AE-56 Headset

When Everyday Use Demands a Better Headset.

The AE-56 combines the durability, comfort, and clear audio AVID is known for with a fixed microphone designed to eliminate one of the most vulnerable parts of a traditional headset.

Built on the trusted 50 Series platform, KidCom™ is housed directly in the earcup for consistent voice pickup without a bendable boom to adjust or damage.

With a comfortable adjustable fit and 3.5mm or USB-C connectivity, the AE-56 is made for reliable, everyday use.
