Ear Tip Test Kit

Experience Before You Buy

This kit will allow you to test the comfort and noise reduction of the AXIS (when used with Comply™ ear tips) before making a full purchase.

The noise reduction is representative of the full AXIS headset, which uses the same foam ear plugs and attachment couplers. This is an easy way for you to simulate the AXIS experience in your specific aircraft.

How it Works

Attach a pair of ear tips to plastic couplers on the ends of the cord. These are the same couplers used to attach the ear tips to the AXIS headset. Then you can easily insert and remove the ear tips, try different sizes, and test the noise reduction in-flight.

Without the couplers/cord provided in this kit, it would be difficult or impossible to properly insert and remove the ear tips.

What’s Included

• One pair of standard-size couplers connected by a flexible band. These are the same couplers that are used on the full AXIS headset to attach your preferred Comply™ ear tips to the acoustic tubes that transmit the sound.
• Three pairs of Comply™ tips (small, medium, and large)

If you happen to already have custom ear molds, you can also attach them to the couplers for testing. Please note that while there are other AXIS-compatible ear tips such as 3M™ foam ear tips, Skull Screws™, or Westone™ ear tips, these are not included in the kit.

Other Uses

Even if you decide to not purchase an AXIS, you might consider continuing to use the kit as follows.

• If you have passengers who need noise reduction, but don’t need to communicate, this is a comfortable, ultra-compact “spare headset” solution
• Airline pilots may use the tips during pre-flight walkaround inspections, as the cord allows the ear tips to be conveniently worn around the neck while not in use. If you constantly find yourself needing new packs of earplugs after your walkarounds, this is a good solution.
• Airline pilots may also find this to be a convenient way to reduce ambient noise while jumpseating, deadheading, and commuting, without having to use a full headset
