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 launched the ProFlight headset, a lightweight (4.9 oz) and compact Active Noise Reduction (ANR) unit aimed at professional airline and corporate jet pilots.
- It features an innovative earbud design with StayHear silicone tips, replacing traditional ear cups for enhanced comfort, and includes a stable headband.
- The ProFlight offers user-configurable ANR with three settings, tap control for adjusting noise cancellation on the fly, and built-in Bluetooth connectivity.
- While priced the same as the A20, it provides slightly less noise reduction, making it potentially more ideal for quieter jet cockpits than noisy propeller aircraft.
