Aviation Headsets

For a pilot, communication is essential. Having a headset that is dependable, unobtrusive and accurate is crucial to the job. Aviation headsets need to block out as much noise as possible. Aircraft noise is very loud and distracting to communication so noise canceling becomes an important feature. Battery life should be long and sound quality high. Because pilots are often in the air for extended periods of time, comfort is a key factor so headsets are designed to be both lightweight and comfortable. Manufacturers such as Bose, Telex, David Clark and others all make headsets specialized for aviation.
