Product Description

Best-selling GA headset trusted by 50,000+ pilots. Combines 24 dB passive noise reduction, ultra-soft gel ear seals, and a noise-canceling boom mic - all backed by a 5-year U.S. warranty.

0 1. Overview

The Kore Aviation KA-1 is the brand's flagship general-aviation headset, purpose-built to deliver professional-grade audio performance at an accessible price. Fitted with high-density acoustic foam ear cups and ultra-soft silicone gel ear seals, it achieves a passive Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24 dB - up to 50% higher than the industry standard - keeping cockpit noise at bay on every flight. Crystal-clear 50 mm neodymium speakers reproduce ATC transmissions with exceptional fidelity, while the electret noise-canceling microphone on a 360° adjustable flex boom ensures your transmissions are always intelligible, even in high-noise environments.

Independent dual-ear volume controls let each occupant set a personal listening level, and the tough molded Y-block mono/stereo switch means the headset works equally well in single-pilot trainers and multi-crew aircraft. A 3.5 mm AUX input enables direct connection to ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, or any MP3 source for real-time navigation alerts and in-flight audio. Gold-plated dual GA plugs resist corrosion and ensure a rock-solid intercom connection. The headset ships with a custom-fit carry bag and an extra mic muff, and is backed by Kore Aviation's industry-leading 5-year U.S. manufacturer's warranty.
