A World of Difference

"I’ve been using a...headset that I bought used in 1980. Over the years I have upgraded it with a boom mic, gel filled ear seals of several types and have enjoyed the service it has given me. Lately, the noise levels have just been too high (I fly a Twin Otter) and that top cushion just wasn’t cutting it anymore....I ordered your upgrade kit. Best headset decision I ever made!!!! The SoftTop® Headset Cushion and the ear seals make a world of difference!" — B.B.

Headset Upgraded at the Show

“I wanted to take just a minute to tell you about our headsets that we had modified last year at the EAA convention at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I operate a North American B-25 Mitchell bomber from WWII.
This aircraft was built to carry 7 men and 3500 lbs of bombs to the target and maybe come back home and that is it. In doing the job it was designed for, it has not been modified for any "creature comforts" at all. It is hot, fumey, rattlely and extremely noisy.

A Comfortable Headset

"Oregon Aero (manufactures) a terrific headset upgrade which cut down noise by 5dB and made our (headsets) more comfortable." — Gary Burns, pilot of the first around-the-world flight by a homebuilt Lancair IV

No Longer Distracted By Pain and Noise

"The demands of airshow flying exaggerate the issues of cockpit comfort! Our airplanes are designed with performance as the highest goal, and max performance often means sacrifices for the guy who’s doing the driving. Before I discovered Oregon Aero products, I dreaded each cross-country, and I tried not to think about the bruises and ear damage I endured with each performance.
