Telex Airman 8+ ANR Headset
The Telex Airman 8+ ANR Headset sets a new standard in aviation communication, combining cutting-edge Active Noise Reduction (ANR) technology with lightweight, ergonomic design. Designed for professional pilots in commercial and corporate turbine aircraft, the Airman 8+ ensures clear, uninterrupted communication, even in the noisiest cockpits. With up to 40% more noise reduction than its predecessors, this FAA TSO C139a-approved headset guarantees safety, comfort, and reliability on every flight.
Whether you’re piloting a corporate jet or flying commercial routes, the Telex Airman 8+ ANR Headset is engineered to optimize auditory clarity, reduce fatigue, and provide unmatched durability. Its battery-free ANR system draws power directly from cockpit sources, eliminating interruptions while maintaining peak performance.
The Telex Airman 8+ offers a comprehensive feature set that addresses every aspect of pilot needs:
Active Noise Reduction (ANR): Reduces ambient cockpit noise by up to 40% more than previous models, ensuring clear communication.
Battery-Free Technology: ANR powered via cockpit, eliminating battery changes.
Ergonomic Design: Dual-axis ear cup pivots, larger soft leatherette ear cushions, and adjustable headband for extended comfort.
Durable Construction: Stainless steel headband, robust ear cup pivots, and fail-safe microphone mechanisms ensure longevity.
Versatile Microphone: Flexible boom microphone that can be positioned on either side, with noise-canceling electret technology.
FAA TSO C139a Approved: Meets stringent regulatory standards for commercial aviation.
The Telex Airman 8+ employs advanced ANR technology that measures internal and external noise to actively cancel out disruptive sounds. Pilots report up to 40% better noise suppression compared to the Airman 8, creating a calmer cockpit environment, reducing fatigue, and enhancing focus.
Flying for hours requires a headset that feels invisible. The Airman 8+ features:
Large, soft leatherette ear cushions
Headband padding designed for long-term comfort
Dual-axis pivot points allowing natural head movement
Adjustable boom microphone for personalized positioning
These enhancements minimize pressure points and prevent discomfort during long-haul flights.
Unlike traditional ANR headsets that rely on batteries, the Airman 8+ taps into cockpit power via its microphone connection. Pilots enjoy uninterrupted performance without worrying about power depletion mid-flight, while still benefiting from premium noise cancellation.
Constructed with high-grade materials, the Airman 8+ withstands the rigors of commercial aviation. Stainless steel headband components and robust pivot mechanisms provide resilience, while onboard fail-safe systems ensure that communication remains active even if ANR functionality encounters issues.
