Bose Proflight Series 2 Aviation Headset with Bluetooth Connectivity, Dual Plug Cable, Black

Spent 7 years with the A20’s, which were pretty solid performers. All of that time, my ride was a 737, so multiple cockpits / day … quick exit and set up. They stood up well, given the abuse. I did have to replace the entire cord set at year 6, due to a microphone issue (also swapping boom mike from one side to another to give IOE).New ride, 777 … quieter cockpit. I didn’t use the supplied ear inserts, opting for custom molds provided by a supplier that works with our company.Only had the opportunity to use the Pro-Flights on one trip so far, and even if I had 50 trips under my belt - I would say that we don’t wear these very long during the flight, only from pushback up to cruise - then prior to top of descent to the gate.Having said all that, what I like about the Pro Flights vs the A20’s is the reduced weight on my head. Along with reduced weight, there is no need to clamp the head either, since this utilizes an in-ear device.Audio clarity is typical Bose (awesome), and I find that I like the High setting for noise cancelling even though the 777 is very quiet compared to the 737.I also like that instead of using a screw driver to swap the boom mic (A20’s) from one side to another, the Pro Flight utilizes a simple one handed method to remove the mic set up, producing a much faster switch to the other side.Less weight, producing less pressure atop the head … along with no head clamping (inherent to A20/30 design), have produced a headset that feels as though it can be worn for long hours, with comfort.

I have been wearing David Clark One-X's for the last 7 years or so. The noise cancelation on the Pro Flight 2s is equal to or greater than my old David Clark One-X clamps. These Pro Flights are SO comfortable! I am usually averse to having things in my ears (like foam plugs) but these are like wearing airpods for the entire flight. I do not use the "tap" feature. I keep the noise cancelation in "high". I love being able to pop one of the ear buds out.I had my reservations on how effective these would be in a cockpit as loud as the 737, but was amazed how quiet and effective they are. Absolutely on par or better than the ANR of the clamp style DCs.I did find the audio on the headset accentuated / amplified some of the background noises over the intercom of the B737. I switched the "Audio" dip-switch under the battery from "norm" to "low" and I found the audio more comfortable and not as amplified. In this setting, the aircraft audio had a flattened more toned down sound to it, probably personal preference.Overall, I really like these, they are super comfortable for long days, and long flights. I hope to get many years of use out of them. I regret not getting them sooner.

I’ve used this headset for 2 months. I’ve used it in a Hawker, CJ2, Debonair and a vintage V-Tail Bonanza. In all aircraft the noise cancellation was excellent. I find the headset to be very comfortable and barely know I’m wearing it. I have the Bluetooth feature and use it regularly for clearance delivery at uncontrolled fields and closed towers. The noise canceling mic works so well that in the Debonair and the end of the runway ready to go I call for my IFR clearance. The controller read the clearance, I read it back and he stated “call when your ready to depart”. I stated that I am ready at runway 27. His statement was that “it’s awfully quiet” I stated that I was ready to go and he gave me my release for departure. I would recommend this headset to anyone not wanting to wear earmuffs! I have yet to replace the batteries it came with from the factory. Note that the Debonair and Bonanza have relatively quiet cabins for a single engine prop. I have not tried these in any other piston singles or twins.

Product is typical Bose, good quality and workmanship. The headset came with three different sized earbuds. I ended up using the smallest size, and constantly had to fiddle with them in my ear to maintain the seal and comfort. the batteries lasted as expected, and the Bluetooth tech worked great. The headset bracket was extremely light and comfortable, and almost no clamping that you would expect from an over the ear model. My only complaint with this headset is that it was troublesome to get comfortable in my ear, even after giving it a solid three weeks of attempts. I prefer my A20 over the ear to the in-ear model, but for someone that likes the in-ear style, this is a great choice.

10/10 especially for sensitivity to over ear headphones. No pressure when wearing. I’ve had mine for almost 2 months now and use it every day in a 2021 Piper Archer III PA28. Noise canceling is comparitive to the Bose A20 maybe a little weaker but I have gotten used to it. Crystal clear CTAF and Tower calls. Bluetooth mix feature is noticeably smoother than the A20. Only complaint is it feels fragile but if you take care of it you shouldn’t have any issues. The Variable ANC is a nice feature so you can put your headset on before everyone else but still hear (when on low) and switch to high ANC when you start up the aircraft. I say this because it does take slightly longer to situate the headset compared to the over ear style.***If you purchase this headset for General Aviation (GA) flying TURN OFF THE PASSIVE TAP FEATURE before use******If you are purchasing a headset for any type of Rotorwing flight GET THE A20***FOLLOW UP (2024)Still holding up. Good quality. Perfect for jets. No issues after 2 years of ownership.
