Review: Brilliant Product! I have been a Bose A20 user for years - I was extremely sceptical about this and almost did not buy it. I have been a Bose A20 user for years and love my A20. Light speed, David Clarks etc., simply could not hold a candle to my A20s. Last year I bought a Quiet Technologies headset, light weight in the ear kind. Cost $100 more than the FARO Air. It "was" brilliant until it stopped working on me. The thing about the QT headset that always bugged me was the build quality. Tubes hanging out, the ear plugs were kind of "interesting", heck the whole thing was assembled using cheap plastic components etc. etc. But the idea was brilliant, just outstanding. So when I saw the FARO Air, I remembered how nice the QT headset felt on the ... Well around the head, cause there's nothing on the head. That was mixed with how it just stopped working on me. As cool as headsets are, their prime directive if you will is to "JUST WORK". So I bought these, they showed up just in time for my long trip (almost 6 hours of flying) and I did not get to try them before I left on my trip. 6 hours of flying later, I love them. The build quality is SOLID, extremely well put together. The audio quality is really good, crystal clear both mic and speakers. No issues on my end or ATCs. I have a stero capable audio panel and I left the set on "Stereo", balanced sound to both ears. Started with the regular buds and swapped mid flight to the large buds, the PNR was better than my A20 ANR (and that's saying something). The buds did not irritate my ear canals, they just stayed there, snug n quiet. I streamed music off my phone through my audio panel, nice, real nice. The headset did not fall off or move, took me a little bit to figure out how to adjust it, but that's all it took. As sceptical as I was, I was even more impressed. Now thing I wish FARO would have done... 1. Include a carrying case, I mean really FARO? Every headset needs to come with a case and you would literally get a custom FARO case for pennies. There really is no excuse not to give this headset a customized case. 2. Ear cushions: FARO includes a small foam roll. I honestly feel they can do better. The foam was not cut properly, looked like a 2nd grader cut them, and in a hurry. The foam is held in place by a small cap which I'm sure will fall off. I need to tape that in place before I lose mine. 3. The band: Yes it's light, but it is a metal band. The metal is hard and not easy to adjust. I am sure FARO can find a better material to make that band. To be fair, Clarity Alofts, I looked at their latest model that my buddy bought and I was scared to buy them, the flimsiness reminded me of my QT ones. (But the Clarity came with a case, as did the QT, did I say what a pet peeve that is... Just annoying see #1 above) 4. The part of the headset on the left where the microphone comes out of. It has a neoprene like material behind it (that box is really small, about 1" x 1" and about half an inch thick). But it itches where it sits right behind the ear. Maybe use a softer natural material instead of neoprene / whatever that thing is made of. Not withstanding all of the above, will I recommend this... Absolutely yes, more than the Bose A20, more than the Clarity ALoft and definitely more than the QT. Now hopefully this stands the test of time (we'll see, I'll remember to update this review). Do I miss ANR, nopes. Comfortable... Yes, Light... Yes. Made in China... Ehhhh., Whatever, worth buying, I definitely think so. I rated it a 5 but there's definitely a few small things Faro can do to make this amazing! Please start with the case! I'll post some pics later.
Review: Fair noise cancellation. Uncertain about durability - I have used these for a bit over a year, in an airline cockpit. The noise canceling is fair, at best , provided by the foam earpieces. My big concern is durability. The headsets are showing considerable signs of wear particularly in the boom Mike (kinks or bumps) On the plus side the headset is very light and comfortable to wear for long periods.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with a case?**
A: It does not come with a case. We recommend the Aero Phoenix Professional Pilot Headset Pouch as an add-on item.

**Q: Is this headset for Airbus aircraft?**
A: Yes. It could be used in any standard two cable PJ headset plug.

**Q: Can the microphone be placed on either side ?**
A: No, it is not reversible so it will only go on your head with the mic on your left side

**Q: Does this work with hot mic systems like on the ERJ145, or does it result in a lot of noise?**
A: I use it in the E190 and it works well with the hot mic and for radio transmissions. I don’t get much, if any noise, and the intercom sounds clear to me. I haven’t received any complaints from the other pilots either.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2 years and 5 months honest review
*by J***N on July 29, 2025*

I have Bose A20 and this headset. I bought it in Feb 2023 while having RMA for A20. This one's affordable, lightweight, and comfortable. Sound quality w/ANC, A20 is better for sure. But if you fly turbine jet and fly 4-5 hours continuosly in a day A20 clamping force and weight can be uncomfortable. And I just received a warranty service. Faro literally sent me a new headset. I am 100% satisfied their customer support. This headset would be a good alternative to Clarity Aloft one.
