BOSE A30 Headset - Non-Bluetooth, Single U174 Helicopter plug and Straight cable
The Bose A30 Aviation Headset delivers the best combination of comfort, audio clarity, and active noise cancellation on the market.
This version comes without Bluetooth, featuring a single U174 Helicopter plug and a straight cable, designed specifically for rotary pilots.
The A30 is the first headset to offer three user-selectable modes of active noise cancellation, making it the most comfortable and full-featured around-ear aviation headset ever produced by Bose. With 30 years of research focused on high-intensity flight environments, the A30’s design is tailored for tough conditions. Its lightweight and comfortable build is fully FAA TSO and EASA E/TSO-C139a certified, ensuring top performance where it counts.
Comfort.
Bose is known for creating the most comfortable aviation headsets, and the A30 raises the bar even higher. With 20% less clamping force than the A20, you’ll barely notice it’s on. A new aluminium alloy headband with a redesigned centre torsion spring evenly distributes weight, while a new headband pad adds extra cushioning. The left and right ear-cups are contoured to match your ears for a natural, all-day fit.
Quiet.
The A30’s fully digital ANR system delivers complete noise reduction across various environments, from roaring warbirds to whisper-quiet jets. Enhanced wind noise rejection boosts ANR performance, even on hot summer days, and the firmware is upgradeable to stay ahead of new technology. Despite these advanced features, the A30 maintains Bose’s impressive battery life: up to 45 hours of use, or 25 hours with Bluetooth for external audio.
Clarity.
Clear communication is crucial in aviation, and the Bose A30 excels in this area. Its noise-cancelling microphone eliminates background noise, while the fully flexible boom lets you position the mic exactly where you need it. Active equalisation ensures intercom and ATC conversations are always clear, so you never miss an important call. Optional Bluetooth connectivity enables audio alerts from your electronic flight bag app, phone calls on the ground, or music during flight—all with Bose’s renowned sound quality.
Durability.
Weighing less than 15 ounces, the A30 is built for durability. It meets FAA TSO and EASA E/TSO-C139a certification standards, having passed 145 rigorous tests, including drops onto concrete and exposure to extreme humidity. The redesigned cable is thinner and lighter but made with copper strands and a Kevlar core to resist kinks and tangles. The A30’s headband has no exposed wires and comes with a full 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Setting the Bar for Long-Term Comfort
The A30’s lightweight design with reduced clamping force offers unmatched comfort during long flights. It maintains the celebrated noise cancellation of the Bose A20 while being lighter overall and applying 20% less clamping force. Enhanced around-ear comfort and stability, quality materials, and dedicated left and right ear cups make this headset a leader in comfort.
- Superior balance of quiet, comfort, and audio clarity with three modes of user-selectable acoustic noise cancellation for different noise environments and aircraft.
- Optimised audio for clear communication, whether using an intercom or hot mic system.
- Durable and robust design built to withstand daily use in extreme environments.
- Lightweight build at just 14.2 ounces (404 grams).
- Choice of electret or dynamic microphones for clear communication, depending on aircraft ICS type.
- Side-swappable boom microphone and down cable—no tools needed.
- Tap control for talk-through communication.
- Bypass communications mode provides primary ICS audio even without power.
- Five-year limited warranty with acclaimed service.
- Built to latest ARINC standards and TSO/ETSO C139a certified.
- Available in dual plug, LEMO (6-pin), XLR (5-pin), and U174 versions, with U384 and other connectors coming soon for GA, commercial, and military customers.
