Inspired by the design specificationsrequested from actual and virtual pilots from the military and civilian worlds, the T-Flight U.S. Air Force Edition Headset is what you’d expect from such a collaboration: crystal-clear audio, minimal distortion and long-term cushioned comfort.
.
Featuring 50mm analytic drivers with stable frequency response curve, the T-Flight U.S. Air Force Edition Headset perfectly balances bass, mid-range and treble and remarkably optimizesdistortion control to less than 1% between brackets (SPL 116±3dBSPL at 1mW). The 1-inch thick, over-earmemory foam ear cushions effectively isolate outside distractions, while an integrated gel layer keepsyour head cool even after hours of play.For communicating with other squadron members or the tower, a high-performance, unidirectional microphone ensures seamless two-way communication.
