David Clark Jet Passive Dual-Plug Aviation Headset: Ultra-Light 4.5 oz, TSO-Certified 43108G-01

How much does the David Clark Jet passive headset weigh?

It weighs just 4.5 ounces, making it one of the lightest TSO certified aviation headsets available. The ultra-light build is engineered to reduce head and neck fatigue during long flights, ground delays, and multi-leg duty days, so professional jet pilots can stay comfortable and alert from departure through landing.

Is this headset passive or active noise cancelling?

This is a passive noise attenuation headset. It has no active noise reduction electronics, no batteries, and no power module. Because there are no electronics to fail, it delivers dependable, maintenance-light performance. David Clark also offers separate active noise reduction models if you specifically want ANR.

Does the David Clark Jet headset need batteries or aircraft power?

No. As a passive headset it requires no batteries and no aircraft power to operate. There is nothing to charge, swap, or run flat in flight. This keeps the headset simple and reliable, and it means there is no battery compartment or inline control module adding weight to the cable.

What microphone does this headset use?

It uses a high-performance electret noise cancelling microphone mounted on an adjustable boom. The boom holds its position for precise, repeatable mic placement near the mouth, and the noise cancelling element helps deliver clear transmissions over cockpit and cabin background sound.

Is the David Clark Jet headset TSO certified?

Yes. It is FAA TSO-C139a certified, the standard that applies to aviation headsets and microphones, so it meets rigorous airline and professional flight operation requirements. The manufacturer part number is 43108G-01. TSO certification is one reason it is a trusted choice for commercial and business jet flight decks.

What type of plug or connector does this version use?

This version uses standard dual aviation plugs, also called twin general aviation plugs. They are compatible with most business jet and general aviation audio panels that use the common two-plug connection, which helps eliminate connection issues when you move between aircraft.

What aircraft is the David Clark Jet headset designed for?

It is designed for professional pilots flying jet aircraft, where cockpit noise levels are typically lower than in piston airplanes. The standard dual plug connection fits most business jet audio panels. It is not intended as a primary headset for loud piston aircraft, which call for higher passive attenuation or ANR.

How comfortable is it for long flights and for pilots who wear glasses?

The headset uses a rest-on-ear design with plush leatherette seals over memory foam that cradle the ears gently, plus Outlast head pad technology that absorbs heat and wicks moisture to keep you cool. The light 4.5 ounce weight and on-ear fit suit pilots who wear glasses or frequently switch headgear.

What is the Outlast head pad and why does it matter?

Outlast is a temperature-regulating material in the headband pad that absorbs excess heat and wicks moisture away from your head. On long routes, in warm climates, or during ground delays it helps keep you cooler and more comfortable than a standard foam pad, which supports focus and reduces fatigue across a full duty day.

Does it have Bluetooth or an auxiliary audio input?

No. This is a focused passive communication headset, so it does not include Bluetooth wireless or an auxiliary audio input jack. If you want wireless calls, music streaming, or device audio mixing, look at a David Clark model that lists those features, such as a Bluetooth equipped ANR headset.
