Bose Corporation released the original ProFlight headset in 2018, and reactions from professional aviators flying turbine equipment weren’t quite what the company was expecting from people willing to pay $1,000 each. Many gave up their trusty A20s on a promise that the new lightweight headset at 4.9 ounces would represent a radical upgrade from what some saw as the brain-numbing 12 ounces the older over-ear units weighed. The ProFlights were also fully Bluetooth capable.

Key Takeaways:
- The original Bose ProFlight headset, released in 2018, was praised for its lightweight design and effective active noise canceling but criticized by pilots for its awkward fit, instability, and poor music audio quality.

- The ProFlight Series 2 maintains key features like adjustable noise canceling via a side-tap and automatic shutdown, continuing its focus on professional pilots in the lower noise environments of turbine aircraft.
