Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Telex Airman 8+ need batteries?

No. The Airman 8+ is a battery-free ANR headset. Rather than using replaceable batteries or a separate battery box, it draws power directly from your aircraft's electrical system through the headset connection. There is nothing to charge or swap out, so the active noise reduction is ready whenever the aircraft is powered.

How is the battery-free active noise reduction powered, and what does the aircraft need to supply?

Because the Airman 8+ carries no batteries, its active noise reduction draws power directly from the aircraft's electrical system through the headset connection. The aircraft audio system must supply that power for the ANR to work. Before ordering, confirm your aircraft delivers power at the headset jacks so the noise reduction functions as intended.

Is the Airman 8+ a good choice for general aviation piston aircraft?

The Airman 8+ is designed for professional and commercial flight decks, and its battery-free ANR relies on power supplied through the aircraft's audio system. Some light general aviation piston aircraft may not provide that power at the headset jacks. If you fly a basic piston single, verify your panel can power the headset before choosing this model.

Is the Airman 8+ FAA approved, and what standards does it meet?

Yes. The Telex Airman 8+ carries FAA TSO C-139a approval and is built to meet RTCA DO-160G and DO-214A standards for safety and reliability. This compliance is one reason flight training organizations and corporate fleet operators choose it. The certification reflects testing for the demands of professional aviation use.

What type of microphone does the Airman 8+ use?

The Airman 8+ uses a clear voice microphone on a flexible boom for reliable communication on busy flight decks. It also includes an acoustic limiter that helps protect your hearing from sudden loud noises. The microphone is built around professional flight communication rather than music or entertainment audio, keeping transmissions clear in demanding cockpit environments.

How much does the Telex Airman 8+ weigh, and is it comfortable for long flights?

The Airman 8+ weighs 4.4 ounces. Telex pairs that lightweight build with premium leatherette ear cushions and two interchangeable soft headband pads for a personalized fit, along with dual-axis pivot points and a stainless steel headband. The design is intended to reduce fatigue across extended flights.

What is the Airman 8+ made of, and how durable is it?

The Airman 8+ features stainless steel construction, including a stainless steel headband, paired with dual-axis pivot points and a yoke design that adds rotation stabilization for a secure fit. This build is intended for the durability that commercial aviation demands, and the low-maintenance battery-free design reduces parts that can wear out or fail over time.

Does the Airman 8+ have Bluetooth or an auxiliary audio input?

No. The Airman 8+ is focused on professional flight communication and does not include Bluetooth wireless or an auxiliary audio input for music or phone streaming. Its priorities are battery-free active noise reduction, a clear voice microphone, lightweight comfort, and durability. Pilots wanting wireless music streaming should consider a headset built specifically for that feature.

What connector or configuration options does the Airman 8+ come in?

The Airman 8+ is available in two configurations: Dual Plugs (2PJ) for most general aviation and turbine aircraft, and Airbus (XLR5) for Airbus flight decks. Select the version that matches your aircraft's audio panel when ordering.

What warranty comes with the Telex Airman 8+?

The Telex Airman 8+ is backed by a three-year warranty from Telex. Combined with its stainless steel headband, dual-axis pivot points, and low-maintenance battery-free design, the warranty reflects the headset's focus on long-term durability and reliability for the demanding commercial and corporate aviation use it is built for.
