This past Sunday I finally broke down and bought a headset and a handheld transceiver. In my "downtime" of my last few "lessons", I asked the CFIs at the school with assistance on buying a good headset. They all recommended David Clark, and my research had revealed the same, so after even more thorough research, I went out to Sporty's online and bought the DC 20-10S headset.
I also wanted an aviation band scanner, but my instructor told me I should spend the extra few dollars to get a transceiver instead. With this, I would always have a backup radio for communications. I'm going to take it to the airport this weekend to try it out.
