The H10-60N achieves its noise reduction through passive means, utilizing the headset's circumaural design to create an effective acoustic seal around the ears. This design, combined with the foam ear seals, provides a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 23 dB, which is adequate for most general aviation environments. The rigid dome construction helps maintain the seal integrity, ensuring consistent noise attenuation during flights.
Over time, the condition of the ear seals can degrade, affecting the headset's noise-blocking capabilities. Compressed or cracked seals can break the acoustic seal, allowing more external noise to penetrate. Replacing the ear seals with the Undercut Gel Earseal (pair, part number 40863G-02) is a cost-effective solution to restore optimal noise attenuation.
The primary difference between the H10-60N and the standard H10-60 lies in the microphone and boom assembly. The H10-60N features a hybrid boom with an M-7A electret microphone, which provides superior noise-cancelling capabilities compared to the dynamic microphone used in the H10-60. This makes the H10-60N better suited for high-noise environments where clear communication is critical.
If you frequently fly in noisy environments and require superior microphone performance, the H10-60N is the recommended choice. Its enhanced noise-cancelling microphone and flexible boom make it ideal for pilots who prioritize clear communication.
Looking to make your David Clark H10-60N even more comfortable? These two upgrades are customer favorites:
This head pad kit provides additional cushioning, reducing pressure points and enhancing comfort during long flights. It's a direct replacement for the standard head pad, offering a significant comfort boost without altering the headset's fit or balance.
👉 Ideal for pilots who spend extended periods in the cockpit and require maximum comfort.
These ear seals offer superior comfort and noise attenuation by conforming to the shape of your head, providing a better seal and reducing pressure. The gel material stays cooler for longer, making them ideal for warm climates or extended use.
👉 A great choice for pilots looking to enhance noise reduction and comfort simultaneously.
Keeping up with these maintenance tips will ensure your H10-60N remains reliable and comfortable for every flight.
Small accessories make a big difference in headset longevity and comfort.
