Sennheiser launch the HME 100-SE-2 special edition headset for private pilots
The HME 100 pilot´s headset from Sennheiser is now available as a special edition for private pilots. The HME 100-SE-2 is an elegant silver and black design, and will be produced in an exclusive limited edition of just 2000. 
Benefiting from an outstanding passive noise attenuation, the HME 100-SE-2 is ideally suited for pilots of propeller planes. The ear protector cups completely enclose the ears and, like the headband, are softly padded for added comfort on long flights. As an exclusive feature, this special limited edition allows pilots to personalise their headset by adding their name tag to the headband.
The passive headset attenuates noise by up to 40dB, and the advanced transducer design ensures excellent speech intelligibility. Pilots can adjust the volume quickly and easily at the headset using the integrated volume control. The boom microphone can be worn on either side and is noise-compensated to ensure optimum speech transmission. The HME 100-SE-2 is connected by a 6.3 mm jack plug (headphones) and a 5.25 mm jack plug (PJ-068, microphone).
The special edition HME 100-SE-2 will officially celebrate its debut at the International Aerospace Exhibition (ILA) in Berlin from 16th ? 21st May 2006, but will be available from the end of April. The headset carries a full 5 year guarantee.
