Telex Stratus 50D Digital ANR Headset
Posted by Pilot Shop in Headsets ANR on April 24th, 2009
The Telex Stratus 50D Headset offers Smart Sense™ DSP technology for more noise reduction than any other headset available. Smart Sense™ digital signal processing technology (DSP) is available only from Telex.
This technology identifies unique frequencies in each aircraft and adjusts accordingly to cancel out those specific frequencies. It is the lower frequencies that over time cause significant hearing damage and increase fatigue, and the Stratus 50-D works like no other headset availble to target those specific frequencies and cut more noise. The end result is a total reduction of 50 decibels of low frequency cockpit noise. No other headset eliminates more damaging noise than the Stratus 50-D. While the Stratus-50 cuts lower frequency sounds voices, and music are clearly heard.
Weight alone does not equal comfort, but custom fit does.
The Telex Stratus 50D Headset with patented Comfort Cam™ technology is the most wearer-friendly, most adjustable headset on the market! The ComfortCam allows the tension of the headset to be quickly and easily adjusted with just a few clicks. The Stratus 50-D has a unique construction designed to evenly distribute weight to eleminate pressure points and hot spots. The heat-sensitive foam in the deep, plush ear-cushions molds to ear or around glasses for a great fit and excellent noise attenuation.
Now with integrated cell phone and music interface.
The world’s smartest headset is now smarter. The Telex Stratus 50D Headset has a unique integrated adapter has inputs for cell phone and music. Audio adapter not available on Lemo connection version of the Stratus 50D headsets.

Sennheiser HMEC25-KAS Stereo ANR Aviation Headset
Posted by Pilot Shop in Headsets ANR on April 24th, 2009
A lightweight supraural closed cup Sennheiser headset designed to actively reduce cockpit noise, with dual volume control and stereo/mono switch. Individual volume controls.
This closed form means that this dynamic headset not only attenuates cockpit noise actively by way of the NoiseGard system but also provides passive protection against ambient noise in the high-frequency range. This combination of active and passive noise compensation allows the HMEC25 to cover the complete noise spectrum, thereby reducing the noise level by more than 15dB. The noise level is thus attenuated by about 65%!
