Aerotion Aviation - AS1 Active Aviation Headset

I started flying in 1965 on Chipmunks. Since then I have flown a large variety of aircraft form Multi-engined down to Instructing on Flex-wing microlights. My old faithful ( named brand) passive headset of 35 years was becoming tired so I needed to replace it. Given my own continued expectancy in flying being limited I didnt wan’t to spend £ 1,000 s. I decided to try a new fangled noise cancelling headset . As I was taught to fly using stick , rudder , and Dalton computer ,electronics are a mystery to me. I put on my new Aerotion headset whilst a business jet was starting up next to me on the stand. What a revelation when I switched it on - it completely removed the jet noise. Comms with Tower and radar were much clearer . It is extremely comfortable and for such a competitively priced product I cannot recommend it highly enough. I think I will wear it all the time around the house in order to cancel out my wife’s complaints about the time I spend flying !!

For the price they are very good, however they have a very high clamping pressure which seems to exceed even DC’s, which in turn is a lot higher than Bose. The ANR again is good but leaves the sound sounding a little tinny compared to DC’s and Bose.

So for an occasion use they are a good buy e.g. for a passenger headset.

If you fly many hours as I do I cannot see myself using them.

It should come as no surprise that these do not perform as well as Bose A20's, but having worn both headsets, the Aerotion Aviation - AS1 Active Aviation Headset is so close to the Bose ones that some would not easily tell the difference. Now, Aerotion sub £300, Bose well over £1,000, let me think 🤔. If you just MUST have the Bose name then go buy them, but if you want a darned good headset that performs exceptionally well with ANR that does everything you could want, with an aux input for phone/tablets running sky demon, then buy these. You will not be disappointed. I thought they couldn't be nearly as good as they are at this price but I won't buy anything else now when I need more. Oh, plus of course, the guy in the right hand seat said the sound was clear as a bell !

Very good

Very happy so far.
