Description
Bose A30 Aviation Headset
Next-generation comfort, clarity and control for professional flight operations
The Bose A30 Aviation Headset represents the latest evolution in Bose aviation technology, engineered to deliver exceptional comfort, advanced noise management and clear communication across a wide range of aircraft environments. Designed for pilots who demand performance without compromise, the A30 combines a refined, lightweight construction with intelligent features that support both general aviation and commercial flight decks.
Built using high-quality, durable materials and a modern low-profile design, the headset provides long-duration wearing comfort while maintaining the audio performance Bose aviation headsets are known for. With selectable noise-cancellation modes, optional Bluetooth® connectivity and FAA/EASA TSO-C139a certification, the A30 is optimised for today’s diverse operating conditions—from piston aircraft to turbine fleets and business jets.
Key Features
Enhanced Long-Haul Comfort
The A30 has been re-engineered with a lower centre of gravity to improve weight distribution on the head, reducing pressure points and clamping force. The result is greater stability and comfort during extended flights.
Three Selectable Active Noise Cancellation Modes
Digitally controlled noise reduction allows pilots to tailor performance to the environment:
-
Low – Ideal when greater situational awareness or cockpit conversation is required
-
Medium – Balanced reduction across a wide frequency range
-
High – Maximum noise attenuation to improve radio clarity in louder aircraft
Each mode is designed for specific operational use rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Lightweight, Durable Design
At approximately 404 g (14.2 oz on-head), the A30 is Bose’s lightest full-feature aviation headset, helping reduce fatigue without sacrificing strength or durability.
Advanced Electret Microphone
The integrated noise-cancelling electret microphone reduces background cockpit noise in transmissions, improving intelligibility—particularly in high-noise or “hot mic” environments. A low-impedance configuration is available for specialised applications.
Tap Control for Talk-Through Communication
Designed with commercial operations in mind, tap control allows quick conversation without removing the headset, supporting efficient cockpit workflow.
Tool-Free, Reversible Microphone
The quick-release boom can be repositioned to either side of the headset in seconds—no tools required—allowing flexible setup for individual preference.
Optional Bluetooth® Interface
Connect compatible devices for audio or communication integration while maintaining aviation audio priority.
Built for Operational Versatility
The A30 is suitable for use across:
-
General aviation aircraft
-
Commercial flight decks
-
Business jets
-
Military platforms (configuration dependent)
-
Fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters
Multiple connection options are available, including Dual G/A, 6-pin LEMO and 5-pin XLR, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of avionics installations.
Note: Not recommended for open-cockpit aircraft where the headset is exposed directly to wind and slipstream.
Performance Without Bulk
The A30 builds upon the proven foundation of its predecessor while introducing:
-
Reduced on-head weight and clamping force
-
Improved ergonomic balance
-
Greater operational flexibility with adjustable ANR modes
-
Updated materials and mechanical design for long-term reliability
The result is a headset engineered to deliver strong noise reduction and audio clarity in a lighter, more comfortable platform.
