These are priced very well but they don't compare to higher end ANR headsets and I find them uncomfortable. I took one star off for the heavy feel on my head and one star off for the audio... I feel like I am in a tin box when talking. These were reconditioned so maybe I got one with issues. The gel pads are nice and ATC could hear me fine.

I like the email notice with discount for refurbished... link took me directly to product. I went online to try and understand the return process. Of course you don't want to make returns to easy I guess but it would likely leave customers like me more confident to purchase in the future. This product was a low price so I'm not sure going through the return process is worth it but I dislike the product so much it has hurt my experience.

More comfortable comfort than the competition and performs as well for significantly less money. The big plus is the renowned David Clark customer support.

Great customer service, fast and free shipping. Customer service was excellent when I first ordered through Amazon, but cancelled that order. Re-ordered direct from Gulf Coast Avionics. I will be recommending Gulf Coast Avionics to co-workers at my air carrier.
Thomas R - 07/23/2021
I love this headset. It offers noise canceling and Bluetooth capability. It’s a nice upgrade from my previous David Clark headset. I highly recommend this product. I chose this over a Bose A20 because of the comfort and light clamping force.

I’ve had my 696 for 11 years now, but just ended up with a gdl39 from a plane I bought. This cable allows me to get traffic on my 696. New capability for an 11 year old device.

This product description is very poor. I thought I could plug it into my copilots plugs and then have pilot and two passengers communicate. Unfortunately, it is a stand alone for two passengers to talk to each other. Also, I’m asked to write a review before I get to use the product. I suggest you send review request after a month or so.

Too soon to tell (it's not installed yet) It looks like it will be a perfect secondary radio and I'm counting on the intercom to replace the current external intercom.

Solidly built, and great for Virtual Reality. Fewer total buttons to learn, and each of them has at least 4 directional switches built in.

I like the idea of having XM Weather in the cockpit. Which is the primary reason I bought it. I haven't flown with it yet. So I'm not sure on the performance.

I ordered the 750 from two different major websites only to get an email the next day that the radio was backordered. Was happy to see GCA ad in AOPA Pilot, so I looked at the website and found they had them in stock at a better price. Arrived quickly, works perfectly! Can't wait to start using it in the air!

The order went through smoothly and without a hitch. I did mess up when I place my order and put the shipping address to my house, and I was unaware that signature required was needed for the products. But, I called Gulf Coast Avionics and they squared it away for me easily and with no problem.

When I called GCA I was introduced to a sales person who was a pilot himself, and so came with the unique insights of the practical use of the products offered. I was treated with great respect and was comfortable ordering an expensive item for my son. I ended up ordering the product a few days later via GCA's website. The site was well designed and it was easy to find my product. The order process was easy and the product arrived the next day in great condition. Overall, I would rate the experience as about as good as it gets. Andrew was my initial sales person. My name is Joe K and my son is a CFI.

I was very glad to know they were local. It was a plus.

The web site and the phone in are both "top-gun" good. The web experience is expert, high quality, and well presented. The phone in experience adds that special Q & A feature we all look for when we need that special touch.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
