The headset is self-contained and has no extra cords or plugs to fuss with in the cockpit. It's one of the lightest ANR headsets available. All of Pilot Avionics ANR headsets have rechargeable NIMH batteries that can be recharged 1000 times for a lifespan of 5000 hours and come with a five-year warranty. The HMEC200 III has a new electret condenser mic with gain adjustment for variations in aircraft audio systems. The HMEC222 III has its sibling's features and a flexible, coiled cable to minimize cable interference and maximize pilot mobility in helicopters.
Power is supplied by two AA batteries and an LED indicates battery status.
Both headsets weigh in at just 11.9 ounces and, with the gentle tension headband, you'll wear them comfortably for hours. They come with a five-year warranty. Telex The Echelon TM 100, an economic passive noise-reduction headset, is ideal for new or student pilots. Its 21 dB of noise reduction makes for a quieter cockpit, and its headband is designed to fit comfortably by equally distributing its 14.2 ounces over your head. The AIR 3500 passive noise-reduction headset reduces noise by 24 dB. Your ears will appreciate both the foam and gel ear cushions, and you can adjust the electret mic for wear on either side of your head.
