Telex Airman 8 ANR Headset - Dual GA Plugs

It is not noise canc. It is reduction... case is very bad. Headphones volume level is good.

Horrible product - absolutely do not recommend! I’m a commercial 737 pilot who has flown with my trusty old Telex 750 for about 6 years when the wires finally chafed and failed. When looking for a replacement, I found the Telex Airman 8, which seemingly beefed up the wire areas that failed on my original purchase. My initial impressions of the Telex Airman 8 were positive and it seems that the Airman 8 made marginal improvements over the old 750 series. However after 6 short months of use, the entire headset quit working. No receive, no transmit... unless I jiggle my head in just the right way. There seems to be a shorted wire somewhere where the wire bundle inserts into the ear cup. And for the record, I always store my headset in its case and treat it with care.Pros: light weight, comfortable.Cons: noise reduction isn’t that impressive. Quality and durability did not meet my expectations as a commercial pilot. Telex customer service is non-existent.What’s more disappointing is Telex’s customer service. Their warranty refers you to a Bosch website that refers you to other websites that end up in an endless search for assistance.Bottom line: absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

I had high hopes for this newer model, but the ear cups do not swivel making it very uncomfortable after approx :45. I used the Telex 750 for years, then the 850 which I am going back to.

Used in B-717 for one 3 day trip. Replacement for 15+ yr old 850's. Found these to be ok comfort-wise, but finicky to stay put on head. The ear cups are rather limited in rotational adjustment range, leaving me with a hot spot on the one ear I would slightly uncover to hear other pilot. Also, the whole headset would slip/rotate forward when looking down- as the mic swivel adjust is rather stiff, this slipping on the head had the effect of constantly moving the mic down away from my mouth. However, my biggest complaint is that I experienced a loud hum that was unbearable & fatiguing in 75% of the jets used in (swapped acft multiple times passing through hub). I had to take them off & use the 750's provided by the company in the cockpit. This may just be a 717 impedance related issue, but a deal breaker for me, so they're going back. That being said, in the few jets that the hum was not bad in, the noise cancelling was excellent.

I bought this headset to easily carry on a cross country commute, and use in the Mad Dog. The headset is lightweight, I find it comfortable, and the sound quality is clear.I usually only have it covering one ear, so it’s hard to judge the noise cancelling. I’m not sure it would be great to use in a piston prop aircraft.

Nice headset, nice improvements over the old 750 I've had for 20 years. And the noise cancelling is just enough in a larger jet. May not be if you are in a turbo prop. And for the price, not bad at all.It's doesn't do bluetooth, doesn't have gain, doesn't have multiple inputs. It just a well made, light, comfortable headset, that cancels just enough noise for me.

The quality of this headset is good, and the noise cancellation work fairly well too for a headset that doesn't completely cover the ear. However, I couldn't even finish one flight with this headset because it is so uncomfortable. Not sure who they designed this for but it does not fit a human head properly. It actually hurt my ears to wear this. I ended up returning the headset as soon as I finished my airline trip!

After using a Telex 750, using this Telex 8 makes a Great difference. Works Great in the noisy 737 cockpit. ANR without adicional batiereis is the key to Buy it rather than others.
