Hi,
I just did my first PE/FSE flight today after doing a bunch of ratings. It was fun experience and it reminded me of my first day of RL flying that happened to be out of a Class C airport so had to start listening to ATC day one. I had hard time understanding ATC and my instructor would do most of the talking and i would just try and write down the clearance and do the simple call backs. The VHF modulation is great but i had a really hard time understand the lady controller today. I had just hooked up my old David Clark headset for the first time and had not used my old headset since VHF was turned on. The lady was very patient and helped me get through it but she had to read back the taxi instructions several times and deal with a bunch of my other misunderstandings.
Everyone else seemed to have no issues so i just chalked it up to getting used to it. This continued for next hour or so and even when she read back slower it was still very difficult to understand due to the distortion. Once another controller came on towards the end of the flight it became clearer and i could also understand other pilots.

I listened to audio on my headset after and it was easy to understand. N419SF
So my question is what would make it this way. Is there something I need to adjust to help with this?.
