theBoom noise-cancelling headsets and UmeCobra helmet microphones

The full theBoom / UmeVoice range — helmet microphones for helicopter crews, aviation headsets and professional noise-cancelling headsets — priced in euro, delivery time up to 14 business days.

Why theBoom through NVQ

US-made noise cancellation, bought the European way

theBoom's patented two-port microphone concentrates your voice on the front port and rejects background noise on the rear one — on the UmeCobra that is an average 10 dB improvement over the M-87 military standard, up to 30 dB in the speech band, tested by the US Air Force Research Laboratory at 105 dB cabin noise.

NVQ carries the complete range as an authorised dealer. You get euro pricing including VAT, no import paperwork or customs surprises, delivery within up to 14 business days and one European contact for compatibility questions, volume orders and crew programmes.

Aviation

Helmet microphones and headsets for helicopter crews

The UmeCobra is a retrofit boom microphone that fits standard flight helmets in under a minute — pick the version that matches the aircraft intercom, because the helmet shell doesn't decide it, the ICS does. Alongside it: the Aviator 777 PRO headset and the bone-conduction headset for flight-line and hoist work.

Common questions

Buying theBoom products through NVQ

Which UmeCobra version fits my flight helmet?+

The UmeCobra is a retrofit boom microphone, so the choice depends on the aircraft intercom rather than the helmet shell. Dynamic 5 Ω suits military-standard ICS (the M-87/M-101 replacement used on HGU-56/P and SPH-series helmets), 150 Ω dynamic and amplified electret suit civil helicopter systems with U-174 plugs — MSA Gallet LH250/LH350, Alpha Eagle and EVO helmets among them. Swivel mounts fit rotating booms, plug-in mounts fit fixed boom cords. If you are unsure, send us the helmet and aircraft type and we confirm before you order.

How long does delivery take?+

Delivery time is up to 14 business days. You pay at checkout and receive tracking when your order ships. Prices include VAT — EU customers pay no import duty or customs handling on top.
