Telex Airman 850 ANR Headset

The Telex Airman 850 Headset represents the most advanced standard in communication and comfort for every professional pilot and captain in commercial or business aviation. Weighing an extremely low 114 grams (4 ounces), this model stands out as the lightest active noise reduction (ANR) product on the international market. Its sophisticated system attenuates wind and cockpit ambient noise by more than 12 decibels, guaranteeing flawless hearing clarity during flight operations and protecting the long-term auditory health of the first officer on long-haul routes.

One of the great operational advantages of the Telex Airman 850 Headset is that its ANR system is powered directly through the microphone channel itself. This unique feature completely eliminates the hassle of using batteries, external power packs, or bulky control boxes. In terms of design and ergonomics for aeronautics, the adjustable headband allows 5 cm of coverage on each side to fit the exact morphology of any flight crew member, while enlarged ear cushions maximize daily operating comfort. Furthermore, it incorporates a miniature, amplified electret microphone with noise cancellation, featuring a flexible boom that rotates 320° for placement on either side. Shielded cabling protects against electromagnetic interference (RFI and EMI), ensuring the reliability standard required across the entire aviation industry and modern air navigation.
