Telex Airman 750 Headset

Discover why the Telex Airman 750 Headset has become one of the most popular models among commercial aviation pilots, and for good reason. Its design has been carefully crafted to meet the demands of air professionals, offering a unique combination of lightness, comfort, and high-quality communication performance.

Exceptional Comfort and Ultralight Design

One of the most notable features of the Airman 750 is its extreme lightness, with a weight ranging from 65 to 91 grams (without cable). This, combined with its innovative open-ear style headset design, allows for prolonged, fatigue-free use, even during extended flight days. Unlike headsets that fully cover the ear, the Airman 750 provides the advantage of comfort by not fully pressing on the ear canal, although with less noise isolation capacity. The headband can be adjusted by approximately 5 centimeters on each side (over two inches) for a perfect fit to the pilot's morphology, and the ear pads are removable for easy in-field replacement.

Clear Communications with Advanced Microphone Technology

The Airman 750 is equipped with a miniature, amplified, noise-cancelling electret microphone, which provides superior 400 Hz hum rejection. This microphone offers a sensitivity of -51 dB re: 1 V/µbar @ 1 kHz, 12 VDC and can swivel 320º, allowing it to be conveniently positioned on either side of the head. Additionally, it features a foam cover to reduce breath noise when speaking, ensuring clear and crisp voice transmission. Its boom is flexible for optimal microphone placement.

Durability, Reliability, and Professional Certification

Durability is key in the aviation environment. The cables run inside the headset to increase their lifespan and feature shielding for protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The Airman 750 headsets are rigorously certified under FAA TSO C57a and C58a standards, guaranteeing their performance and reliability in accordance with aviation standards. Their impedance is 150-600 Ω (±20%), speaker sensitivity is 90 dB SPL/mW at 1 kHz, and speaker frequency response is 100 Hz - 3 kHz. They come with a 3-year warranty.

Available Versions and Connectivity

In addition to the Airman 750, the Airman 760 model is available by special order. This version is identical to the 750, except it does not include a microphone and is approved under TSO C57a. The Telex Airman 750 headsets feature a PJ-068 and PJ-055 equivalent or XLR-5-12C connector type, and the cord length is ~5.5-8 ft (1.7-2.4 m).

Frequently Asked Questions:

What does "open-ear style" mean for the headset?
It means that the ear cups do not completely cover the ear, but rather rest on it. This offers greater comfort for prolonged use and allows for increased situational awareness of the cockpit environment, albeit with less passive noise reduction compared to circumaural headsets.

Can I use the Telex Airman 750 in general aviation?
Although popular in commercial aviation, they can also be used in general aviation, especially if lightness and comfort are prioritized over maximum passive noise reduction, or in cockpit environments with moderate noise levels.
