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 a 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, 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 paramotor pilots had 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 never really a great solution. Those headaches are gone, and the solution is here.

The 6 Main Goals Of A Headset - All In One:

Headsets really need to achieve 6 main things:
1. Noise cancellation
2. Phenomenal audio quality
3. Bluetooth connection to a cell phone & radio
4. Ham radio or aviation radio cable port
5. GoPro connection
6. And stellar a battery life 

The new v5 Headset by PPG Smoke achieves all of these, in one headset. 

Hybrid Noise Cancellation:

The new V% Headset by PPG Smoke features a unique and industry leading hybrid noise cancellation. Firstly is the standard protection from the earmuff itself, which offers 24dB of protection. The earmuff features a gel ear cup standard are is slightly larger in size to get a beter seal around the ear. The better the seal, the better the noise protection. The second form of noise cancellation is from the active noise cancellation (ANC) that can be toggled on and off. The ANC is tuned to cut out the noises paramotor pilots face most: wind, prop, engine, etc and is tuned for 50-300hz. The ANC offers and additional 16dB in noise cancellation bringing your total protection to 41db. The V5 headset can also come with a MMCX earbud and those can add an additional 35-40dB in protection depending on your choice of earbud.

• 16dB of active noise cancellation 
• 24dB passive noise cancellation
• 41dB total protection

Noise Quality:

Noise quality is very important for us paramotor pilots. Whether trying to hear important radio calls or listen to that glorious rock and roll, you need audio quality that can be heard loud and clear. The new V5 Headset speakers are without a doubt top notch. The volume can be adjusted up far beyond what's typically comfortable, the sound quality itself is fantastic, and the bass is actually noticeable. These headsets were built for pilot who want to truly hear what they're listening to.

Voice Activity Detection (VAD)

The new V5 Headset is also built with a voice activity detection (VAD) system, which is designed to cut out background noise when speaking into the microphone. Let's face it, flying can be loud and when you're talking to someone via the microphone it can be challenge to hear them in the air. The VAD system does a fantastic job at cutting out the background noise of the wind, motor, propeller, etc and hyper focusing on just the pilots voice. Even at full throttle the VAD system does a fantastic job at making the pilot easy to understand, loud and clear.

Noise Dependent Volume Control

NDVC dynamically adjusts your volume levels based on the situation at hand. Incoming radio traffic automatically takes priority, lowering music or call audio when needed. Meaning, you won't miss the important radio call from nearby traffic or your instructor on the ground because your music was too loud. They blend together nicely, and are built to work side by side, not against each other.

Radio and Bluetooth Connectivity

The PPG Smoke Headset is one of the few headset's that can have both bluetooth for phone calls, music, etc, and a radio cables for ham radios or aviation radios all at the same time. You're also able to connect a bluetooth radio and you're cell phone via bluetooth. Now you can listen to your music while also having a radio connected for communication with other pilots.

Designed to work with 490+ aviation radios & ham radios. 

Battery Life:

The PPG Smoke V5 Headset is built with a 2200mAh internal battery that's optimized for full day use without needing to charge. Estimated life span while listing to music or using the radio is around 18 hours. 

• 18 hour battery life while listing to music
• 2200mAh internal battery
• 2-4 hour charge time (depends on cord)

Compatibility

• Aviation radio compatible

Previous Issues Are Resolved:

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 talent was brought in, and we took our time with the R&D.

V5 Headset Compared To Others:

MMCX Earbud's - Now Available:

Headset v5 are now available with a true plug and play MMCX (earbud) system. Meaning, you can now plug in a earbud directly into the headset instead of having to rip the unit apart and solder earbuds in like previous models. This gives you double hearing protection and the ability to customize your listening experience as you'd like. Earbuds are not included with the headset. You can still use the standard speaker if you choose not to install earbuds. The MMCX version has both capabilities.

Radio Cable - PLEASE read:

Radio cables have been a very big challenge and we want to be transparent about them to our customers. Every radio brand has different cables, and within their radio lineup they even have several cable variations. Please let us know exactly which radio you have when ordering a radio cable so we can get you the correct one. If you get a slightly wrong cable, certain things about it may not work. AKA, you may hear, but can't transmit, etc. If you get the wrong cable or have issues, let us know ASAP and we will get you the correct one. Thank you -Trevor
