The Kore Aviation KA-1 is our best-selling aviation headset, trusted by pilots, passengers, instructors, student pilots, and flight schools for its clear audio, lasting comfort, and dependable build—all at a price that doesn't break the bank.

With 24dB Passive Noise Reduction (PNR), the KA-1 cuts background noise so communication stays sharp and easy to understand. It includes independent volume controls for each ear, a mono/stereo switch, and a 3.5mm AUX input for connecting to apps like ForeFlight, so you can hear real-time alerts, navigation prompts, and in-flight updates straight through your headset.

The electret noise-canceling microphone with preamp sits on a flexible 360° boom, keeping your transmissions clear at all times. For all-day comfort, the KA-1 is fitted with silicone gel ear seals, an extra-thick head pad, and an adjustable headband, making it a solid choice even on longer flights.

A Versatile Headset for Flight Training and Beyond

A quality aviation headset is an important investment for pilots at every stage of training. Clear communication with instructors and ATC, combined with effective noise reduction, helps reduce cockpit workload and allows you to focus on flying.

The Kore Aviation KA-1 is designed for student pilots, flight instructors, and experienced aviators who want additional comfort and flexibility. Its silicone gel ear seals, adjustable headband, and passive noise reduction make it suitable for both short training flights and extended cross-country trips.

The KA-1 features standard dual GA plugs compatible with many popular training airplanes, including Cessna 172s and Piper Cherokees equipped with standard dual-plug headset jacks.

Compared with the entry-level P1, the KA-1 offers selectable mono/stereo audio, independent volume controls for each ear, and silicone gel ear seals. These features make it an appealing option for pilots seeking a more versatile headset as they progress through their training.
