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:
- Bose's original ProFlight headset (2018) was criticized by professional aviators for being awkward to wear, prone to falling off, and having poor music audio quality, despite its lightweight design and effective active noise canceling.
- In response to user feedback, Bose released the ProFlight Series 2, which is even lighter at 4.4 ounces and features a new thinner, more flexible cable designed to improve freedom of movement and ease of storage.
- The ProFlight Series 2 retains key features like adjustable noise canceling and automatic shut-off, and continues to be designed specifically for the lower noise environments of turbine aircraft cockpits.
