Overview

The David Clark H10-13H is a genuine OEM headset, representing the helicopter-specific variant of the world's most popular and trusted aviation headset, the H10-13.4. Engineered by the David Clark Company, the benchmark for rugged reliability, the H10-13H is designed to provide exceptional comfort, performance, and hearing protection in the high-noise environment of a helicopter cockpit. This model is distinguished by its coiled cord and single U-174/U plug, the standard for helicopter intercom systems. It combines a lightweight design with a high-performance noise-canceling microphone and superior passive noise attenuation, making it the go-to choice for helicopter pilots worldwide.

Key Features

• Helicopter-Specific Configuration: Features a 5-foot extended coil cord and is terminated with a single U-174/U plug, the standard connector for military and civil helicopter intercom systems.
• Superior Passive Noise Reduction: The durable, molded ear cups and patented Flo-Fit gel ear seals provide a secure, comfortable seal that delivers an impressive certified Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 23 dB. This protects hearing and enhances audio clarity.
• M-7A Amplified Electret Microphone: Equipped with the legendary M-7A advanced noise-canceling electret microphone. This microphone provides exceptional voice clarity and noise rejection, ensuring crisp, clear transmissions in high-noise cockpits.
• Super-Soft Double-Foam Head Pad: Features a unique "super-soft" foam head pad that is wider and more contoured than standard pads, providing maximum comfort and eliminating "hot spots" during long flights.
• Lightweight Comfort: Weighing in at only 16.5 oz (without the cord assembly), the H10-13H is one of the lightest headsets in its class, significantly reducing pilot fatigue. The headset also features a calibrated, low-pressure headband for a secure yet comfortable fit.

The David Clark H10-13H's exceptional performance is rooted in its core components. The M-7A amplified electret microphone uses a permanently charged dielectric element, which eliminates the need for external bias voltage (phantom power) required by some other microphone types. Its noise-canceling capability is achieved through acoustic design, where ambient noise enters ports on both sides of the diaphragm, creating equal pressure and canceling itself out, while the user's voice primarily enters the front, creating the desired pressure differential for clear transmission. The Flo-Fit gel ear seals are made from a soft, pliable silicone that conforms perfectly to the contours of the head, even around sunglasses, creating a superior acoustic seal that is the foundation of the headset's excellent passive noise attenuation.

Note: This headset features a single U-174/U plug and is not compatible with dual-plug (PJ-055 and PJ-068) fixed-wing aircraft intercom systems without an adapter. Always verify the required plug type for your specific aircraft.
