The Bose ProFlight Series 2 in-ear headset has been out for a few years, but because Bose initially targeted the turbine market with this headset, many buyers with piston aircraft don’t know if it’s a fit for them.

For some, it isn’t.

As a chase to the field report in Aviation Consumer magazine, Larry Anglisano went to the Bose exhibit at Sun ‘n Fun for a demo with Chris Wuerlf— and an explanation of what market this headset might really serve.
