TELEX Airman 750 Aviation Headset

Circa Mid 1980's to Early 2000's

Use Case

Specifically designed for long-term, fatigue-free use in relatively low-noise commercial cockpits, unlike heavier models intended for high-noise general aviation.

• Primary Users: Standard equipment on over 70% of commercial airframes globally, including Boeing and Airbus aircraft, where clear, reliable voice communication is essential.

• Key Features: It features open-air style earphones for comfort, a flexible, reversible boom arm for the amplified noise-canceling electret microphone, and different plug configurations (dual general aviation (GA) plugs or a single Airbus XLR plug) depending on the aircraft type.

• Operation: The headset relies on the aircraft's internal system for power and communication (it does not have its own battery), sometimes requiring an optional push-to-talk (PTT) switch if the aircraft is not already equipped with one.

Date Made

The Airman 750 has been a staple in aviation for decades.

• Introduction: It was originally introduced in the mid-1980s, with brochures and technical data sheets dating back to at least 1984.

• Longevity: The design has seen minor updates over the years, such as an improved flexible boom for durability, and remains a current, popular product (as of 2025).
