Bose A30 Bluetooth Aviation Headset – Lightweight Comfort, 3-Mode ANR, Adjustable Mic [U174] – Black

Engineered for noisy cabins, designed for comfort

The Bose A30 Aviation Headset blends a lightweight, full-sized circumaural design with thoughtful balance, delivering comfort even on extended flights. It features redistributed weight and ear seals that feel soft against the ears, helping you stay focused in long sessions without fatigue. Compared with earlier models, the A30 offers about 20% less clamping force, contributing to a breathable, stable fit that you can wear for hours.

Three selectable noise-cancelling modes for tailored cockpit comfort

The A30 provides three user-selectable noise-cancellation modes, allowing you to dial in the level of ambient noise to your preference. Active noise reduction works in tandem with an active-equalization approach to preserve clear voice transmission and intelligibility in busy environments.

• Mode 1: Maximum reduction for loud cockpits and engine noise
• Mode 2: Balanced reduction for steady chatter and ambient cabin sounds
• Mode 3: Lighter setting for increased situational awareness

Clear communication with flexible connectivity

Beyond hearing protection, the A30 is designed for real-world communication. An optional Bluetooth interface enables wireless audio from mobile devices or in-flight systems, while tap control supports talk-through communication. You can mute or mix Bluetooth audio with intercom to suit the moment, whether you’re coordinating a flight plan, reviewing charts, or taking a quick call between legs.

• Bluetooth audio with prioritization to blend or mute sources
• Tap control for quick talk-through without removing the headset
• Compatibility with mobile devices, flight bags, and cockpit systems

Practical design for professional use

The A30 emphasizes serviceability and ease of setup. The down cable and microphone are removable and side-swappable, so you can reconfigure the setup without tools. A redesigned carry case offers internal zippered storage and padded protection, keeping components secure between flights. The headset’s durable construction and lightweight cable contribute to comfortable handling and storage through busy travel days.

Safety, standards, and everyday reliability

Built to endure demanding flight environments, the A30 carries FAA TSO and EASA E/TSO-C139a certification. This robust design reflects extensive testing and quality assurance, giving pilot and crew confidence in performance under varied operating conditions. The combination of a slim, flexible cable and a snug, yet forgiving fit makes it a practical choice for ongoing use in busy cockpits or training environments.
