Customers say
Customers find the headset lightweight and appreciate that it’s a definite improvement over previous models. However, the noise cancellation and build quality receive mixed feedback, with some saying it works fairly well while others find it marginal and flimsy. Moreover, the ear cups don’t swivel, and while some find it comfortable, others disagree. Additionally, the sound quality receives mixed reviews, with some noting the ambient noise is a bit noisier.

Great Update to the 750
Nice headset, nice improvements over the old 750 I’ve had for 20 years. And the noise cancelling is just enough in a larger jet. May not be if you are in a turbo prop. And for the price, not bad at all.It’s doesn’t do bluetooth, doesn’t have gain, doesn’t have multiple inputs. It just a well made, light, comfortable headset, that cancels just enough noise for me.

Failed in less than 6 months!
Horrible product – absolutely do not recommend! I’m a commercial 737 pilot who has flown with my trusty old Telex 750 for about 6 years when the wires finally chafed and failed. When looking for a replacement, I found the Telex Airman 8, which seemingly beefed up the wire areas that failed on my original purchase. My initial impressions of the Telex Airman 8 were positive and it seems that the Airman 8 made marginal improvements over the old 750 series. However after 6 short months of use, the entire headset quit working. No receive, no transmit… unless I jiggle my head in just the right way. There seems to be a shorted wire somewhere where the wire bundle inserts into the ear cup. And for the record, I always store my headset in its case and treat it with care.Pros: light weight, comfortable.Cons: noise reduction isn’t that impressive. Quality and durability did not meet my expectations as a commercial pilot. Telex customer service is non-existent.What’s more disappointing is Telex’s customer service. Their warranty refers you to a Bosch website that refers you to other websites that end up in an endless search for assistance.Bottom line: absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Ear Cups Do Not Swivel
After using the older Telex ANR8 for several years, I upgraded to the newer Telex Airman 8 ANR. Overall decent headset but with an odd design feature. Surprisingly, the ear cups on the Airman 8 ANR are in a fixed position and do not swivel. People have different shaped heads and ears with varied angles making rotating ear cups an essential design feature. The fixed ear cups makes it impossible to reduce ambient noise except for maybe on the person’s head that the research and development of the headset is molded after. It makes no sense to make a headset with electronic noise reduction if ambient noise is allowed to creep-in under the ear cups just because of the fit on the ears. My older Telex ANR8 is actually a better headset because the ear cups rotate freely, conforming to the fit on my head and ears. The rotating ear cups also allow for a more compact case which takes up less space in my flight kit than the more bulky case for the newer Airman 8 ANR. My initial thought was, “What were they thinking”? If you like headsets with ear cups in a fixed position, then this headset is for you. It has quality construction and appears durable, being not as fragile as previous models.

Not full noise cancellation
It is not noise canc. It is reduction… case is very bad. Headphones volume level is good.

Loud hum-will be returning
Used in B-717 for one 3 day trip. Replacement for 15+ yr old 850’s. Found these to be ok comfort-wise, but finicky to stay put on head. The ear cups are rather limited in rotational adjustment range, leaving me with a hot spot on the one ear I would slightly uncover to hear other pilot. Also, the whole headset would slip/rotate forward when looking down- as the mic swivel adjust is rather stiff, this slipping on the head had the effect of constantly moving the mic down away from my mouth. However, my biggest complaint is that I experienced a loud hum that was unbearable & fatiguing in 75% of the jets used in (swapped acft multiple times passing through hub). I had to take them off & use the 750’s provided by the company in the cockpit. This may just be a 717 impedance related issue, but a deal breaker for me, so they’re going back. That being said, in the few jets that the hum was not bad in, the noise cancelling was excellent.

Not for GA, flimsy
Good brand, reasonable price. Product seems flimsy, won’t stay on my head. Ear cups obviously not for use in a bug smasher – no passive noise cancelling. Returning.

Improvement over previous models
Expensive but you get what you pay for. They work great and a definite improvement over previous models.

As expected
After using a Telex 750, using this Telex 8 makes a Great difference. Works Great in the noisy 737 cockpit. ANR without adicional batiereis is the key to Buy it rather than others.

Incómodos. Los parlantes a diferencia de los Telex 750/850 no giran completamente como se supondría qué debería de ser, es más fácil usar uno solo y así medio te acomodas, pero pierde el chiste de que sean 2 parlantes. Incomodos despues de 30 minutos aprox, dure con ellos 1 semana continua de vuelos, el ultimo dia ni los saque y los devolví, el mismo dinero que me regresaron los re-invertí en unos David Clark Pro X2, están más caros pero valen mil veces la pena.
