Faro G2 Passive Aviation Headset - Ultimate Comfort & 26dB Noise Reduction RFAR200-BLK

How much noise does the Faro G2 passive headset reduce?

The Faro G2 provides up to 26dB of passive noise reduction. It blocks ambient cockpit noise using ultra-thick gel ear cushions and a padded headband rather than electronic active cancellation. This passive design needs no batteries to function, delivering consistent, dependable quieting for general aviation flying without any power source.

What is the difference between the Faro G2 passive headset and an ANR version?

This G2 is the passive (PNR) model. It reduces noise mechanically with thick gel ear seals and a padded headband, providing up to 26dB of reduction and requiring no batteries. Active noise reduction (ANR) headsets add electronic cancellation powered by batteries. The passive G2 is a lighter, lower-maintenance choice for everyday general aviation flying.

Is the Faro G2 comfortable enough for long flights?

Comfort is a core focus of the Faro G2. It features ultra-thick gel ear cushions and a large, soft padded headband for all-day wear, helping it stay comfortable during extended flight operations. The snug fit also blocks ambient cockpit noise, so it suits everything from busy training environments to quiet recreational flights.

Is the Faro G2 a good headset for student pilots and flight training?

Yes. The Faro G2 passive model is a popular choice for student pilots and flight training because it pairs reliable 26dB noise reduction and clear communication with a comfortable, low-maintenance design that needs no batteries. The three-year replacement warranty adds peace of mind during frequent training flights in typical general aviation trainers.

Can I connect my phone, tablet, or music player to the Faro G2?

Yes. The Faro G2 includes auxiliary input compatibility so you can connect a phone, tablet, MP3 player, radio, or similar device for entertainment or extra audio on longer flights. This wired auxiliary connection brings outside audio into the headset while you fly, adding versatility on top of standard cockpit communication.

Does the Faro G2 passive headset have Bluetooth?

No. This Faro G2 passive model does not include Bluetooth. To play music or audio from a phone or tablet, you use the wired auxiliary input instead of a wireless connection. The headset focuses on comfortable passive noise reduction and clear cockpit communication, with the aux input handling outside audio through a standard wired cable.

What type of microphone does the Faro G2 use and is the audio clear?

The Faro G2 uses a noise-canceling Electret microphone engineered for precise, crystal-clear communications. The design keeps your transmissions crisp by reducing background cockpit noise picked up by the mic. Combined with the headset's passive ear seals, it helps both your incoming and outgoing audio stay clear and intelligible during flight.

Does the Faro G2 have separate volume controls for each ear?

Yes. The Faro G2 provides independent volume control on each ear cup, letting you adjust the left and right sides separately. This is useful when one ear needs more or less volume, or for balancing intercom and radio audio to your preference. The dual controls add fine tuning that many single-knob passive headsets do not offer.

What type of plug does the Faro G2 passive headset use?

This Faro G2 passive headset is built for general aviation aircraft, with two separate plugs that connect to the microphone and headphone jacks found in typical Cessna, Piper, and similar trainers. If you fly a helicopter, confirm the correct connector with our support team before purchasing, since helicopter panels use a different single-plug setup.

How much does the Faro G2 passive headset weigh?

The Faro G2 passive headset weighs about 22 ounces. That moderate weight is paired with ultra-thick gel ear cushions and a large, soft padded headband, which help spread the load and keep the headset comfortable during longer flights. The balance between sturdy construction and cushioning is part of why pilots find it comfortable for extended wear.

Is the Faro G2 passive headset TSO certified?

The Faro G2 passive headset is not TSO certified. TSO is a technical standard order approval that some pilots look for, though many general aviation headsets used in training and recreational flying are not TSO certified. For specific certification requirements for your operation, confirm details with our support team before purchasing.

What warranty comes with the Faro G2 passive headset?

The Faro G2 is backed by a three-year replacement warranty, reflecting Faro's confidence in its craftsmanship. The coverage provides peace of mind whether you are flying solo or instructing. This headset also ships free within the United States on orders over $100. For full terms or any claim details, contact our support team before purchasing or filing a warranty request.
