G2 ANR Headset

Customer Reviews

The set performs as well as the Lightspeed I have except that it only runs about five hours on a set of batteries. It needs a aux conection to an apu to be competative. Review by Bob

I like the headset but I would not buy another one until the power usage problem is solved by a aux power connection or a "sleep function" where the set turns off when not used for say one minute.

-- FARO: Thank you for your feedback. Auxiliary Power is available as a special order. Please contact FARO Customer Service via 1-855-359-3276. Faro headsets now use 2 AA vs 9 volt, this will provide longer battery life (about 30 hours per two AA). (Posted on 3/22/13)

After several flights with the ANR headset I find that it is comfortable and the ANR function works very well. The fact that the headsete uses readily available AA batteries is also a positive feature. (Posted on 3/19/13)

Two small issues. One is that the 9v battery seems to have a short life, but from reading the other comments, I guess you have corrected this. The only other issue is that when I made a call from the end of the runway before takeoff although I could hear fine, the person I called had problems hearing. Oerall, I would recommend the Faro to my friends. I used my partner's BOSE headset the other day and prefer the Faro.

This is my first headset I purchased. At first they are really tight; but I guess that's to accommodate different size of heads. What I did was pull it over my son's lunch box for the night. Perfect! And I would have liked a longer mic boom.
Now when you put it on in the plane it is a little noise like a pnr headset; until you flip the switch. Bam! Sounds great. Crystal clear coms. Makes a big difference with the anr turned on. And the gel ear cups are very nice and comfortable. I do not hang them on the yolk like others have done and pulled the ear piece off. Learn from others mistakes. But they are very nice and worth the money for sure. I will be buying another pair for my son when he starts flying lessons this summer.
My instructor wears the bose headset; and they are a little better. But at 3 times the cost for that little bit more. I don't think it's worth the extra $750 for the bose or $700 for the zulu 2 either. These are just as quiet and have the same noise reduction. I Definitely recommend. This would have been 5 stars for the comfort if they would extend the mic boom and maybe add some optional cloth ear piece covers. (Posted on 3/10/13)

I have enjoyed this headset. My only complaint is more about vanity than function: the earpieces are rather thick, so they have a considerably wider profile than other headsets. It isn't a huge deal, but those earpieces stick out pretty far on either side of your head. The ANR is great and they are a great value for the price. (Posted on 3/10/13)
