Audio specialist Sennheiser found a reliable partner in BMW Group DesignworksUSA together with whom it managed to bring their latest product to our attention in the form of the new S1 Digital general aviation headset which launched yesterday at AirVenture 2011 in Oshkosh.

Th S1 Digital allows the pilot o regulate the contact pressure of the ear cushions via a small sliding control on the headband. Another new feature is the glasses zone on the ear pads: the cushions are particularly soft around the area of the temple arms of sunglasses.

There are also two soft pads for the headband that avoid contact for the more sensitive central part of the head. The headband itself has an inner metal band made of spring steel that ensures a tailored fit on different head shapes and works with a lower contact pressure than many other headsets.

The special ear cup shape and the inclined axis of the headset further improve passive noise attenuation. A noticeable feature is that the ear cups are reminiscent of the sweep of a wing.

As for the headset’s control unit, the ergonomic control module with a contoured grip was redesigned for greater ease of use. Its streamlined interface with high-contrast icons on main controls and LED graphics make it ideally equipped for night flights.

Other highlights include separate volumes for each ear: NoiseGard active noise cancellation system on/off, mono/stereo operation, muting on/off and all Bluetooth transmission functions.

The Bluetooth-equipped phone or music player can simply be left in a pocket. The unit offers wireless connection to mobile phones and an audio source. It also has two AA batteries to power the electronics of the fully adaptive NoiseGard / digital noise cancellation system, which can also alternatively be powered by the on-board power network.
