Rugged Air RA980 ANR Stereo Aviation Headset

The Rugged Air RA980 is a stereo aviation headset with dual GA plugs, active noise reduction (ANR) and Bluetooth connectivity. Its lightweight carbon-fibre earcups, leather ear seals and adjustable stainless-steel headband are paired with a full-flex rotating microphone boom that can be positioned on either side.

The headset uses two AA batteries for ANR operation. When ANR is unavailable, it continues to provide passive noise reduction. The control module provides battery indication, Bluetooth pairing and volume controls, plus selectable audio modes for intercom priority, mixed audio, or intercom-only operation.
