Active noise headsets does cost a bit more but the noise reduction is of better quality. Pilots needing a greater degree of silence to finish their tasks should decide on an active noise reduction headset. Passive noise reduction headsets work well but not to the degree of the active sets. Both types of sets have well made microphones installed. Most aviation headsets microphones booms are flexible and have air filters on them. The filters are used to stop wind noise and others noises from leaking into the microphone while in use. Some headsets have battery backups at a small additional cost.
