The Black Diamond Radio Bearcat Aviation Headset is the culmination of our president David Eames' obsession with flight. After using other brands and being dissatisfied it became a mission to find a headset that would provide both functionality and long-lasting comfort. His high-priced brand-name headset was just too heavy, and for the price he felt it should be far more comfortable. Enter the Black Diamond Radio Aviation Bearcat headset with Bluetooth capability.
The Bearcat is conducive to the three parameters of a good headset: comfort, functionality, and accessibility. Point one, when Dave knows he's going to be in the cockpit for extended periods he won't accept anything less than a Bearcat aviation headset because the provided comfort is unbeatable. It can be worn for hours without making the pilot feel bogged down, especially because of it's carbon fiber housing. Point two, excellent and intuitive functionality. Deep cups that seal your ears in properly, active noise reduction, adjustable height, an incredibly durable boom mic that flexes easily but is very difficult to break, thick, durable cabling with an easy to understand controller, and the same crystal clear, intelligible audio that our two-way radio earpieces have provided for over 20 years set this rugged aviation headset apart from the big guys at a price that they can't match. And finally, the third point that launches this unit to maximum altitude: accessibility. The control unit for the Bearcat contains an AUX jack, making it incredibly convenient to plug in a music player or cell phone so you can relax during flight and never miss a communication. Sick of wires? Good. We are, too. That's why Bluetooth is one of the most important components of this powerhouse headset. Connect your phone or music player without adding more wires to the mix. Power is no problem, either. The unit takes 2 AA batteries to operate it's impressive features, but who needs to be bothered to keep replacing batteries? Plug a modern USB-C cable into the side of the controller and feed it juice from a power bank, a laptop, or any other USB port with power delivery.
Why pay a high price for inferior comfort and fewer features? The Bearcat is the solution you've been looking for. Black Diamond Radio Aviation headsets have landed, strap in and prepare for take-off!
