Micro Avionics headset review

GA - ANR 202 headset
Purchased at Popham Micro fair in May 2026.
I was looking for ANR headset for myself which is rugged enough and with a long lasting performance on the battery powered ANR system.

Over the past 15 years of nearly daily use in my flight training work, I have tried out various ANR headsets, some with 4 digit price tag and some ANR headsets with “inserted” in ear speakers. With each advancing year and flying various models of microlight and multi-engine aircraft I am very aware of the importance of protecting my hearing so Mrs Boss can boss me about.

I have now used the Micro Avionics ANR headset and find that it is by far the most effective safety item to protect my hearing and help suitable communication with my student in the cockpit and ATC and other aircraft.

The large and thick gel filled ear seals cut out all of the wind noise and engine noise.
The large foam pop filter on the microphone greatly reduces the background noise.
The Automatic Noise Reduction system further reduces noise.
All the 3 above mentioned systems combine to make extremely well engineered hearing protection and vastly superior communication through the aircraft radio and intercom system.

I have now used my Micro Avionics ANR headset for over 250 hours flight time and can vouch that the battery powered ANR system uses 2 AA cells which last more than 50 hours of flight time. This is well in excess of the other branded expensive systems. When the battery runs out, the headset remains effectively quiet with its passive noise reduction.

The control unit for the ANR is robust with easy to use individual volume control roller dials marked with white painted scale. (The white paint marks may eventually fade with use )

The control unit contains the 2 AA cells with easy to slide and open lid. The cables connecting the GA type twin jacks (for headset and microphone) to the control unit and through to the earpieces are thick and strong enough to withstand daily use in the school aircraft.

There is Bluetooth to connect to mobile phone which I rarely use in flight due to the training mission, but appreciate the usefulness of this capability.
There is an input / output socket for a 3mm jack which can be used to connect a “voice recorder” or a gopro camera which I sometimes use in flight for debriefing my students.

When the headset is put on correctly with the simple clamp system they are quite comfortable for several hours of continuous flight.

Some of my students have complained about the heavy clamping force on their head; whilst I am used to wearing headsets in flight for more than 45 years so I hardly notice it.

I am not sure if Micro Avionics have a user manual for this GA - 202 ANR headset, which will be a nice to have item.

My overall impression is this Micro Avionics ANR headset serves my flight instructor type daily use which requires a rugged, robust, reliable and British product with very good support and service from the manufacturer who is fully cognisant of the microlight industry.
Highly recommended for its performance and extremely good value for the cost.

Arrived on time and was what was ordered so all good.

This is just what I needed for my air band comms. The setup was straightforward and the SWR meter showed no tuning needed. I could not be happier with it.

Excellent service

Works as expected.

It is a straight out lead, not a 90Deg, which I didn't expect. Other than that minor detail, it fits and functions properly.

Great service as usual

Great service as usual

fast delivery works great thanx

Works great. Bought a new to me Flexwing recently which had a Microavionics Interface. My integrated Helmets are Flycom so I bought a headset adapter and it works perfectly. My Flycom Helmets work with the Microavionics setup thanks to this adaptor. Thank you.

Worth it for peace of mind

Thanks Micro Avionics, great service as has become the norm. Needed a new visor in a bit of a rush, ordered online, it was dispatched the same day and I received it already drilled and complete with new little screws just so I could reuse my old air damn. Much appreciated.

The Wouxun KG-UV86 is the Best & POWEFUL RADIO.
Microavionics UK have the Best COSTUMER SERVICE.
NICE TO DEAL AGAIN.

EXCELLENT & POWEFUL RADIOS

AND GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE ALSO!!!

Looks very good, comfortable to wear, headphones provide clear sound and eliminate background noise.
