Active Noise Reduction Headset For Helicopter Pilots

Telex, a pioneer in Active Noise Reduction (ANR) technology in aviation headsets, has created a headset that specifically addresses the needs of helicopter pilots and passengers. The Stratus Heli-XT cancels harmful, low-frequency noises common in helicopters that other headsets can’t block.

The Stratus Heli-XT is the result of a rigorous R&D program, including extensive field-testing with major helicopter fleet operators in US and international markets. Telex reports feedback from the field was overwhelmingly positive: pilots found the Stratus Heli-XT superior in every respect to their current headsets, in terms of noise protection, comfort, and audio performance.

Individual volume controls for each ear cup accommodate individual preferences. Telex’s ComfortCam™ system includes foam seals and two-directional pivoting to conform to the shape of the head allowing adjustment of the headset for a custom fit, designed to alleviate clamping no matter how long you wear the headset.

An advanced power management system gives pilots the option to power the headset via the helicopter panel, standard alkaline batteries, or rechargeable batteries (includes built-in recharging system). Providing 50 hours of battery life, the Stratus Heli-XT also features a cell phone connector and stereo music interface jack.

The Stratus Heli-XT comes with a full 5 year warranty and retails for $630.
