Benefits
The Classic is still very contemporary. This is our first and most popular design for General Aviation. See why it has everything you need for a safe, productive, and most importantly fun flight.
Sound Clarity
Designed for accurate reproduction of sound, the microphone and speakers will make every communication clear and easily understood.
Comfort
This is a headset you can wear all day. The flexible microphone boom, stainless steel low profile headband, and speakers with their soft foam canal tips all result in a light form factor.
Hearing Protection
The noise reduction of the canal tips keeps your hearing safe from the harmful auditory environment of any aircraft. All Clarity Aloft Aviation Headsets have the same impressive performance that is reported in the full attenuation data below.
Every headset you will ever wear relies on Passive Attenuation to protect your hearing. Ours is the best. Blocking outside noise, especially in the speech frequencies, allows you to lower the amount of sound entering the ear and save your hearing for the long term.

Testimonials
I fly a T-6 Texan, one of the noisiest planes around. I highly recommend this headset to any open cockpit pilot. Read More

"I’m from Portugal and I fly a regional jet aircraft which has an extremely noisy cockpit. I ordered a Clarity Aloft and I was blown away by the amount of noise it blocks out, the quality of the audio and the comfort they provide." Read More

As a Bose user for many years, I was hesitant to try the Clarity Aloft headset, after all, “why fix it if it isn’t broke?” However, an engineer friend has been using the headset for years and touted its noise reduction capabilities. I thought I’d give it a try. On the first departure with the headset in my Decathlon... Read More

I currently work for an airline as First Officer and have been using the Clarity Aloft Headset for 4 years now. It is by far the BEST headset I have ever worn. I have owned both a David Clark and Bose Headset and neither compare to the Clarity Aloft Headset. Since I fly anywhere up to 6-7 hours a day I needed someth... Read More
Brandon Sterenchuk — Airline Pilot
I have owned my Clarity Aloft headset for 2 months now and have used it for about 150 hours and I can easily say that it is the best, most comfortable headset I have ever worn. I am an airline pilot and my headset spends many hours on my head so comfort is my top priority. Not only is it the most comfortable headset... Read More

Hands down the best product I have ever used for flying! I am just blown away with the clarity and simplicity of use. I can't imagine going back to a pair of traditional headsets! Thanks a million for making my job easier! Read More
Justin Sinclair — First Officer, US Airways Express Saab 340 Driver
I initially came across Clarity Aloft at Oshkosh 2004. When I saw the unit I was very suspicious that a headset so light and comfortable could provide the level of noise protection required for flying a VERY noisy 360 HP radial engine powered aircraft. I remember saying to the sales person that I would pay for the u... Read More

I was a UH-60L Black hawk Crewchief/Doorgunner and Loadmaster for the United States Army for 8 years. In that time I completed 3 Tours of Duty with no injury to my crew of myself. We were lucky enough to use the CEP system that the Clarity Aloft headset uses for their headset… So with nearly 4000 hp, a huge r... Read More

The Clarity Aloft Aviation Headset I purchased, is exceptional in every way, shape, and form! Indeed, the headset is unbelievably lightweight, yet it has also proven to be outstandingly clear in regards to both spoken and heard ATC communications. After years of flying with heavy and burdensome headsets that are dif... Read More
David Fuhrer — Private Pilot KBED
This headset is clear as crystal. And, no more smashed hair, no more hot and sweaty head and ears, no more worries about which earrings I can and can't wear while flying, and no more batteries for the clunky, bothersome noise reduction box. I love my Clarity Aloft headset and would highly recommend it to anyone look... Read More

I have the distinction of flying one of the fastest twin turbo-props in the world, the Mitsubishi MU-2. It also is probably the noisiest airplane flying today. So, when I purchased you Clarity Aloft headset designed for ‘in the ear’ protection (and no ear muffs), I was pretty skeptical that they would do... Read More
Brian Curpier — President, Clipper Aviation Services, Inc.
In just over 23 hours of flying in the past week in my Mooney, the Clarity Aloft headset was far more comfortable than any other headset, of any type, that I have used. The result of using this headset is a noticeably more peaceful cabin environment, as well as better radio performance at far lower volume. My husban... Read More

I will never again use another over-the-head headset, even if it is a Bose or a Lightspeed. This headset works great in our King Air B200 and I even wear it in the Citation V where we usually use a Telex. Great job in the R&D department. Read More

Every headset manufacturer promises to make your headset comfortable, lightweight, with excellent sound quality and noise attenuation. Heard that before? This one really delivers. After more than 20 hours of using the Clarity Aloft Headset in a variety of aircraft (Cessna 172, Beech Bonanza A36, Piper J3 and Super C... Read More

One short test of the Clarity Aloft headset at their booth showed me that there was an alternative to earmuff style headsets that actually increased my ability to communicate in a safe, efficient and COMFORTABLE way! I've amassed over 250 hours in motor gliders, Cessna and Piper singles using my Clarity Aloft headse... Read More
Ward Burhanna — Private Pilot, ASEL, Glider
It seems that many new headsets are never tested in severe conditions. My environment is a Sukhoi SU26 at full power producing 126dB, +10 to –8 G’s, limited headroom, high heat, and the need to prevent cords and battery boxes from breaking off and getting tangled during an air show. Clarity Aloft was the... Read More

I have compared the Clarity Aloft Aviation Headsets extensively to the most expensive headsets on the market. I can unequivocally state that Clarity Alofts are the best you can buy and the best value available to pilots today. Read More
Mark Wiggins —
Contrary to popular belief, jets are not always quiet, and the noise is a much higher frequency than propeller driven aircraft. The clarity of communications in this environment has been tremendous. I am extremely happy with my Clarity Aloft Headset.
Comfort is also important to me. The difference in comfort is amaz... Read More

I looked at the Clarity spec sheet – it really does a better job of reducing ambient sound in the speech frequencies. That’s exactly what I need for a clear transmission in talking with the Control Tower. Read More
Jerry Marshall — Professional pilot Aurora, CO
Until I got your headset in my hands, I not was sure a non-ear covered headset would work. I purchased one of your headsets and is by all standards he best headset I have ever used. My Cessna 310 is very loud inside and now the engine sound is down to a pleasant rumble and all the higher frequency noise is gone, it’... Read More

I am a motion picture sound mixer and recreational pilot. I wear headphones as part of my job for a minimum of 12 hours a day, and have for over 30 years. About the last thing I want to do when I go flying is put on another head-clamp, um, I mean headset. I set about to build my own in-ear aviation headset when I di... Read More
