Not quite. Like you, I have a friend who flies quite regularly with the Tango’s. I asked him about them, looked at them and (briefly) considered a pair myself -but went with the Zulu 3.

Far from going NORDO, If the battery runs flat, there is a cable on-board the headset that connects to the control box, allowing full (if passive only) functionality. It’d be quite odd for a headset manufacturer to design/supply a device that doesn’t have a fail-safe option, don’t you think?
