Comfort Upgrades Worth Considering for Your David Clark H10-13.4

Looking to make your David Clark H10-13.4 headset even more comfortable? These two upgrades are customer favorites:

Double-Foam Head Pad Kit (40688G-36):


This ultra-soft head pad is significantly wider and tapered, offering approximately 60% more surface contact with your head. Its unique center hinge allows the pad to “breathe,” reducing pressure hotspots and evenly distributing headset weight — dramatically enhancing comfort on extended flights.

Comfort-Gel, Undercut Ear Seals (40863G-02):


Featuring a patented undercut design, these gel seals provide 60% more contact area, are 26% lighter, and offer 30% more interior space for your ears. The result is a snug, low-pressure fit that reduces fatigue, enhances passive noise attenuation, and keeps you comfortable during long flights.

How to Keep Your David Clark H10-13.4 Performing Like New

  • Replace ear seals every 6–12 months, depending on use.

  • Swap out the head pad when it flattens or loses comfort.

  • Inspect and replace cord assemblies if you notice crackling or shorts.

  • Clean headset surfaces with mild, aviation-safe wipes.

  • Store in a protective headset bag or case between flights.

  • GA to Airbus XLR Adapter (Not Offered by David Clark): Connects your H10-13.4 to Airbus aircraft that use 5-pin XLR connections.

  • GA to 6-Pin LEMO Adapter(Not Offered by David Clark): Allows your headset to plug into aircraft with panel-powered ANR ports, common on premium GA and business aircraft.
