Designed with more than three decades of Bose research and development, our aviation headsets help reduce cockpit noise without compromising critical radio communications. From active noise reduction (ANR) technology to lightweight designs built for long flights, Bose aviation headsets are trusted by pilots around the world.

Whether you prefer the over-ear comfort of the Bose A30 Aviation Headset or the lightweight design of the ProFlight Series 2 Aviation Headset, Bose offers professional-grade solutions designed for different flying environments and pilot preferences.

Find the Right Aviation Headset for Your Flying Style

Choosing the right aviation headset depends on the type of aircraft you fly, your cockpit environment and your personal comfort preferences.

Bose A30 Aviation Headset

The Bose A30 Aviation Headset is designed for pilots who want maximum comfort, exceptional noise reduction and all-day performance across a wide variety of aircraft.

Ideal for:

• Commercial airline pilots
• Corporate and business aviation pilots
• General aviation pilots
• Flight instructors
• Frequent cross-country pilots

Its over-ear design provides outstanding comfort during long flights while advanced Active Noise Reduction (ANR) minimises cockpit noise to reduce fatigue and improve communication clarity. With multiple user-selectable noise reduction modes, Bluetooth® connectivity and FAA/EASA TSO certification, the A30 delivers premium performance in demanding flight environments.

Whether you're flying IFR, managing a busy cockpit or spending several hours in the air, the A30 helps keep your attention where it belongs.

Bose ProFlight Series 2 Aviation Headset

For pilots flying quieter, pressurised aircraft, the Bose ProFlight Series 2 offers an incredibly lightweight alternative without sacrificing communication quality.

Ideal for:

• Airline pilots
• Corporate jet crews
• Regional airline pilots
• Pilots flying pressurised aircraft
• Professional crews seeking lightweight comfort

Its in-ear design significantly reduces headset weight while maintaining Bose Active Noise Reduction technology for comfortable, distraction-free communication throughout the flight. The ProFlight Series 2 is particularly well suited for pilots who spend multiple flight legs in the cockpit and prioritise minimising pressure and fatigue.

Active Noise Reduction Helps Reduce Pilot Fatigue

Cockpit noise can quickly become mentally exhausting, especially during longer flights. Bose aviation headsets feature advanced Active Noise Reduction (ANR) technology that continuously monitors surrounding low-frequency noise and generates an opposing sound wave to reduce unwanted engine and cockpit noise.

The result is a quieter flying experience that allows pilots to hear radio transmissions, crew communications and cockpit alerts more clearly while reducing listening fatigue.

Benefits of ANR include:

• Improved communication clarity
• Reduced cockpit noise
• Less fatigue during extended flights
• Better concentration throughout every phase of flight
• Enhanced long-term hearing protection

Whether you're flying for work or recreation, reducing unnecessary noise helps make every flight more comfortable.

Built for Long Flights

Professional pilots often spend hundreds of hours each year wearing a headset, making comfort nearly as important as audio performance.

Bose aviation headsets are engineered with lightweight materials, balanced designs and premium cushioning to reduce pressure during extended use.

Whether you're completing a quick regional flight or an all-day cross-country trip, Bose aviation headsets help maintain comfort from take-off until landing.

Reliable Communication in Every Cockpit

Clear communication is critical for maintaining situational awareness and safely managing every flight.

Bose aviation headsets deliver crisp voice reproduction that helps pilots clearly hear:

• Air traffic control communications
• Cockpit conversations
• Passenger announcements
• Navigation alerts
• Intercom communications

Many Bose aviation headsets also include Bluetooth® connectivity, allowing compatible devices such as electronic flight bags (EFBs), tablets, smartphones and navigation apps to integrate seamlessly into your workflow. Pilots can receive weather updates, listen to audio alerts or communicate through supported devices while maintaining primary radio communications.

FAA and EASA Certified for Professional Use

Bose aviation headsets are designed to meet the demanding standards expected by professional pilots.

The Bose A30 and ProFlight Series 2 Aviation Headsets are FAA and EASA TSO certified, giving pilots confidence that their equipment meets rigorous aviation performance requirements.

Whether you're flying commercially or privately, Bose aviation headsets are engineered for dependable performance in real-world flight operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ANR and PNR aviation headsets?

Passive Noise Reduction (PNR) uses physical materials such as ear cups, foam and seals to block outside noise. Active Noise Reduction (ANR) uses microphones and advanced electronics to detect low-frequency cockpit noise and generate an opposing sound wave that actively reduces it.

ANR headsets are ideal for pilots who fly frequently or spend long hours in the cockpit because they reduce fatigue and improve overall comfort. PNR headsets require no battery power and can serve as reliable backup options.

Is an ANR headset worth it?

For most pilots, yes. ANR significantly reduces engine and cockpit noise, making radio communications easier to understand while helping minimise fatigue during longer flights. Many professional and frequent general aviation pilots consider ANR one of the most valuable upgrades to their cockpit equipment.

What happens if the battery dies on an ANR headset?

If an ANR headset loses battery power during flight, it safely transitions to Passive Noise Reduction (PNR). Radio communication and intercom functionality continue to operate normally, although you'll notice an increase in background cockpit noise until battery power is restored.

Should I choose mono or stereo audio?

Most air traffic control communications are transmitted in mono, so either option works for standard radio communications. Stereo audio can provide additional benefits if your aircraft includes an advanced audio panel that supports stereo entertainment, music or enhanced audio separation.

Why does Bluetooth® matter on an aviation headset?

Bluetooth connectivity allows compatible Bose aviation headsets to connect with devices such as smartphones, tablets and electronic flight bags. Pilots can receive navigation alerts, weather information or phone calls when appropriate while maintaining access to essential cockpit communications.

Which Bose aviation headset is right for me?

The Bose A30 Aviation Headset is an excellent choice for pilots who want maximum comfort, premium Active Noise Reduction and versatility across many aircraft types. The ProFlight Series 2 Aviation Headset is best suited for professional pilots flying quieter, pressurised aircraft who prioritise an ultra-lightweight design for long duty days.

Fly with Greater Comfort and Confidence

Every flight depends on clear communication, situational awareness and staying focused from departure to arrival. Bose aviation headsets combine advanced Active Noise Reduction, premium comfort and trusted durability to help pilots perform at their best in the cockpit.
