Bose, already famous for creating the first commercially available active noise-reduction headset in 1989 and the highly successful A20 ANR unit in 2010, just announced its ProFlight headset, aimed at professional pilots in the airline and corporate jet aircraft sector. The ProFlight is a radical change to ANR headsets since Bose’s newest product does not use conventional ear cups and weighs in at just 4.9 ounces, less than half the weight of the A20. The ProFlight is also configurable with three different ANR settings to match a variety of cockpit noise challenges.
Bose’s ProFlight Aviation Headset is a Radical Change to ANR Headsets
Key Takeaways:
- Bose has launched the ProFlight headset, a radically redesigned, lightweight (4.9 oz) active noise-reduction unit aimed at professional airline and corporate jet pilots.
- It replaces traditional ear cups with comfortable earbuds, offers three configurable ANR settings, and features tap control for ANR adjustment, along with Bluetooth connectivity.
- Priced at $995.95, similar to the A20, the ProFlight provides slightly less overall noise reduction, making its suitability for noisier general aviation cockpits a potential trade-off.
