Description
The Bose A30 headset is the latest in cutting-edge aviation headset technology. The most comfortable, full-featured over-ear headset on the market. The optional Bluetooth interface and three selectable modes of noise reduction with communication provide versatility for pilots across all aircraft, whether for helicopter, GA, commercial or Bizjet. It has a sleek, modern design and is made with materials selected for strength and durability to ensure stability over hours of use. The A30 is engineered to provide a new level of performance without bulk and clamping force. In addition, it is FAA/EASA TSO-C139a certified, and available in six different plug configurations and microphone types.
Key improvements and features
- Improved comfort and stability around the ear due to lowering the center of gravity of the headsets for even weight distribution. Manufactured with quality materials to meet Bose's strict high standards.
- Three optional digital active noise reduction settings that provide the best balance of silence, comfort and sound clarity Bose has ever produced with several technological innovations in the aviation industry. Featuring an electret microphone that reduces background noise from loud environments in radio transmissions, enabling improved communication and intelligibility. Low-level impedance is available for military applications.
- Further weight reduction creates the lightest aviation headset Bose has ever produced, weighing just 404 grams/14.2 ounces (on the head).
- The new quick-release microphone lets you switch mic positions quickly and easily.
- "Tap" control for talking through communications, designed specifically with commercial aviation in mind. Five-year limited warranty with reputable service
What is the difference between the A30 Aviation Headset and its predecessor, the A20 Aviation Headset?
The A30 Aviation Headset is the evolution of the A20. Its sleek, modern design significantly improves long-term comfort with less weight on the head and reduced clamping force. It also features three modes of active noise reduction and pressure control for communication.
The A30 maintains the renowned noise reduction and state-of-the-art materials and electronic features of the A20. Each of these advances helped create the best combination of noise reduction and sound clarity on the market.
Can the Bose A30 Aviation Headset be used in all types of aircraft?
Yes, it can. The A30 is optimized for use in general, military and commercial aircraft. It can be used in both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. It can be purchased with various connectivity options, including Dual G/A, 6-pin LEMO and 5-pin XLR. The A30 is not recommended for open cockpit aircraft where the headset is in the direct path of the wind and slipstream.
Can I switch the microphone to both sides?
Yes, you can. The integrated boom microphone and cable can be attached to either side of the headset with the tool-less coupling mechanism in a few simple steps.
How much noise reduction does the Bose A30 Aviation Headset provide?
The Bose A30 Aviation Headset provides three modes of user-selectable noise reduction that were individually developed for specific use cases. "Low" helps optimize interpersonal communication outside of the use of an intercom system. "Medium" provides the most consistent amount of reduction across a wide range of frequencies, and "High" provides the most active noise reduction to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio for radio communication. All three modes are designed for different applications.
Bose makes no claims about the noise reduction mode. We encourage pilots to try the product in a variety of aircraft to experience the dramatic performance and capabilities of each mode for themselves
What kind of microphone does the Bose A30 Aviation Headset have?
The A30 uses a noise-canceling electret microphone (often called a high-impedance microphone), which is typical for aircraft. It is optimized to reject far-field noise and improve performance when used with hot mic systems. What is the battery life of the Bose A30 Aviation Headset? The A30 operates for a minimum of 45 hours from two AA alkaline batteries in typical aircraft noise. With continuous operation of the Bluetooth feature, battery life will last for over 25 hours. As always, battery life varies with battery type, noise environment and functions used during flight. The headset has a battery life indicator light to signal when batteries need to be changed.
