Zulu Alpha,

The issue with the Clarity Aloft is that you have to remove the earpieces by pulling gently on the wires. After a while the wire breaks internally and the earpiece stops working. This happens even if you are very gentle.

The only solution then is to send them back for repair. I have broken 3 sets over 7-8 yrs. Two were replaced free under warrantee and one was charged for.

Apart from this, they are the best solution for a noisy aerobatic aircraft that I have come across.
I have never seen a Clarity Aloft set, but from the photos, it looks like the ear pieces are exactly the same as the CEP ones. CEP say that you mustn't pull the wire for the very reason you describe above. The newer mini CEPs are easier to get hold of to remove but agree that the ones on the Clarity Loft look difficult to remove without pulling the wire.
