Faro G2 ANR Aviation Headset: Ultimate Noise Cancelling Comfort RFAR300-BLK

How much cockpit noise does the Faro G2 ANR headset block?

The Faro G2 ANR delivers up to 26 dB of total noise reduction. A dual-layer design pairs passive sound absorption through soft, cushioned ear seals with active noise reduction electronics. The active circuit detects incoming cockpit noise and generates anti-noise signals to cancel unwanted frequencies, helping keep air traffic control communication clear throughout your flight.

How much does the Faro G2 ANR weigh and is it comfortable for long flights?

The headset weighs about 13 ounces without the cord assembly, keeping it light for extended cockpit time. A large, soft cushioned head pad and plush ear cushions help reduce fatigue on long flights. Independent volume controls for each ear and an adjustable microphone boom let you fine-tune comfort and communication for your seating position.

What batteries does the Faro G2 ANR use and how long do they last?

The G2 ANR runs on two AA batteries and provides up to 30 hours of active noise reduction per set, depending on use. It includes an automatic shutoff feature that helps preserve power when the headset sits idle. Keeping a spare set of AA batteries in your flight bag is a simple way to stay covered on longer trips.

Can I use longer lasting lithium AA batteries in the Faro G2 ANR?

Yes. The G2 ANR is powered by two standard AA batteries, so you can use either alkaline or lithium AA cells. Lithium cells tend to be lighter and run longer than alkaline, which many pilots prefer for extended cross country flights. Whichever chemistry you choose, carry a spare set so you stay covered on longer trips.

Will the Faro G2 ANR still work if the batteries die?

Yes. The G2 ANR uses a dual-layer design that combines passive sound absorption with active noise reduction, so it keeps working as a standard passive headset when the batteries run out or the active circuit is switched off. You will still hear radio and intercom audio through the cushioned ear seals until you install fresh batteries.

How do I turn on the active noise reduction on the Faro G2 ANR?

Install two AA batteries, then flip the power switch on the control module to activate active noise reduction. If you ever forget to power it on, the G2 still functions as a passive headset, so you never lose radio or intercom audio. The automatic shutoff also helps conserve battery power whenever the headset is left idle.

Does the Faro G2 ANR have Bluetooth or an auxiliary audio input?

The Faro G2 ANR does not include Bluetooth. It does offer a universal 3.5 mm auxiliary audio input, so you can connect an MP3 player, iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Android device using the included cable. If wireless streaming is essential to you, plan on a wired connection here or consider a separate Bluetooth-equipped headset model instead.

What type of microphone does the Faro G2 ANR use?

The Faro G2 ANR uses a microphone mounted on a fully adjustable boom. You can reposition the flexible boom to place the mic close to your mouth for the clearest transmissions in your seating position. Paired with the independent ear volume controls, it helps you keep communication crisp for air traffic control and other crew.

What plugs does the Faro G2 ANR use, and will it fit my aircraft?

Connector configurations can differ between fixed wing, helicopter, and panel powered installations, so connectors are not interchangeable across every aircraft. Before flying with this model, confirm that the plugs match the jacks in your panel. If you are unsure which configuration your aircraft uses, contact us and we can help you verify compatibility before you buy.

What warranty comes with the Faro G2 ANR, and is it TSO certified?

The Faro G2 ANR is backed by a full-coverage 3-year replacement warranty, which reflects Faro's confidence in its reliability for flight schools, aircraft operators, and individual pilots. This headset is not TSO certified. That is typical for general aviation headsets and does not affect everyday use in most light aircraft, where TSO approval is generally not required.

How does the Faro G2 ANR compare to premium headsets like Bose?

The Faro G2 ANR is a value focused active noise reduction headset that delivers strong cockpit quieting and clear communication at a far lower cost than top tier models. Premium headsets may add features such as Bluetooth and use lighter materials, but many pilots find the G2 a capable everyday choice when budget matters and wireless streaming is not required.

What comes in the box with the Faro G2 ANR?

The Faro G2 ANR arrives with the headset itself and a 3.5 mm auxiliary cable for connecting a phone, tablet, or music player. You add two AA batteries to power the active noise reduction, since cells are not included. Check the included paperwork for the 3-year warranty and quick start details before your first flight.
