I have the Saitek yoke, rudder pedals, throttle and a backlit keyboard, and I must say I'm very happy with the quality of their products. The headset looks very professional. I'm a private pilot and it's very similar to the David Clark headsets, although not exact obviously. I think Saitek does a great job at finding the right compromise between quality and price. Got a Saitek radio stack on the way!

Good product but as most gamers extended use product that become unbearable to wear for extended periods of time (30 min). Would not recommend for anyone unless you just have money to burn.

I am an avid flight simmer and these are a great set of "David Clark" like headphones. They are very comfortable once you get them properly adjusted I have worn them for 5+ hours at a time. They do make a pretty tight seal to your head and around your ears so I can see what the one guys was saying about wearing glasses and having issues. The volume adjustment on the side is a big plus!!
I thought I would add to this review after owning them a year. The only real issue I have encountered is that the ear cushions could be better. Either they have become harder or my ears more sensitive because after long periods of use they start to hurt. I think they really wanted them to be just like the real thing becasue they make such a good seal around your ear they block out external noise especially in the high end. I can never hear my wife at all with these on!!

The Saitek PH09 Pro Flight Headset is about as close to the real thing as you will find! It has a quality build and if placed next to a real flight headset of the same design, you would be hard pressed to tell them apart. Audio wise it is excellent & the fact that you can "hear" your own voice feedback through the earphones as you speak is a real plus. (Many headsets do not do this very well.) Another great feature is a handy volume control on the left earpod. What can I say? I enjoyed this product so much I bought a set for a very good but particular flight sim buddy of mine. Don't hesitiate to buy this item if you want the look and feel of a real flight headset.

I've not tried these with MS flight sim. But, with several combat sims I have, this product has HORRIBLE sound.
Negatives:
These are way too tight. I wear glasses and within 15 minutes, I can feel parts of the skin near my ears getting numb.
I'm well over 40. So, my hearing ain't what it used to be. TOO MUCH BASE! It hurts my ears and I can't distinguish sounds with lower base (higher pitch sounds). It's too difficult to discern other sounds that aren't loud...then, when loud, hurts your ears.
Mic boom is difficult to adjust properly at higher angles for smaller heads. It's range of movement is fine at lower angles, but as you raise it, you're afraid to bend or break it.
Postives:
The volume control is nice. It's very responsive and provides plenty of volume when you need it.
The mic is very sensitive. I had to reduce the mic input when using mic boost inside windows as it was picking up sounds from across the house (and that was through a closed door!)
Nice mute button feature on the front of the mic. If you use voice on all the time, this is nice because you can mut it at the touch of the front of the mic.
Over all, due to the lack of comfort and the inability to distinguish between sounds, I can't rate this more than a 2. I wish I could rate it a 1.5 because that's how bad I don't like it. At the price I bought it for ($99) it was a waste of money for me.
