New microphone turns everyday headsets to aviation headsets

By General Aviation News Staff · March 15, 2024 ·

New from Sporty’s is the NFlight NOMAD, a microphone that attaches to consumer headsets to convert them into use on the flight deck.

The NOMAD microphone attaches to the outside of consumer grade ANR headsets, like the Bose QC25, QC35, and QC45 with 3M Dual Lock Circles.

The noise-canceling, electret microphone provides the audio output into your aircraft’s intercom system, while a 2.5mm plug, inserted into the headphones, provides the audio input for quality sound, Sporty’s officials explain.

The NFlight NOMAD features standard twin-plug (PJ-style) 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch aviation connectors. The cables measure approximately 78 inches in length, while the flexible boom microphone is approximately 8 inches.

Included accessories are a shirt clip and two extra 3M Dual Lock Circles.

The NOMAD Pro version also includes a stereo/mono switch, dual volume controls, and a 3.5mm aux input with cable that allows a wired input from a tablet or phone to receive audio alerts.

The NOMAD Pro with TSO’d microphone includes all the features of the NOMAD Pro plus a David Clark M7A microphone for professional pilots, who may be required to use an approved microphone, company officials noted.

The NFlight NOMAD Classic is available for $249.99, while the NOMAD Pro is available for $349.99.

The NFlight NOMAD Pro with TSO’d microphone is available for $449.99.
