Description

The Bose A30 Aviation Headset is best utilized where noise is pervasive, comfort is required and communication is critical. The Bose A30 is Bose’s highest-performing, full-featured around-ear active noise cancelling aviation headset to date. With 20% less clamping force than the Bose A20 and redistributed weight for superior on-head stability, the comfort of the A30 rises to the top among over-the-ear form factors. The Bose A30 Aviation Headset with Bluetooth further improves upon the comfort and functionality of the Bose A20 with a new acoustic design and a fully digital active noise reduction (ANR) system. As the first-ever around-ear aviation headset with three modes of user selectable noise cancellation, the Bose A30 enables pilots to control the noise they hear in the cockpit. Plus, the Bose A30’s optional Bluetooth interface and tap control for talk-through communication offer versatility for pilots across all aircraft. This pilot headset also features a toolless, side swappable boom mic and down cable, and its improved carry case has internal zippered storage and padded sides for extra protection.

  • Great upgrade from A20s but downside is the new ANR
Size: LEMO 6-Pin
I’ve put about 1,000 hours on my headset now and will say. The ANR isn’t as good as a set of A20s in my opinion. I do fly 300 and 400 series Cessnas pressurized and unpressurized. I have listened to music through these at max or near max volume for 90% of the time. Sometimes on max volume and ATC Going the speaker will distort in your ear. Great music sound also. Just need to improve on ANR ... show more

  • The best
Size: LEMO 6-Pin
Have four different brands of high end headsets and the Bose are the best by far. My lightspeed headsets are also really good but I give the edge to Bose.

Noise canceling not as good as A20, but still the best.

  • Great for Cirrus SR20 & SR22
Size: LEMO 6-Pin
These have Bluetooth (another reviewer said they don’t). Great build quality, clear audio and mic, great noise cancellation, 6 pin is perfect for headset to be powered by aircraft (works perfectly on Cirrus SR20/22 G6 aircrafts). Comes with Bose soft shell case with a soft liner.

  • The Bomb!
Size: LEMO 6-Pin
We have the A20's. This was an anniversary gift for my pilot partner. He owns a Piper Cherokee. He loves them. The fit is comfortable and we did a full IMC landing with no visibility with an unmanned tower and he loved being able to make the phonecall after a safe landing because it had bluetooth. A very happy purchase! ... show more

  • Might be the best but it's not great.
Size: LEMO 6-Pin
I'm a rotorcraft CFI and this review may seem like it doesn't make sense at first glance but allow me to explain. This very well might be the best aviation headset available but it's sincerely not great. It's most certainly NOT worth "upgrading" from a fully functional A20 to this A30. It's a side grade at best and a downgrade depending on your preferences. My A20 died after about 13 years of use recently and so I got the A30. The A30's mic cable doesn't hold it's position. It's not rigid like pretty much every aviation headset I've ever used. You will move it into position near your mouth and then it springs back an inch or so and progressively more over time. Very strange oversight for a $1300 piece of communications equipment. It's a heavy headset, equally heavy as the A20 with an even bigger control module. Why, after over a decade, have you not figured out how to make this thing lighter, smaller, with a smaller module? Carbon fiber is a thing and for $1300, it should be the only thing this headset is comprised of. The noise cancelling and audio quality is the same or worse than the A20. Also, begs the question, why? Incidentally, I own the Bose quiet comfort 2 ear buds and their noise cancelling and audio quality for $300 destroys that of the A30 at $1k more. These tiny ear buds have better controls, better audio, more features, and they're 1/50th the size and weight. Are the engineers in the aviation division of Bose not allowed to chat with the music consumer division? After about a 3 minute chat they would have figured out the A30 is outdated before they even released it for sale. There's no excuse for the cables to be this size and this heavy either. They made the mic cable lighter and less rigid but kept the same heavy gauge input cable.. I also hate the power button and Bluetooth button, this should be a hard switch given this giant control module with 3 hard switches on it. Everything they gave us new with this headset is severely over rated to useless. Adjustable hard switch for ANC intensity? Hard switch for Bluetooth volume? Spinning ear cups for all those cooked heads out their complaining about non spinning ear cups? I've ranted long enough. The Bose aviation team is pulling an Apple with this product and just living off their past reputation as being the best headset and made minor useless feature additions to lure customers into needlessly giving them another $1300 for the same thing they already have. It might be the best, but it's only half way up and the bar is very very low. ... show more

  • Turn off setting then it’s good
Size: LEMO 6-Pin
As an aviation headset it’s great! If you’re an airline pilot you can stop reading and buy one, there cater for you guys only anyway. I honestly love Bose products. I just don’t get what they were thinking with these. I wore them in a small GA airplane and my first impressions were not good. I have A20’s as well and with the a30 I had to open the controller and Turn off all the settings to make it work as expected. (Then it works great just as good as the A20’s) Bose took 13 years to give us the A30’s and I would’ve been happy if they took 4 more years if they got it right. There might be one company that install A30’s in a flight helmet. Every one else offer to install light speeds with a warranty. They have a great setup to make the A30’s cater for everyone but unfortunately disappointed to say they catered for airline pilots only. Less than 20% of pilots in the United States are airline pilots. I love the fact that you could quickly swap the mic from side to side. They have the potential with that plug and play system to make the easiest helmet install headset ever. Bose please sell a helmet install kit with proper wiring and a plug and play system Anyway! I still love Bose products and just recently had to go on a hunt for a good pair of A20’s for my new helmet. ... show more
