David Clark H10-13.4 Aviation Headset Dual Plug
A true classic in General Aviation: The David Clark H10-13.4 has earned a reputation as a dependable passive aviation headset for pilots, student pilots, flight schools and flying clubs.
Its strengths are straightforward: 23 dB certified passive noise attenuation, excellent wearing comfort, clear communication and a robust, serviceable construction designed for years of regular cockpit use.
23 dB Passive Noise Attenuation
The H10-13.4 provides a certified Noise Reduction Rating of 23 dB NRR.
Its closed around-the-ear design reduces cockpit noise passively, with no ANR batteries, charging or electronic noise reduction system required.
Comfort Gel Ear Seals
David Clark equips the H10-13.4 with large undercut Comfort Gel ear seals. They provide an effective seal around the ears while maintaining excellent comfort during extended use.
Extra-Soft Double-Foam Head Pad
The expanded, super-soft double-foam head pad distributes the headset's weight across a larger area of the head and helps reduce pressure points during longer flights.
M-7A Noise-Cancelling Microphone
The H10-13.4 features David Clark's M-7A amplified electret microphone.
Its noise-cancelling design is engineered for clear voice transmission in noisy aircraft environments and supports intelligible radio and intercom communication.
Universal Flex Boom
The flexible microphone boom allows precise microphone placement and can be adjusted to suit the individual pilot.
Dual Plug for General Aviation
The David Clark H10-13.4 Aviation Headset Dual Plug uses the traditional General Aviation connections:
- PJ-055 headphone plug
- PJ-068 microphone plug
This makes it suitable for compatible General Aviation aircraft and intercom systems using standard Dual Plug connections.
Built for Everyday Flying
The H10-13.4 combines steel hardware with durable ABS ear domes and a robust moulded cord assembly designed to withstand demanding pull and flex conditions.
The straight communication cable measures approximately 1.5 metres.
Designed to be Serviced
One of the major advantages of the H10-13.4 is its serviceable construction. Components including the Comfort Gel ear seals, microphone, communication cord, head pad and numerous mechanical parts are available separately.
This makes the headset particularly attractive for flight schools, flying clubs and pilots who plan to keep their headset in service for many years.
FAA TSO Approved
The David Clark H10-13.4 is FAA TSO C57b and C58a approved and exceeds RTCA/DO-214 standards according to the manufacturer.
Made in USA
The H10-13.4 is manufactured in the USA and represents the traditional David Clark approach to aviation headsets: durability, clear communication, comfort and long-term serviceability.
