That Good Song Will Finally Sound Good.

The days of poor audio quality and lack of headset features are gone. No more science projects to just listen to music while flying... Listen to your music, connect any radio, stream audio to a GoPro and do so with the best audio quality you'll ever hear from paramotor headsets. The new version isn't just an improvement, it's a huge leap forward in tech. These headsets are ready to rock 'N' roll right out of the box.

"This takes the cake for best headset I've ever experienced- and it's not even close." 

No More Science Projects...

Historically as paramotor pilots we had very limited choices on headsets. Either we got headsets for radio communications, which often sucked with noise cancellation or we had to drill, dremel, and mess with ear cups to install bluetooth systems. These previous problems were headaches, and there was really never a great solution. Those headaches are gone, and the solution is here.

The 6 Main Goals Of A Headset - All In One. Finally.

Headsets really need to achieve 6 main things:
1. Noise cancellation
2. Phenomenal audio quality
3. Bluetooth connection
4. Ham radio or aviation radio port
5. GoPro connection
6. And a battery life that doesn't suck

The new v5 Headset by PPG Smoke achieves all of these - in one headset. It's simple, tested, proven, and ready to go.

Previous Issues Are Reslolved

We won't dismiss or downplay the issues previous headset models had. They were launched prematurely, and we will openly admit that. The new version has resolved those issues. A stronger team has been built, fantastic tallent was brought in, and we took our time with the R&D. No more issues.

A New Standard in Noise Control, Communication, and Connectivity

Built on licensed QHR technology, Headset delivers noise management, intelligent voice handling, and seamless radio and Bluetooth connectivity for high-noise environments.

Designed for paramotor pilots, aviation operators, and radio-dependent workflows, this system balances aggressive noise reduction with real-time situational awareness.

Advanced Noise Control Architecture

Hybrid Noise Cancellation System

• 16dB of active noise cancellation tuned for low-frequency environments between 50 and 300 Hz

• 24dB passive noise cancellation

This combination is built to target and reduce engine, prop, and wind noise.

Voice Activity Detection (VAD)

Integrated Voice Activity Detection isolates speech and suppresses background noise even in the presence of wind, engines, or mechanical noise.

Environmental Noise Cancellation

Environmental Noise Cancellation reduces ambient interference without fully isolating you from your surroundings. Critical cues remain audible while unwanted noise is removed from outgoing and incoming audio paths.

Noise Dependent Volume Control

NDVC dynamically adjusts output levels based on surrounding noise conditions. Incoming radio traffic automatically takes priority, lowering music or call audio when needed. Always balanced. Always hands-free.

Radio and Bluetooth Connectivity

• Single 6-pin Hirose radio port for aviation and ham radio integration

• Bluetooth connectivity for phone calls, music, and navigation audio

Designed to work seamlessly with 490+ aviation radios, ham radios, and mobile devices.

Power and Endurance

A high-capacity 2200mAh internal battery supports extended flight and field use. Optimized for full-day operation without external power.

Comments From Trevor (new owner):

Hey friends this is Trevor, the new owner of PPG Smoke. I wanted to let you know that we are working hard to produce a few videos outlining these headsets in detail. Overall the new version is far improved and the little "issues" found with previous models have been resolved. More info releasing soon.
