Bose A30 Aviation Headset with Bluetooth, Lightweight Comfortable Design, Adjustable ANR and Noise Cancelling [Dual Plug] – Black

I went from a classic David Clark to the A20. I fly a Twin Otter and the difference is absolutely amazing. In the winter, when it is cold, the props make an ungodly racket at takeoff power. With th David Clark, I had to shout into the mic in order to hear myself. With th A20, I can speak normally when it is that cold. With the Bluetooth, long days arent so bad anymore...sync my phone or iPad, and listen to music all day! I hesitated spending $1500 on a headset for a long time. Even tried the QC15 with the uFly micsetup from a friend, but found it couldnt keep up in the Twin. I finally bit the bullet and ordered th Bose...I would do it again in a heartbeat. Absolutely fantastic!

I have the Dave Clark set $350, no noise cancellation and this new A20 from Bose $1100. The active noise cancellation on the A20 works great. Silence. The Dave Clarks have respectable passive noise abatement with their excellent ear cups. However, the Dave Clarks have a better, more sensitive mic. I think the Dave Clark mic is just better than the Bose mic, which sounds weak. With the Bose unit I have to put the mic very close to my mouth to hear anything in the earcups. Maybe Im doing something wrong. I would appreciate some feedback. I read the manual. I am a little disappointed in the Bose unit, which costs three times the Dave Clark headset.

This only cost me my right kidney and my 5 year old daughter. But it was totally worth it :P

The product received had a sticker from BOSE that indicated the item was shipped from their Returns and Replacements department. This was then sold by Amazon as a new product. The pricing was consistent with a new product. This is not accurate or correct. It should have been indicated as a return / replacement item from the manufacturer.

best headset Ive owned

I got them after my previous headset failure. Omg even without ANR sound quality is great, with ANR I have strange feeling in my years, like I am under water, but it is not super uncomfortable.

Awesome headset. I use them in jets and GA planes, best headset out there.

If you have a big head like me, this may not be for you. After wearing for long periods of time the compression gives me a headache. Because if Covid I didn’t find this out in time for them to consider taking them back. They would not make an exception to the rule. So know I have a 1k headset that I’m not happy with. One size don’t fit all.

Sounds like a box fan is on in the other room when you wear these with a full throttle engine going. The most comfortable headset I have ever worn. I sincerely look forward to wearing these when I fly. You can’t buy your hearing. Well worth it.

I’m using Bose a20 since 2018 and this my 2nd pairs it’s the best in noise cancellation and sound quality.
