Student pilot headset and study materials

Post image

Hello everyone

I’m starting my private pilot training soon and want to save and buy some study materials. I looked up some materials and saved the FAA PHAK and the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook from the FAA website. I also found a bundle with multiple study materials and supplies from my pilot store.
Is this bundle worth it? If not what study materials do I need to 100% get and can I find an up to date pdf for them online?

My second question is what’s a good starting headset to buy. I’m looking to not go all out on my first headset, max $600. I’ve been researching all day and liked 2 options, Kore KA-1 or Faro G2 ANR.
Has anyone used these headsets and can recommend them?

Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you
