Best time would be when you really know that flying is what you want to do. For flight training, just invest in a cheaper headset, like a Telex Echelon or something...something that works, and gets the job done. The way I look at it while training, is that a $300-$900 dollar headset can get you ~1.8 hours to 5.6 hours of dual recieved. (Based off a/c @ $110 and Flight Instructor @ $49). I'll take the hours during during training, and later on down the line, I will invest in a nice headset when I don't have to pay for flight time.

Just my $0.02
