The active noise-cancelling technology is well worth it, especially if you fly often. I just picked mine up at Oshkosh last weekend and have flown with it every day for the past week.įor the past 6 years, I have been flying with my Sennheiser HMEC 400 electronic noise-cancelling headset. Based on the previous Bose Aviation X, Bose took a great headset and made it even better.


I am just starting to fly airplanes but I expect it to last long into my career.Have you been considering a new headset? The new Bose A20 Aviation Headset is top-notch quality with several excellent features. All in all this is a great headset and you can’t really go wrong with it.

Regarding the software support side of things It would be great if Bose offered support for the A30 in their music app, just as a way of tuning the EQ or perhaps making software updates. It’s fixed now, but it’s a shame that if sometime I want to really use it for real, I won’t be able to. This problem was common and frequent enough that I had to disable the feature all together on the control module. That said I have had an issue regarding the tap control feature, I’m not sure it’s just my model and perhaps this is an isolated issue, but when I’m flying sometimes the incorporated mics open up and let in sound, just as if I had activated the feature, but I haven’t. Comfort it’s a 10/10 as well, there are no pressure points and on the aircraft that I fly (PA-28) most of the engine noise is blocked passively and when the ANC it’s activated it’s very quiet (as quiet as you can safely get). The EQ of these headsets are truly second to none. I really have no complain about the sound quality both when it comes to listening to ATC or when listening to my tunes. Maybe the best headset of all time This is my first ever Bose aviation headset and my second aviation headset pair. *Bose adapters are available to convert a 6-pin connector to either a dual G/A plug or a U-174 for additional connection flexibility. When disconnected, the flexible power feature allows pilots to switch seamlessly between aircraft and battery power.* Two AA alkaline batteries can also be used to enhance flexibility. (LEMO) 6-pin connector: With this option, the headset is connected to the aircraft via a 6-pin connector and is powered directly from the aircraft.U-174: The U-174 is a single-plug configuration commonly used in both military aircraft and several helicopter models.When disconnected, the flexible power feature allows pilots to switch seamlessly between aircraft and battery power. XLR 5-pin: This configuration, often called the Airbus plug, is a mono connection that’s powered by the aircraft or batteries, depending on the aircraft’s capabilities.This version is user-configured for stereo or mono audio and is commonly used across all aircraft types. Dual plug (PJ 068 and ¼ inch stereo): With the dual plug, two AA alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 45 hours of operation while flying.

The most common connection configurations are: The most popular aircraft connection option is dual G/A, but flexible power versions with auto-on capabilities are also available in 6-pin and 5-pin XLR configurations. The Bose A30 comes in many variations, and customers can choose different configurations based on connector, cable, microphone, and module (Bluetooth or non-Bluetooth).
