No other headset can match the Stratus 50 Digital for hearing protection. That's because only the Stratus 50 Digital features SmartSense(TM), a patented active noise reduction technology based on digital signal processing (DSP), to produce an incredible 50 dB of total noise protection!

The world's only "smart" headset"
SmartSense DSP technology targets low frequency and tonal noise that conventional ANR can't block. These are the frequencies that cause the most hearing damage. SmartSense continuously samples the cockpit, then learns and adjusts the headset to the unique noise signature of your aircraft. No other headset eliminates more damaging noise than the Stratus 50 Digital.

The Stratus 50 Digital also offers a powerful combination of comfort, convenience and performance features.

Create a comfortable, customized fit
Telex's patented ComfortCam(TM) system allows you to fine tune headband tension to eliminate clamping. Comfort is enhanced by a unique headband construction that distributes weight evenly for a perfect fit, plus thick foam headband pads and newly redesigned, more comfortable ear cushions.

Our smart headset just got smarter
Ear cup speakers and an electret microphone help eliminate incidental noise and a new, high-efficiency boom microphone helps conserve battery power. The Stratus 50 Digital also features Telex's innovative cell phone/MP3 adapter which allows you to attach both your cell phone and MP3 player at the same time - no more switching cords! Plus you can mute both at a flick of a switch.

Total Noise Reduction
50 dB ANR protection. The most protection you can buy!

Exclusive Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Technology
Patented SmartSense digital ANR technology cancels harmful frequencies other headsets can't handle. SmartSense learns from its environment, adjusting and canceling the harmful noises unique to your airplane. Because SmartSense looks for patterns of noise to block—such as repetitive engine or recurring wind sounds—you will always hear unusual noises that signal changes in the aircraft or environment. Traditional ANR muffles all sound—while digital cancels repetitive sounds.

Customize Your Headset for a Comfortable Fit
Telex's patented ComfortCam(TM) system allows you to adjust your headset for a custom fit. ComfortCam eliminates clamping—no matter how long you wear the headset.

Cell Phone/Audio Adaptor
Unique dual cell phone/audio device interface allows you to plug in both a cell phone and music device without switching cords. Both devices can be muted with one switch.

Advanced Microphone Technology
Telex invented the noise-canceling microphone for use in World War II combat. Telex supplied microphones for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programs and became the first aviation microphone to land on the moon. The heritage continues. The Stratus 50 Digital features a high-quality, noise-canceling electret microphone to ensure the clearest possible transmission.

Low Profile, Adjustable Headband
Low profile headband provides even distribution of weight without pressure points. Adjustment sliders allow you to select a custom fit while plush, soft headband cushion eliminates hot spots.

Impact-resistant Headband Design
The Stratus 50 Digital utilizes an impact-resistant headband design with stainless steel reinforced stress points to increase durability and distribute weight evenly.

Seal Out Sound. Seal In Comfort.
New heat-sensitive, slow-recovery foam earpiece cushions form a secure, but comfortable fit — even around sunglasses. Cushions have the luxurious feel of lambskin leather but repel moisture and oils—and are simple to clean.

Total Control Means Superior Sound
Dual volume with stereo and mono to ensure the best possible radio signal.

Boom Microphone
Flexible boom microphone converts to left or right side orientation and stays put after it is positioned.

Choose Your Power Source
Runs off four AA batteries or aircraft panel power with adapter (included).

Headset powers down when not in use to conserve batteries.

Flight Bag
Stylish, durable flight bag protects your investment.

Customer Reviews For Telex Stratus 50 Digital Headset: Write a review

Monday, June 01, 2009 Its Big by charles from jackson MS USA  Pros: individual volume adjustment, snug fit that is soft Cons: huge earmuff (you won't be using this headset with one ear covered and one off). Sliding adjustment for head size is awkward Review: Very comfortable , super quiet with every possible feature. A quality headset in line with my other (Bose av X). Friday, November 28, 2008 Excellent Headset by Mike Anderson from Livermore, Ca  Pros: Excellent active and passive noise reduction Cons: Big battery box. Review: I've used the set for about two years and 400+ hours. The passive noise reduction is superb and the active just enhances it. As others have stated the unit takes a few seconds to sample the ambient noise and kick it. If I tip my sun glasses so that they don't create gaps the the active reduction is outstanding. Now and then I will let guests use these when we are flying and I always miss them. The battery box is big and it takes 4 batteries but the cord is long. If the batteries are dead the passive is so good that you won't be suffering. Thursday, April 10, 2008 Telex not responsive by Brian from Zachary, LA  Pros: ANR worked fine after returned. Cons: Customer service, earmuffs and headbank deterioration. Review: I bought the Telex Stratus D instead of Lightspeed recommended to me. Stood by company from years of Telex use, but have to move on now. The headband and earmuffs peeled with material they used. Both earmuff covers split to reveal the foam. Just over three years with limited part time use. When I called, was told by Telex rep to go and buy some new earmuffs a #40 each and new headband. He stated yes they had a problem. I'm selling them cheap and getting a lightspeed. And this after I had sent it back twice early on for extreme feedback. Saturday, March 29, 2008 Top Notch - worth trying by CJ from DC, BWI  Pros: ANR, build quality, comfort Cons: Not the best for music Review: Have used this headset for four years, and really like it. While slightly bigger than others, its fits my head and feels no different than the competition in terms of weight or size. Comfortable earpads and headband. The ANR comes on in stages, as it listens to the ambient noise - after a couple seconds, it "locks on" to tonal noise (like a steady RPM propeller) and really quiets things down. Quieter than the 25XL, 30-3G and better built. At least as quiet as the Bose in a 182, and better passive (and cheaper). Battery box is a bit big, but I just turn it on and drop it. Try this with yours: put the headset on and get close to a telephone speakerphone with the dial tone on loud - after a couple secs, in the Stratus you can barely hear it!! Use good rechargeables, like the Eneloop AA, which last months for me. Telex provides excellent service/support. Overall, very happy with them. Monday, October 15, 2007 Good Performer by David from Falmouth ME USA  Pros: Comfortable, Noise reduction. Cons: Box for the ANR is kind of bulky - you need a side pocket to clip it to. Review: I bought this for the noise reduction and it has not dissapointed. You don't notice a huge reduction when turning on the ANR, but I suspect that is because the passive reduction is pretty darn good on it's own. I have not used any other ANR headsets so I cannot compare that aspect. Comfort is good. I have not noticed the weight or so called "bulkyness". Thursday, May 24, 2007 Great Headset by William Redick from Omaha, NE  Pros: Quite Cons: Clumbsy Review: This headset does and works as advertised. It is a little bigger than some which makes it a little harder to put on and off, store, etc. In place, it is very comfortable. I like the idea I can use my mp3 player and listen to music while I am flying.
