Featuring a proprietary battery-free active noise reduction system that delivers 40% better noise cancellation than its predecessor, it ensures crystal-clear communication in commercial and business turbine cockpits. Enhanced with larger leatherette ear cushions, a padded headband, and dual-axis ear cup pivots, it offers superior comfort for long flights. Backed by a 3-year warranty, this headset is a professional pilot’s essential for focused, fatigue-free flying. ## Description This Telex Airman 8+ is for Airbus Aircraft and terminates in an Airbus 5-Pin XLR connector. The Telex Airman 8+ is a lightweight noise-reducing headset designed specifically for optimizing pilot communications in commercial and business turbine aircraft. Building on the tradition of the Airman 850 and the Airman 8, the Telex Airman 8+ has improved ANR capability and comfort. The Airman 8+ is among the lightest Active Noise Reduction headsets on the market and one of only three FAA TSO C139a approved ANR headsets to utilize Telex’s proprietary battery-free system. Larger pliable ear cushions and headband pad combined with dual axis ear cup pivots to provide long flight wearing comfort. Provides up to 40% more Noise Reduction vs. Airman 8! Review: Clamping force - There is still enough clamping force apply to your ears to make them uncomfortable after several hours of wearing, but at least it doesn't cause you headaches within hours as some other products do. Hope after a few times eearing it will loosen a bit. Good noise cutting and volume level. Good for protecting hearing. Review: Major Major Disappointment - I used a Telex 850 for years on several different airliners. I probably wore it for 4000+ hours of actual flight time. It was never the most quiet or most rugged or best any anything - but it was always better than the 750 that most airlines keep in the flight deck, it packed neatly into my flight bag, and it never needed batteries. When I moved to the Airbus, I decided to get a dedicated XLR headset and went with the newest offering from Telex. It’s about the same level of comfort, although the little head pads are awful. It’s better without them. The ear cups don’t swivel, so with the included case it takes of a TON of room in my flight bag - at least twice as much as the 850 did in its case. The microphone is really, really, REALLY sensitive to placement. It’s got to be right in front of your mouth and oriented exactly correctly or it doesn’t pick up much sound. Even when the mic is perfectly placed, it still provides virtually no side tone, so even on a fairly quiet flight deck you can’t hear yourself talking. After several months and several hundred hours of flight time, I just can’t talk myself into using this thing any longer and I’m planning on replacing it with a David Clark Pro-X2 or a Bose A20. It’s too late to return it, so I’ll probably throw it up for sale on the bulletin board in our crew room. ## Features - For Commercial, Quiet Cockpits.
