Switch the AULA A500's ANC on for engine drone and plug its included audio cable into the seat screen's 3.5mm jack. Cabin noise is low and steady, the kind of sound its 50Hz to 2kHz ANC handles best, and Bluetooth 5.4 covers a phone. Evetech carries the A500.
Aircraft cabins are loud in a very particular way: hours of low, even engine drone that wears you down without you quite noticing. That is exactly the kind of sound noise cancelling was built for. The AULA A500 brings hybrid ANC and a wired option in the box, which makes it a practical noise cancelling headset for flights, whether you are watching the seat screen or your own downloads.
Switch the AULA A500's ANC on for engine drone, and plug the included audio cable into the seat screen's 3.5mm jack to watch in-flight entertainment. Cabin noise is low and steady, the kind of sound its 50Hz to 2kHz ANC handles best, rated by AULA at up to 38dB of reduction. Bluetooth 5.4 covers your phone for your own films and music. At Evetech the A500 is priced at R639.
Active noise cancelling works best on predictable, continuous sound. Jet engines and air systems produce a steady rumble that sits largely in the low frequencies, well within the A500's 50Hz to 2kHz ANC band. That is the sound the headset can cancel most effectively.
The effect is more than comfort. With the drone reduced, you do not need to turn your audio up as far to hear it clearly, which is kinder to your ears on a long flight.
The A500 comes with an audio cable that plugs into a 3.5mm jack, the standard headphone socket on many seat-back screens. Plug one end into the headset and the other into the armrest or screen socket.
Some older aircraft use a two-pin socket instead. That needs a separate adapter, which is not listed among the A500's box contents, so check your airline's setup or carry one if you fly often.
For downloaded films and music, pair your phone over Bluetooth 5.4. The link is rated for about 10m, which is more than enough in a seat. Many airlines have their own rules on when wireless devices may be used during a flight, so follow the crew's instructions.
The A500's 1000mAh cell gives around 60 hours with cancelling switched on, and about 100 hours with ANC off, according to AULA. Even a long-haul trip uses only part of a charge, but topping it up the night before means you never have to think about it. A full charge over USB-C takes about 3 hours.
When the trolley comes round or an announcement starts, switch to transparency mode with the ANC key, and outside sound passes through the ear cups. You can hear the crew without lifting the headset off.
The box holds the headset, a USB receiver, a USB charging cable, an audio cable and the user manual. For travel, the audio cable and charging cable are the two to pack. The receiver can stay at home with your PC.
