Bose A30 Headset
The Bose A30 Aviation Headset is ideal for environments where noise is prevalent, comfort is essential, and clear communication is crucial. It offers the best combination of comfort, audio clarity, and active noise cancellation available on the market.This is the Bluetooth version, featuring twin plugs designed for fixed-wing aircraft, and it comes with a Bose headset bag.
As the most comfortable, fully-featured around-ear aviation headset Bose has ever created, the A30 is also the first to offer three modes of user-selectable active noise cancellation. Each aspect of the A30 reflects decades of Bose research and development, engineered to excel in high-intensity flight environments. Additionally, its lightweight and comfortable design is FAA TSO and EASA E/TSO-C139a certified, proving its durability in demanding conditions.
Higher Performance Where It Matters
Comfort.Bose is renowned for producing the most comfortable aviation headsets, and the A30 sets a new benchmark. With 20% less clamping force than the A20, you’ll barely notice you’re wearing it. A new aluminium alloy headband and a redesigned centre torsion spring distribute weight more evenly across your head, while a new headband pad adds extra cushioning. Dedicated left and right ear-cups are shaped to fit your ears naturally, making it a headset you can comfortably wear all day.
Quiet.
The A30 features a fully digital ANR (Active Noise Reduction) system that provides comprehensive attenuation across various noise environments, from noisy warbirds to quieter jets. Enhanced direct wind noise rejection ensures better ANR performance, even when the vent is blowing on a hot summer day. Firmware upgrades are available to incorporate new technologies. Despite these advanced features, Bose’s renowned battery life remains unchanged, offering at least 45 hours of use, or 25 hours with Bluetooth for external audio.
Clarity.
Clear communication is the primary function of an aviation headset, and the Bose A30 excels in this area. The noise-cancelling microphone eliminates background noise, and the fully flexible boom allows for precise microphone positioning. Active equalisation improves the intelligibility of intercom conversations and air traffic control instructions, ensuring you never miss an important call. Optional Bluetooth connectivity allows you to receive audio alerts from your preferred electronic flight bag app, make calls on the ground, or listen to music in-flight. As expected from Bose, the sound quality is exceptional.
Durability.
Although the A30 weighs less than 15 ounces, it is built to withstand rigorous use. It meets the stringent FAA TSO and EASA E/TSO-C139a certification standards, having passed 145 tests, including drops onto concrete and exposure to extreme humidity. The redesigned cable is significantly thinner and lighter but constructed with copper strands and a Kevlar core to resist kinks and tangles. With no exposed wires on the headband, the A30 is covered by a full 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Setting the Bar for Long-Term Comfort
The A30’s lightweight design, with its low clamping force, provides unmatched comfort on long flights. It maintains the renowned noise cancellation of the Bose A20 while offering a lower overall weight and 20% reduced clamping force.- Enhanced around-ear comfort and stability are achieved through the use of high-quality materials, low clamping force, and dedicated left and right ear cups.
- Three modes of user-selectable active noise cancellation for a tailored noise reduction experience across different scenarios and aircraft.
- Optimised audio for enhanced communication, with or without an intercom or hot mic system.
- Durable and robust design built to endure daily use in extreme environmental conditions.
- Lightweight construction at just 14.2 ounces (404 grams).
- Electret or dynamic noise-cancelling microphone options for clear transmissions, depending on the aircraft ICS type.
- Side-swappable boom microphone and down cable—no tools required.
- Tap control for talk-through communication.
- Bluetooth® capabilities for wireless audio connections to EFBs and mobile phones (select models).
- Bypass communications mode to provide primary ICS audio with or without power to the headset.
- Five-year limited warranty with exceptional service.
- Built to the latest ARINC standards and TSO/ETSO C139a certified.
- Available in dual plug, LEMO (6 pin), XLR (5 pin), and U174 variants, with U384 and other connectors becoming available in the coming year for GA, commercial, and military customers.
