Detailed Description

The ProMax Passive (PNR) headset from Pilot USA is engineered for pilots seeking a reliable, no-electronics, passive solution with modern flexibility. At approximately 14.9 oz (422 g), it ranks among the lightest headsets in its class while delivering robust noise attenuation and connectivity features.

The headset supports simultaneous use of two audio sources (e.g. intercom and tablet), and features a record-out jack to capture radio audio on cameras or recorders. A USB-C port allows external power to extend performance beyond AA battery life.
