Can I comfortably wear glasses with the Bose A30 Aviation Headset?
Yes. The earcups have supple leatherette-covered foam cushions that provide an effective acoustic seal – even over glasses. Pilots should be able to comfortably wear thin-rimmed glasses without significantly diminishing noise reduction.
Can I switch the microphone to either side?
Yes. The integrated boom mic and cable can be attached to either side of the headset with the toolless connector mechanism in a few simple steps.
What is the latest technology in the Bose A30 Aviation Headset?
The Bose A30 Aviation Headset includes several important technology developments. The most significant advancement is the new digital active noise reduction system that provides full attenuation in even louder environments compared to the Bose A20, which is the current industry leader. In addition, the new system provides a renewed balance of attenuation across the entire spectrum of noise based on user selectable modes. Bose proprietary microphones both inside and outside the earcup enable optimized performance in loud environments across a range of frequencies. The small electronics system senses the sound by more effectively measuring, comparing and reacting to produce an opposing cancellation signal. The proprietary ear cushion design
provides additional passive attenuation, and the headset design uses carefully selected materials to block noise from entering the ear and further improve comfort. In addition, the headset features a high-performing microphone for communication and a Bluetooth® audio communications interface, both weighing in at just a fraction of competing headsets.
What makes the A30 Aviation Headset so comfortable?
Overall, the Bose A30 Aviation Headset is one of the smallest, lowest-clamping and lightest around-ear active noise cancelling headsets on the market – it’s a balance of function and comfort without sacrificing stability.
The headset’s angled earcups follow the contours of pilots’ heads, and the intentional shape of the headband pads help achieve the highest level of comfort in the lowest possible on-head weight. Additionally, the A30 has distinct left and right earcups with a quick release and a side swappable mic for improved comfort and ergonomics.
