WODASEN Aviation Headset Adapter for Airbus XLR 5 Pin to GA Dual Plugs

In this review the WODASEN Aviation Headset Adapter is judged as a handy, no-nonsense converter for pilots who switch between Airbus-style cockpits and general aviation aircraft. The bottom line: it is for pilots who already own an Airbus 5-pin XLR headset and want a single, reliable cable to plug into GA dual jacks without buying another headset. The reviewer found the adapter simple to use, durable in build, and effective at preserving clear audio when used within its intended impedance range.

Key Features

• 5-Pin XLR jack: Converts an Airbus 5-pin XLR headset to a dual GA plug connection so pilots can use one headset across different aircraft types.
• GA dual plugs: Provides both the 3/16 in mic plug (PJ-068) and 1/4 in speaker plug (PJ-055) to match common general aviation jacks.
• Plug-and-play operation: No setup or configuration is required, making it quick to switch headsets between aircraft during trips.
• Durable construction: Built from ABS and metal components to resist wear and keep the connection stable under repeated use.
• Clear signal transmission: High-quality connectors minimise interference so voice and audio remain intelligible when used with compatible equipment.

Who It's For

This adapter is aimed at private pilots, flight instructors, and ferry pilots who routinely move between Airbus-type cockpits with 5-pin XLR sockets and light aircraft that use GA dual plugs. It is ideal for someone who prefers the comfort or noise reduction of a single headset and wants to avoid carrying two sets of equipment.

Pilots who operate military or specialised low-impedance intercoms should look elsewhere, because this cable does not perform impedance conversion and can cause mismatches with military-grade systems. Also, if you need an inline adapter with additional features such as PTT routing or active electronics, this simple cable will not provide those functions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Enables use of an Airbus 5-pin XLR headset on GA aircraft without extra headsets.
• Includes both standard GA mic and speaker plugs for broad compatibility.
• Simple plug-and-play design that requires no setup.
• Solid ABS and metal construction for longevity and stable connections.

Cons

• Does not convert impedance, so it is unsuitable for matching military low-impedance gear.
• No additional features such as inline volume or PTT switching are provided.
