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.

- Priced at $995.95, the ProFlight offers slightly less noise reduction than the A20 but targets jet aircraft pilots who prioritize its lighter design and innovative features over maximum ANR.
