Clarity Aloft Earpieces with Comply Canal Tips - Aviation Headset Component

Part Number: 11-02923

Overview

This part comprises the earpiece assembly used in Clarity Aloft aviation headsets, designed to enhance both hearing protection and speech communication clarity. Each earpiece houses a miniature speaker (transducer) that reproduces speech audio from the aircraft's communication system. The earpiece pairs with replaceable Comply Canal Tips - compliant foam tips that channel sound from the transducer to the ear canal. This transducer and tip combination has undergone military testing and is used operationally by helicopter pilots, meeting rigorous military standards. The Comply Canal Tips use patented viscoelastic foam technology, the same found in premium hearing aids, providing a superior ear seal. These tips deliver hearing protection performance that exceeds active noise reduction (ANR) systems, achieving 35-45dB of noise attenuation specifically within speech frequencies (400-4,000 Hz), resulting in exceptional voice communication clarity. The foam tips conform to individual ear shapes for comfort, similar to standard foam earplugs. Full technical specifications on the viscoelastic passive noise reduction (VPNR) technology are documented in the accompanying Owners Guide. The headset also incorporates a high-fidelity Electret Condenser noise-canceling microphone, optimized for speech frequency performance in high-noise environments - the same microphone type trusted by stage performers and musicians for critical sound reproduction. The headband features a lightweight, low-profile design with a flexible boom arm, identical to units used by professional musicians and performers, providing balanced comfort through its streamlined construction.
