Customer photo review of Warranty: Headset

Roy K.Verified

PPG Smoke under new ownership doesn't mess around! I had a small issue with my headset and contacted Trevor Steel. He politely asked if he could take care of it in a week or two because he was swamped. (He had just taken over the business.) I said sure no problem. This was a warranty issue, so after I waited three weeks I contacted him and asked if it was a good time to start the warranty process. The next day he sent me a link that said go ahead and order this, it's free. Wait! 😳 What!? ...

A dream come true! I've always sought incredible communication, but this one surprised me in every way! Simply the best! Congratulations on the work and development of this product! Listening to music is amazing, flawless! I look forward to seeing the next versions, the PRO and the one with Mesh! Signed @dreams_ppg

Warranty: Headset

Russell P.Verified

Great attachment options with built-in velcro straps and nylon loop straps. I've got them attached directly to my Kangook Amaruk XD Ti frame, but you can even attach them to the harness shoulder straps or the cage. They feel high quality, I like them and the peace of mind they provide by adding another layer of safety.

I’m happy with it. There’s no one way to install it but the end straps were in a good spot to attach it securely on my Macfly and the Velcro straps also worked well and strengthen the attachment, even though the two end straps by themselves look strong enough to keep it on there even in a rough situation. The Velcro straps worked out well to keep it nice and stable on my frame. I had an extra cartridge so I test deployed one of the floats and it inflated perfectly well and firmed up nicely. It w...

The strobes are awesome! Super Bright! The function to turn the master off and they all turn off and stay connected is NICEE! Side note they don't come with mounts. So if you are like me and want to mount them to your cage don't forget to buy the mounts separately.

Installation was a breeze given the right tools. Rotax 503 produces a tremendous amount of smoke even when dialed down to lowest setting. Couldn’t be happier with this product and so far it’s everything as promised.

It doubles as a ground cam tripod when not in use as a Chase cam. Compatible with my Akaso cam. The chase cam was super easy to assemble in a minutes. PPG Smoke is a great company and Trevor was very helpful!

Tried on the chest pack and you can tell from the feel of the material and the zippers that it is a quality piece. It will be very handy for storing phone and other essentials on flight's. The add-ons are bonus's as well

Chest Pack

Jerry O.Verified

This worked amazing and was alot of fun. The built in battery is a nice touch with USB C charging, flow control is easy to use, installing was straight forward other then figuring out the location of where to install injector with having a egt sensor already in place. So far would recommend is a great unit and fun.

Customer video review of QHR Headset v5 Sample

Nikolas R.Verified

Been testing the QHR v5 headset for a few weeks and I’m very impressed with the noise cancellation and the overall audio experience. The headset is comfortable and I can hear music and listen to my apps (like gaggle) with ease. I can make phone calls and people can hear me even when flying at cruise speed with the motor running. The microphone seems to pick up a little bit of of the noise when I turn my head to the side but otherwise is pretty solid. The earpiece itself is a little bit more loos...

First time using the Chase Cam behind my Trike. Assembly was straight foward, setup to the glider simple. Used an older GOPRO Hero 7. Chase Cam launched easy, was very stable, got some great video. Will set the camera on a wider video view next time for a better result. Chase cam performed as expected.

I have literally beat the shit out of this pack and it’s still working great! If I was you, I would definitely buy everything that Trevor sells all the attachments and then you’ll look cool like me!

Customer video review of Float Recharge Kit

Brian K.Verified

Great to get this recharge kit, I like to fly with floatation all the time since I’m close to the Mississippi River. I left my motor in the carport and a heavy rain outside was enough to set off one of the floats (glad to see it worked as advertised) so time to replace both

This is the second ppgsmoke chase camera I’ve bought, this time as a birthday gift. It’s simple, reliable and robust. It’s never interfered with the flight characteristics of my wing. I’ve never had it tangled in my lines and it’s never impacted with my prop. Over all a good bit of kit!!

Customer photo review of Game-Changer Toggles

David H.Verified

Installed these on my hadron 3. Made a huge difference for me. like the feel (very comfortable). Being that they are shorter than the stock dudeck toggles, it increased my flair authority on landings, which i needed. Happy so far with the purchase.

I'm loving the new headset. If you have seen me on YouTube where I made my own headset, I always had cable issues and RF squeal in the microphone. BUT, with this new headset, there are no more cables except for the radio to the headset. The bluetooth is amazing, I can listen to phone music as well as take/make phone calls in flight which helps with instruction. The speakers are louder and clearer than my old ones. I haven't been able to record audio yet, but my friends say the microphone is plen...

The PPG Smoke chase cam seems to have just the right drag and has safely captured some pics of dynamic maneuvering. While flying I slung the Smoke chase cam into a boulder and my GoPro broke off and was lost. A testament to how well the PPG Smoke chase cam is made, it survived the impact and can still be used. I travel a lot and like how compact it breaks down for travel. I love mine!

Excellent visibility and solid build quality. The flash is strong without being distracting, and the battery life has been impressive. A must-have for safer flying! Thanks PPG Smoke! 🤙🏼🪂 -Brian P.

Picked up a set of these while at Salton Sea.. After 30+ hrs I couldn't be more pleased!!! Power and volume buttons are easily accessible, so no more fumbling around trying to find buttons like on my other headset.. Volume and clarity- Really pumped to be able to listen to music and take phone calls with crystal clear clarity!! Climbed up while on full power to 11k and jammed out to "TOOL" the whole way and never missed a beat... Phone calls- A few of the parties didn't even know that I was fly...

This strobe is a game-changer for anyone looking to stay FAR 103 compliant without the headache. Right out of the package, the build quality is evident, and the setup couldn't be simpler. It’s truly a "plug-and-play" solution—I had it powered up and ready to go in seconds. The brightness is impressive, providing excellent visibility that gives you real peace of mind while in the air. One Small Suggestion While the included mounting is functional, I’d love to see both rounded and flat adhesive ...

The PPG Smoke Headsets V5 are a game-changer. They are exceptionally comfortable, surpassing any other headset I've tried. The sound quality is absolutely amazing. It offers an immersive experience, especially when playing music. The sound quality is exceptionally well-defined. I really enjoy the noise cancellation. Furthermore, the call quality is unparalleled. I could hear whoever I was talking to perfectly, and they could hear me just as clearly. This made my phone conversations seamless. ...

Absolutely love the PPG Smoke chase cam! Very simple, easy to use and you can’t beat the price. The clip is a dual purpose safety fuse to protect the pilot in case of a snag, the line is spongy without being so springy that it bounces around, and above all it just produces great shots from a great point of view. One of the best “bang for your buck” purchases that you can get for your flying experience.

Colten W.

Love this chase cam! Super easy to assemble and balance. I've been flying with it for several years now, and I've had zero issues. You forget it's even attached to your wing. Gives an amazing perspective, and flies super smooth. I've tried multiple chase cams and this one has been the best by far, just make sure to kite the wing up before flying to ensure the line is long enough that it doesn't fly into your prop upon landing. Get one you won't regret it!

The deployed floats are an older version ( 2019 ) However, they are absolutely life AND equipment saving!!!! If you fly over the water, ever, you NEEED these! And Trevor is the most knowledgeable, most trusted name in the business. Anyyyyyything PPG, you’ll never go wrong with Trevor & his crew!

Amazing headset. I highly recommend adding the in ear headphones. Makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE! And they’re tough as hell as you can see in the picture.

I had an issue with my microphone on my PPG smoke headset. Contacted Trevor and he responded promptly. Had a new mic in the mail the next day.

I had high expectations for these lights and that was surpassed once I got the lights and mounted them!! I highly recommend!

I have used the PPG smoke headset for 1 year. It is amazing. After 1 year my mic wore out. I offered to pay for a new mic bc I know I wore it out over 50 flights (moving the mic around). But they said no worries and they happily sent me a new mic for free covered by the warranty. I use the radio connect cable when I fly out of my local airport. It allows me to hear other pilots in pattern and make radio calls when my engine is at climb power setting. I use it to listen to pandora and gaggle on...

Day 1 Update: So far, so good. The noise cancellation is performing exactly as expected. One standout feature I noticed right away is the headset's seamless pairing with my Icom IC-A16B. When it's connected to both my phone and the airband radio, the headset intelligently prioritizes active airband transmissions over other audio sources. This automatic priority switching is a major safety advantage in the in the air. I'll keep putting it through real-world use and report back with more details a...

I have owned the V2 and V3 headsets, and the V5 is a vast improvement. The first time I used the new headset, I was caught off guard while warming up my motor. For a brief moment, I thought I wasn’t getting full power when testing full throttle. As it turns out, my senses were deceiving me, the active noise canceling made it sound like the engine wasn’t revving completely. Gaggle, streaming music, and two-way radio were all very clear!

On time. Great communication from point of purchase, through delivery. Appreciate the attention to detail at every step of this process. Dual floats appear to be well made, with high quality materials. Well done Trevor!

The perfect PPG Headset! As someone who has to carefully conserve his hearing, I always wear double hearing protection that even the biggest drivers can't overpower. This has made it impossible to connect comms in the past, but the new MMCX headset solves all of those problems by wiring earbuds directly into the comm suite of your headset, and the audio comes in crisp and clear. The PPG Smoke V5 integrates bluetooth and radio comms seamlessly with a clean audio-out to your GoPro. It's finally th...

Ordered one for my GF who flies and she loves it. The quality is very nice and customer service with Trevor was excellent. Messaged with him a couple times with questions and he responded in a timely manor. I ordered a second one tonight for myself! Thanks Trevor and keep up the good work! Wish you all the best with your new business adventure! 👍🏻

This headset is a great addition to my helmet. The sounds quality is way cleaner that the headset that came standard on the Nvolo helmet. Additionally, the automatic noise cancelling is a great feature. I can use the headset at half volume and still achieve clear communications over the noise of the motor. Thanks Trevor.

Hi there. The ppgsmoke headset is finally available in EU and I pulled the trigger…and I must say it is really good! Speakers are good, insulation is even better than with the 3M-Peltor thanks to ANC! Unbelievably good is the noise cancellation of the microphone! I talked to my wife on the phone and she heard "very far away…in the background…some little engine sound"...WHILE I WAS IN FLIGHT!! The only thing: I think the PTT button apparently only works when the radio is connected by cable. (I ha...

V3 headset microphone has performed well thus far. Time will tell if this mic also fails eventually like my previous two but Ryan indicated it incorporates a manufacturing fix that should hopefully help.

Really digging the QHR V5. The new mic position, the chunky buttons for use with gloves, and the simplicity of use is what makes me choose this headset for my daily. Don’t even get me started on the amazing sound quality. Nothing bad to say about this version.
