Rugged Air Headsets

Find Rugged Air headsets for flight training, recreational flying and passenger use at Pilot Shop New Zealand. The collection includes fixed-wing and helicopter aviation headsets, a children’s model and active noise reduction options. From a straightforward first headset to a model with stereo audio or Bluetooth, compare the features that matter to your aircraft, budget and flying routine.

For student pilots and those looking for a spare or passenger headset, the Rugged Air RA200 combines passive noise reduction with an adjustable stainless steel headband, a flexible microphone boom and dual GA plugs. Its 3.5 mm audio input provides a wired connection for compatible devices. The RA900 adds features such as gel ear seals, dual volume controls, stereo audio and a headset-mounted push-to-talk button. Check compatibility with your aircraft’s communications system before relying on any additional controls.

If you prefer active noise reduction, compare the Rugged Air RA950 and RA980 aviation headsets. The RA950 offers ANR, stereo audio with a mono/stereo switch and an AA battery compartment. The RA980 adds Bluetooth phone and music functions, carbon fibre ear cups and selectable audio priority settings. Both models also provide passive noise reduction when their ANR power is unavailable. Review each product’s power requirements and audio controls to choose the setup that suits your flying.

For helicopter use, the Rugged Air RA620 features a U-174 plug, coiled cable, passive noise reduction and an adjustable headband. The RA250 fixed-wing children’s headset is sized for smaller heads, with an adjustable fit, dual plugs and a wired audio input for compatible devices. A secure, comfortable fit is an important part of choosing a headset for a younger passenger, so compare the model’s sizing and features with the wearer’s needs.

Before ordering a Rugged Air pilot headset, confirm your aircraft’s headset sockets and intercom requirements, then compare ear seals, microphone adjustment, audio connections and battery needs. Features vary between models, so Bluetooth, stereo audio and active noise reduction should be checked on the individual product page.
