If anybody has learned how difficult it is to put a 5lb in a 2lb bag, it's the folks at Pilot Communications. Mid-way through the Sun n Fun Aerospace Expo this year, we chatted with Cyrus Akrati about new offerings from Pilot Communications... We're talking seriously lightweight – about 10 oz or so – and a feature set that would choke a horse. On top of that, there is a Bluetooth module (pairable with up to TWO devices) that offers additional flexibility, and capability.
With aggressive 5-year warranties, Pilot Communications offers both a passive noise reduction-style headset (the Carbon P-1), along with one equipped with ANR (the Carbon A-1). With basic pricing ranging from $350 to $650 (before accessories like Bluetooth), the value is evident. Join ANN as we get an onsite look at the latest headsets from Pilot Communications.
