Telex Airman 8 ANR Headset (XLR5)

The Telex Airman 8 is the next generation of ultra-light pilot headsets from Telex. Like its predecessor, the Telex Airman 8 features a sturdy yet barely noticeable metal headband. A new feature is the soft head cushion, which enables even better positioning of the headset and at the same time significantly improves wearing comfort, especially on long flights. The redesigned microphone boom can be better positioned and, as usual, is equipped with an amplifying electret microphone. This ensures clear and distinct voice transmission. The visible cables above the ear cups now come pre-spiraled and thus cannot be damaged as easily when adjusting the headset. The connecting cable has also been reinforced and now provides better relief at the entrance of the redesigned ear cups.

Product Features Telex Airman 8:

• A flexible boom microphone arm, can be positioned on right or left side
• Ultra-lightweight, battery-free ANR with built-in fail-safe to ensure constant communication
• Soft, pliable ear and head cushion(s)
• Sturdy steel yoke construction with long lasting durability
• FAA TSO C139a approved
• Sound quality - the Telex Airman 8 is equipped with an amplifying electret microphone, resulting in clear voice transmission. Enhanced Noise Cancellation (ANR) on the handset and microphone provides crystal clear in-flight communications.
• Active Noise Reduction (ANR) - the Airman 8 offers improved active noise reduction (ANR) with better intelligibility. The position of the ANR switch has been moved to the outside of the ear cup. This makes the switch easier to reach without having to remove the headset. The Airman 8 is powered by the microphone system, eliminating the need for batteries.
• Safety enhancement - an integrated volume limiter protects the wearer from sudden increases in volume levels.
