It's a great headset at a great price!"Trevor "Dozen" Aldridge, Pilot (Fighters, Corporate, Aerobatic, GA) @n70tb"I love the product. It's the most comfortable headset I have ever had."Martin Pauly, Flight Instructor, Aviation YouTuber, Bonanza ownerWhat makes the AXIS unique? Small details make the difference.On long flights, even the smallest details matter. Does it feel good when wearing sunglasses? Are there annoying pressure points or sharp edges? Does the microphone stay where you put it? Unsatisfied with the competing headsets, we decided to develop a product that feels great even after hours in the air.Innovative FlexiFrameTo ensure maximum conformity to your specific head shape, the metal headset frame is highly flexible. This allows the headset to be stored completely flat. The mic can also be worn on either the left or right side. Check out how the AXIS stacks up against other headsets. Make outbound phone callsWhile most other headsets only provide AUX input, you can use the AXIS to make outgoing phone calls using the provided AUX cable.And with our bluetooth-compatible Azul model, calls can be made wirelessly by pairing with a mobile device.Sleek, minimalist styleEvery detail of the AXIS experience was designed to look and feel good. Matching black acoustic tubes give a clean, minimalist appearance compared to competing in-ear headsets. QualityWe carefully selected the highest quality electronic and acoustical components (premium Knowles™ microphone, drivers, and dampers) for high-quality, reliable audio.Each headset undergoes a series of comprehensive functional checks, including an automated acoustical test against RTCA DO-214A standards, and a manual test of all functionality.  DurabilityDespite its light weight, the AXIS is extremely durable. The extra-long strain reliefs at the intercom jacks provide exceptional cable protection. The cable is made from tough, flexible thermoplastic elastomer, with high-strength polyamide fiber reinforcement and shielding from external signal interference.Unlike some competitor headsets which have delicate speaker electronics just outside the ear tips, AXIS speakers are safely located in durable nylon capsules on the frame. This reduces the risk of damage from moisture/wax, or from tugging on thin wires. The speakers connect to the ear tips through strong, flexible acoustic tubing which is easily user-replaceable. Demonstration of AXIS durability A headset that adapts to your unique needs as a pilot. Adjustable mic gainWe offer a user-adjustable microphone gain across all headset models so you can set the gain most appropriate for your aircraft. Pilots flying aircraft with a HOT mic system (such as the ERJ/CRJ) may benefit from the LOW gain setting. Left/right seat adaptabilityThe headset can be adapted in seconds for use in either the left or right seat – ideal for check airmen and flight instructors. Switch microphone between left/right sides simply by bending the frame. A wide range of ear tipsThree sizes of pillow-soft Comply™ ear tips are provided with each headset. (Refurbished models include one pair of medium size Comply™ ear tips)The headset is compatible with additional ear tips, such as 3M™ foam and triple flange styles. These can be purchased separately via the Ear Tip Variety Pack.The headset is also compatible with custom earmolds (see FAQ).Smart Storage for Pilots on the Move Slim and DurableThanks to its unique flexible frame, the headset is designed for ultra-compact, flat storage in its custom-designed case.The case is made with ballistic nylon fabric for maximum durability. For optimal organization, the case includes compartments for storing spare ear tips, and is perfectly sized to fit documents such as your pilot certificate and passport. Easily present your documents while jumpseating. Our Azul model case features an additional outer pocket for quick access. AXIS Azul - Our fully-featured model with bluetooth supportBluetooth v5.0 compatibility •Supports A2DP 1.3, AVRCP 1.6, HFP 1.7.2 and HSP 1.2 connection profiles. The headset also supports multi-link capability, allowing for 2 simultaneous connections, for example, an EFB and mobile phone. A selectable auto-mute function temporarily silences media audio when incoming radio or intercom audio is received.Braided cable •Commonly used in the IEM market, the braided cable is the ultimate combination of durability and flexibility. The cable is constructed with tough materials, aramid fiber reinforcement and is provided with an integrated lapel clip. The extreme flexibility provides minimal perception and tugging on the headset during use. (Braid pattern may vary between production batches)Rechargable battery •Contains a user-replaceable battery, chargable via an integrated USB Type-C port.Over-head wearing •This model gives you more options for how to wear your headset. By attaching two included snap-on side pads, the AXIS can be worn on top of your head, leaving your ears completely pressure-free. It may also be worn in the standard way (on top of the ears). The microphone boom length is about 1 inch longer than our standard version, allowing for more optimal positioning.Enhanced AUX output •Optional mode allows intercom and radio audio to be output to the AUX connector which can be used to record flight audio using an external recording device. Other features (all models)AUX input •Using the provided 3.5 mm TRRS AUX input cable, you can stream audio from a smartphone/tablet to your headset.AUX output •Using the provided audio cable, you can connect your headset to a smartphone to make phone calls (such as to maintenance, a clearance delivery phone number, or during a worst-case lost communications scenario) without taking your headset off.Wearing headset on neck •If you want to use the headset as a passenger (such as during a commute) and avoid having a microphone in front of your mouth, you may purchase a set of long tubes and wear the headset around your neck. (Note: Long tubes are also included with the Azul model)Lapel clip •Attach to part of your clothes or the aircraft to create cable slack.Ear cushions •For those with sensitive ears, six cushions are provided that can be attached to the frame over the ears in order to enhance comfort.

These feel lighter than air, as if wearing nothing at all. There is no squeeze around my head. Overall, this is the very best headset device I’ve ever encountered."L.C., Embraer 175 Captain"This headset was far more comfortable relative to other ANR and in-ear headsets I have worn. Overall I would give this headset a two thumbs up. By far the most comfortable and practical headset for 121 turbojet operations."F.O., Embraer 175 Captain"I’ve flown almost 50 hours with the AXIS headset. Different intercoms and audio panels and so far it's the best headset I’ve used hands down! Noise reduction is on par with the [competitor in-ear headset], but your headset is more comfortable. Plus, I really appreciate the compact storage case."A.B., Flight Instructor (KRNT airport)"Lightweight and nothing on my head. Very quiet."C.W., Embraer 175 Captain"Correctly positioned, the headset was very comfortable with no ear tugging or microphone placement issues. The black foam tips worked perfectly."D.H., Cessna 172 pilot (KTRI airport)"Enjoying the headset very much. I feel much more comfortable with it now and I’m getting better at putting the ear plugs in. The set has thus far worked flawlessly. The headset gets better with each use as I get used to it. Extremely comfy, easy to pack, light weight and no more clamp head."K.O., Embraer 175 Captain"Overall the design is more comfortable than my [high-end ANR headset] after a full day."Z.S., CRJ-700 First Officer"Very well built. The headset case is awesome in that it is much smaller than any other headset case I have used."J.S., Embraer 175 First Officer"They are an innovative design and I do like that they are much less intrusive/more comfortable - especially if wearing a hood."D.C., Flight instructor (EGBJ airport)"Had 5 flights last week and wore the Axis for all but one of them. I did this to baseline myself to what I was used to. Although not noise canceling, the Axis has better sound quality compared to the [high-end ANR headset]. I would have never thought I would say or even think that. "P.B., Flight instructor in Virginia
