Rugged Radios Rugged Air RA980 Bluetooth Cell Phone ANR General Aviation Pilot Headset
The RA980 delivers premium audio clarity, active noise reduction, and Bluetooth connectivity — all in an ultra-lightweight carbon fiber design. Engineered for pilots who demand top-tier performance and comfort, the RA980 combines professional-grade features with modern styling and unmatched value.
Powered by two AA batteries, the control module has a power indication light so you can always know how much battery life you have left. In the event of the batteries going completely dead, the headset is still able to provide passive noise reduction with a rating of 20dB.
The control module also houses everything you need to control your Bluetooth auxiliary functions including Bluetooth pairing, answering phone calls and adjusting music volume. It even allows you to set your mode to radio priority where auxiliary functions are dimmed when a radio transmission comes through, no priority where all channels are open and heard equally or radio only where auxiliary functions are turned off completely. An auto shut-off will turn the Bluetooth off after 5 minutes of no use.
