The Airman 8 features a high-quality amplified electret microphone for
clear voice transmission. Improved ANR and microphone noise cancellation
ensures superior in-flight communication.
Active Noise Reduction
The Airman 8 headset features enhanced ANR (Active Noise Reduction) with
even more noise reduction, helping to improve intelligibility and
reduce fatigue. The position of the ANR switch has also moved to the
forward-facing ear cup side, making it easier to reach the switch
without having to remove the headset. A unique feature of the Airman 8
is that it is powered from its microphone system, eliminating the need
for batteries or special connectors.
Durability
A strong stainless steel headband with metal pivots improves durability
for long headset life. The new microphone boom design provides stronger
rotation stops, utilizing the full diameter of the ear cup. Furthermore,
a pre-coiled overhead cord has been added to extend the useful life of
the headset. The main headset cord is also more robust and features an
improved design of the band relief on the ear cup entrance.
Comfort and Fit
The soft headband pad and lightweight design provides comfort, even on
long flights. An added yoke provides enhanced comfort by allowing ear
cup movement in all directions. Furthermore the Airman 8 comes with
replaceable ear cup covers and leatherette ear cushions.

An acoustic limiter protects users against sudden increases in sound levels
