Pink headsets debut

By Janice Wood · October 18, 2009 ·

Powder Puff Pilot has introduced a line of pink aviation headsets.

HeadsetSue Hughes, owner of the company, which specializes in products targeted to women pilots, partnered with an aviation headset manufacturer for a line of FAA-approved headsets with earcups that are bubble-gum pink instead of the usual olive, gray, or black.

“I’m not so naive to think that a pink headset is all it takes to get women to embrace aviation,” explained Hughes, a flight instructor herself, “but the more we can accommodate the tastes and proclivities of women, the more welcome they’ll feel in the cockpit.”

The Powder Puff Pilot headsets, with a pink company logo emblazoned on one of its earcups, comes in a Passive Noise Reduction model and an Active Noise Reduction model, which uses battery power to further reduce unwanted sound.
