Great. More sturdy than regular Clarity

  • By A Customer from Atlanta, GA on Friday, May 13, 2016
  • Pros: light, very quiet, cheaper than ANR
  • Cons: Consumable ear plugs
  • Review: I had the regular headset for 5 years and almost 3000 hours. It finally got to worn out and I went with this version since my airline requires TSO'd headsets. Just as comfortable as the regular Clarity with a reinforced mic boom(the part that broke on my old one).

    If it's too tight or too loose around the head then carefully bend the frame as desired.

    It's almost uncomfortably quiet. It takes a little getting used to since it's even more quiet than any ANR set out there.

    To save on buying the foam earplugs, wash them with your whites in a lingerie bag and let dry thoroughly when they need replacing. They're 85% or so as good as new when you do that.

I like it

  • By Jack09 from Turkiye on Thursday, February 25, 2016
  • Pros: Lightweight, easy to carry.
  • Cons: Mic seems frigile, I hope not. Mic position and adjustment not easy everytime.
  • Review: I've already had Bose A20. I honestly can say A20 is much better for noise cancelimg and voice clarity. But after a couple hours it gives pain. It is very heavy. That is why I search for lightweight headset. I bought this product. I choose this model because of what I read from comments that mic is problematic. I've used CA for 2 mounts. I am very happy with it. I'll not go back A20. Noise canceling and voice quality not good as A20, but good enough for me. Easy to carry. Lightweight. While listening music you can get outcoming calls clearly. It doesn't cut he music.
    I recommend to everyone.
    I forgot to mention that I'm B737 Captain.

  • By Kalvin 121 pilot. from Saint George UT USA on Thursday, November 30, 2017
  • Pros: Crystal clear sound. And light and comfortable.
  • Cons: Pricey but it's worth it.
  • Review: This Clarity Aloft Pro plus has met all my needs and expectations. I fly Jets and for the past two months that I?ve owned the headset I've not looked back. Sound quality is great. It's very light and comfortable but constructed durable.

Excellent design

  • By Rob on Thursday, December 28, 2023
  • Pros: Light weight, comfortable.
  • Cons: I don’t think it’s possible to change the side the mic is on.
  • Review: I use this in the B737. Ear pierces cut out all the noise. ATC audio and Mic very clear and crisp.

Terrific headset. Very pleased

Ehhhhhh.

  • By A Customer from Algonquin IL USA on Monday, May 16, 2016
  • Review: Not as comfortable as I expected. The wire over the ears is still not comfortable after 2 months of solid use. Also, the fact that they are not convertible for easy use on the right side of the cockpit and that they don't fold flat isn't really too impressive. Not a bad headset, but not quite what I expected for $750.

Keeping headset

  • By James from Scottsdale AZ USA on Wednesday, May 24, 2017
  • Pros: Light and sound quality
  • Cons: Little slow to stow back in case
  • Review: Very light for wearing on all flight leg lengths. Easy to keep left ear open during pushback and engine starts with quick earplug install before taxi.

lightweight and comfortable

  • By Don from Boise ID USA on Tuesday, March 21, 2023
  • Pros: lightweight, comfortable
  • Cons: some noise gets through, the foam earpieces dont totally block out all ambient sound.
  • Review: Most comfortable headset I've ever used. Great for acrobatics. The earpieces block most, but not all, of the ambient sound out. IMO, the superior comfort outweighs the lack of noise cancellation. I prefer them to my regular headsets.

I like it, but way over-priced and case is too big.

  • By A Customer from Felton PA USA on Wednesday, February 21, 2018
  • Pros: Weight and comfort
  • Cons: Case size, price, no Bluetooth, warranty
  • Review: I went from a telex 850 to this.
    I like not having a headset rest on top of my head.
    I like that it's light.
    I don't like the lack of blue tooth.
    One reason I bought it, was that I wanted a smaller headset to carry around. Unfortunately the way it folds(or doesn't), makes for a large case.
    This product is a small metal frame, two wires with ear plugs, and a boom mike. It should not cost anywhere near what it costs. It probably costs about $20 to make. Add in a little value for being TSO'd and it should cost no more than $200. Also, at its price point is should have a lifetime warranty.

Clarity Aloft Pro Plus... good, but not great.

  • By FurloughedAgain from Grapevine TX USA on Friday, January 18, 2019
  • Pros: Lightweight, great sound quality, great noise reduction, TSO
  • Cons: Fragile wires to speakers, ear tips may dislodge in ear canal.
  • Review: This is my second TSO Clarity Aloft and I had hoped they would improve the Pro Plus, but they didn’t. The weak point of these headsets is the thin wire that goes from the headband to the earbud. Over time, even if you are careful not to twist when inserting, they will short out. This is in start contrast to competitor Quiet Technologies whose Halo headset uses a 50 cent sound tube with the speaker actually in the headband. Much more robust design. Furthermore, it is possible for the ear tips to unscrew and become lodged in the ear canal. The comply tips don’t have a stem or anything to make them easy to extract when this happens.

Over price headset

  • By Samuel from Toa Alta PR USA on Wednesday, January 7, 2015
  • Pros: Not heavy like regular headsets
  • Cons: Metal frame makes skin sour
  • Review: I bought this headset thinking it was going to be comfortable. Well I was wrong, the metal frame makes my head skin sore. The cables that go from the metal frame to the ears are very fragil and a lot of care has to be taken when storing them.
