Description

The Bose A30 Aviation Headset is best utilized where noise is pervasive, comfort is required and communication is critical. The Bose A30 is Bose’s highest-performing, full-featured around-ear active noise cancelling aviation headset to date. With 20% less clamping force than the Bose A20 and redistributed weight for superior on-head stability, the comfort of the A30 rises to the top among over-the-ear form factors. The Bose A30 Aviation Headset with Bluetooth further improves upon the comfort and functionality of the Bose A20 with a new acoustic design and a fully digital active noise reduction (ANR) system. As the first-ever around-ear aviation headset with three modes of user selectable noise cancellation, the Bose A30 enables pilots to control the noise they hear in the cockpit. Plus, the Bose A30’s optional Bluetooth interface and tap control for talk-through communication offer versatility for pilots across all aircraft. This pilot headset also features a toolless, side swappable boom mic and down cable, and its improved carry case has internal zippered storage and padded sides for extra protection.

  • Great headset.
Style: A20 Pattern: Bluetooth Set: Dual Plug
My other ANR headset (David Clark Pro-X) broke on one side and during the repair time, I decided to give a try to other headsets and tried several brands including LightSpeed, Sennheiser, and Bose. I came to a conclusion to myself that Bose A20 is the best one hands down of those 3 brands. I bought a used old Sennheiser HMEC 25 series from eBay but for some reason, when I turned on the ANR function, it gave me a loud hissing noise and could not hear my coworker nor ATC clearly. Maybe it might have been broken but on Mar, 2016, they officially announced that they are pulling out of aviation headset business except for Air Traffic Control headset, so I crossed off the German brand from my list. So I bought LightSpeed Zulu PFX for the next try and it worked relatively nice but still had some flaws. Some banging noise on takeoff or landing roll is the most scariest thing from my hearing loss perspective. Plus surprising enough, none of LightSpeed headsets are TSO approved, thus as a Part.121 pilot, it was easy enough to make a decision to return a product during 30-day trial period. Then, I decided to try Bose A20. I should have tried this one first before anything else. Communications are clear and crisp and it does not squeeze my head but still stays on my head steady. Of course I can hear myself loud and clear. The carrying case is compact enough so I can put them in my flight case. The newest version of the A20 has a music features so I can enjoy the streamlines of music as a big bonus if you have a Bluetooth in there. (I believe the old version does not have streamline audio functions in there but the newest one does have it so it came as a surprise, too). When.I make a phone call to a dispatch, I use the Bluetooth with A20. This is far better than using iPhone itself. Overall, it has been pretty great, I probably will be using this for my primary headset even after I received back my David Clark from repair. This is the best headset hands down from my perspective. It is worth every penny and highly recommended. ... show more

  • Excellent Aviator Headset
Style: A20 Pattern: Bluetooth Set: Dual Plug
Flying a plane is a single engine prop plane is a much better experience using the A20 headset. The active noise cancellation provides superior noise reduction, making communicating with passengers or towers much more enjoyable than with other aviator headsets. Plus, the headset is very comfortable to wear for even a few hours. ... show more

  • One of the best aviation headsets
Style: A20 Pattern: Bluetooth Set: Dual Plug
It was time to replace my 20+ year old David Clark's, and I was torn between going with the DC ONE X or the Bose A20. I've been a loyal DC customer for a long time, and their products never let me down, plus the DC's are roughly 25% less expensive. But I've also flown with Bose, and they've always impressed me with the amazing Bose noise suppression. In the end, since I needed a pair of headsets, I ended up buying one of each - and so far, I have no regrets about either purchase. If you're in this position too, I thought I'd offer a comparison of these two terrific products...to me, there's no clear hands down winner here - each headset is good at different things. Indeed, both are amazing in their own right, and the good news is that this means you can't go wrong with either one, especially if you're like me and are upgrading from older technology. In terms of overall construction quality, I'd give a slight edge to DC. Both are very good and should hold up a long time, but the Bose feel like high-end consumer products, while the DC's feel "professional". Although the Bose are slightly lighter, the DC's are quite a bit more compact with a smaller control pod. The Bose case is larger, but more protective. Both products pair easily with Bluetooth phones/tablets, and I've had no connectivity issues with my iPhone or iPad. I don't like that both products make it difficult to access the optional features like auto-off and stereo/mono. Granted these tend to be "set and forget" options, but in both products, you need to pop open the battery compartment and remove the batteries to change these settings. Speaking of batteries, I use lithium batteries in my headsets, and both seem to provide better battery life than you might think - at least 50 hours. In terms of comfort, there's no clear winner. To me, the DC's feel smaller but less secure on my head - in turbulence and with thicker sunglasses on, they sometimes slide around on my head, no matter how I adjust them. The Bose have larger ear cups that tend to feel more secure, although they also tend to make me feel a little sweaty in warm weather. In smooth air, the DC's are more comfortable to me, but I don't like the sense that they might shift on my head if I move too quickly. As for overall sound quality, both are good, but to my ears, the DC's are slightly clearer with voice communications. I think the better noise suppression in the Bose does interfere slightly with audio legibility, and sometimes I find myself struggling with ATC communications that seem to come through more clearly on the DC. I find the microphones to be a tie - I've never had less than a "loud and clear" response on any com check, and they work equally well with my phone or with the airplane. Of course, the reason you spend big bucks on a headset like this is for the noise suppression, and here is where the Bose headsets excel. Although the DC's are quite good, the Bose are simply better. Sometimes I'll switch from one or the other in flight, and the difference is immediately obvious. On the other hand, if you didn't have them side by side, you'd probably find either one to be more than good enough - but if you fly in a really loud environment and want the best possible noise suppression, then the Bose is the winner in this regard. I'm happy to say that both are made in the USA, and both companies have good customer service. DC especially has really impressed me over the years...I once had a ten year old headset repaired (I crushed the cord), and they came back with new ear seals, headband pads and so on - all at zero charge to me. Bottom line is that I'm happy with the Bose A20's and if you're looking for the best aviation headset that will have maximum noise suppression in a noisy cockpit, then you can't go wrong with the Bose - although in my opinion, they aren't the only game in town. ... show more
