I appreciated being able to adjust the volume with the knobs on the ear cups, so we both could have volumes we were comfortable with during the flight. I see they have gel pads and am tempted to purchase them but the pads with them are so very nice I do not see the need even though I like gels. One reason I was particularly motivated to purchase these is because they had the lifetime warranty. Although I have yet to utilize a warranty, the fact they offer one speaks volumes to me on their construction and the integrity of ASA. They kept outside noises out, inside noises clear and the mic made my voice transmit clearly. All-in-all I was/am pleasantly pleased with my purchase."

"...the headset; it's brilliant itself but a couple of years ago I exchanged the standard ear seals. Since then I'm using the <a href="{Product 907}">gel seals</a> and I have to say it makes the headset even better! Better comfort in wearing it and it also reduces the environmental noise a lot better"

"Love this set - beats all I've tried in same genre. Despite low price the overall quality is good. The warranty is superb! I lost the volume in one of my speakers - returned the set to be 'fixed' and was sent a brand new headset - turn around time was < 1 week. Will continue to buy these for the light flying that I do. Can't beat warranty and service!"

"I just wanted to pass along a very good experience with an aviation vendor. Over ten years ago I bought 2 ASA HS-1 headsets with a lifetime warranty. I have used them ever since. They are not fancy, but they have good passive noise reduction and are mono/stereo and have worked well. The ear covers were foam filled and had become stiff and uncomfortable and the outer insulation on the wiring was brittle and cracked, so I decided to check out their lifetime warranty to see what was covered. I emailed them my question and the same day I received a reply from customer service telling me to send them back and they would replace them. I sent them back USPS priority mail and about ten days later I received 2 brand new headsets. They didn't repair my old ones, they sent the latest model that has replaced my original ones. No postage, no hassle. I am so impressed, I just had to pass the word along. If you have occasion to do business with them, I'm sure you will be happy with the products and service."

"I just received what I believe is my 3rd replacement set in over 15 years in less than a week turn around with no questions asked. I bought 2 of the Classic Headsets back then for personal use and to have an extra to fly CAP Cadets and friends. ASA has each time replaced them when they wore out !! They are rugged comfortable and most of all reliable !! I own an expensive brand headset but the ASA are always ready to go without batteries. Great Product !! Thanks again"

"This is one of the toughest headsets around. In March 1997, the home my flight instructor, another flying student and I were living in was struck by a tornado. Luckily, none of us were home at the time. My ASA headset was later found on the ground a couple of blocks away—in the rain and missing an ear seal! In the meantime, I had already purchased a Telex 5000E headset to replace my ASA HS-1. But after replacing the HS-1's ear seals with gels, I found them more comfortable and better sounding than the Telex AND the David Clark I had recently borrowed. It's been 10 years since I went to the FBO and bought the cheapest headset I could find (my ASA HS-1). I never expected I'd still be using them today. I may never need another headset."

"If you are a GA pilot on a budget you simply can't beat the value of this headset. I purchased it a year ago and have had no problems whatsoever. Nothing against the folks that make the 500 or 1000 dollar headsets, but if you are like me, a two or three times a month flier just for the fun of it, you will not be disappointed. I also purchased the ASA headset bag for somewhere around 15 dollars and it does a good job of protecting it when not in use. The bottom line is for 150.00 dollars you will be surprised at how well this headset performs"
