Faro AudioLink: Bluetooth For All

Larry Anglisano
Verified
The Faro AudioLink, is a Bluetooth-equipped control module that runs on two AA batteries or via USB-C power. It's a good match for most any non-Bluetooth headset. That's a Pilot Avionics youth model in the lower photo - an otherwise good set that can benefit from Bluetooth

Not everyone has a fancy Bluetooth-equipped audio control panel, and believe it or not there are still a lot of pilots (and passengers) flying with passive headsets from an age where wireless connectivity was a dream. Enter the $159 Faro Stealth AudioLink.

Sporty’s (the exclusive distributor of the AudioLink) worked closely with headset maker Faro Avionics for an easy way to add Bluetooth connectivity to any aviation headset. We got our paws on one and prepared this field report.
