Bose A30 Aviation Headset
The Bose A30 Headset excels in environments where noise is constant, comfort is essential, and clear communication is critical. It offers the best combination of comfort, audio clarity, and active noise cancellation available on the market.
This Bluetooth version is equipped with a single 5-pin XLR5 plug, suitable for Airbus jets and some newer Boeing aircraft.
The A30 is the most comfortable, full-featured around-ear aviation headset Bose has ever designed. It’s also the first to feature three modes of user-selectable active noise cancellation. Every aspect of the A30 has been based on decades of Bose research and engineered to perform in high-intensity flight environments. Its lightweight and ergonomic design is fully FAA TSO and EASA E/TSO-C139a certified, ensuring its durability in challenging conditions.
Performance Where It Matters
Comfort.
Bose is renowned for its exceptional comfort in aviation headsets, and the A30 sets an even higher standard. With 20% less clamping force than the already comfortable A20, you’ll hardly notice it’s there. The new aluminium alloy headband, combined with a redesigned centre torsion spring, ensures even weight distribution, while a new headband pad offers extra cushioning. The left and right ear-cups are contoured to fit your ears naturally, making the A30 a headset you can comfortably wear all day.
Quiet.
The A30’s fully digital ANR system delivers exceptional noise reduction across various environments, from loud warbirds to quiet jets. Enhanced wind noise rejection ensures better ANR performance even on hot summer days, and the firmware is upgradeable to stay ahead of future technologies. Remarkably, these advanced features do not compromise the A30’s impressive battery life, which lasts up to 45 hours, or 25 hours with Bluetooth audio.
Clarity.
Clear communication is crucial in aviation, and the A30 excels in this area. Its noise-cancelling microphone filters out background noise, and the fully flexible boom allows precise positioning. Active equalisation enhances the clarity of intercom conversations and ATC instructions, so you never miss a vital message. Optional Bluetooth connectivity provides easy access to audio alerts from your electronic flight bag app, phone calls on the ground, or music during your flight—all with Bose’s renowned sound quality.
Durability.
Despite weighing less than 15 ounces, the A30 is built to last. It meets rigorous FAA TSO and EASA E/TSO-C139a certification standards, having passed 145 demanding tests, including drops onto concrete and exposure to extreme humidity. The redesigned cable is thinner and lighter, yet strong, with copper strands and a Kevlar core to resist kinks and tangles. The A30 features no exposed wires on the headband and comes with a full 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Setting the Bar for Long-Term Comfort
The A30’s lightweight design, coupled with reduced clamping force, ensures unmatched comfort during extended flights. It maintains the industry-leading noise cancellation of the Bose A20 while being lighter and applying 20% less clamping force. Enhanced around-ear comfort and stability, paired with premium materials and dedicated left and right ear cups, make the A30 a leader in comfort.
- Superior balance of quiet, comfort, and audio clarity, with three modes of user-selectable acoustic noise cancellation tailored for various noise environments and aircraft.
- Optimised audio for clear communication with or without an intercom or hot mic system.
- Durable and robust design engineered to withstand daily use in extreme conditions.
- Lightweight and compact at just 14.2 ounces (404 grams).
- Choice of electret or dynamic microphones for clear communication, depending on your aircraft’s ICS type.
- Side-swappable boom microphone and down cable—no tools needed.
- Tap control for talk-through communication.
- Bluetooth® capability for wireless connections to EFBs and mobile phones (select models).
- Bypass communications mode for primary ICS audio, even without power.
- Five-year limited warranty with renowned service.
