Well worth the buy.
by GEORGE from SOUTH AFRICA
Pros: ANR, Comfort, Light clamping effect on the head.
Cons: Think framed sun glasses don't work well
Review: 1)Defiantly worth the buy.
2)The ANR is works very well.
3)The headset could do with a development to incorporate wearing sun glasses with a thicker frame. Very comfortable to wear without sun glasses or sun glasses with thin frame.
4)The ANR and sound quality though the headset is brilliant.

Best Headset I've ever owned.
by A Customer from Grand Forks ND USA
Pros: Comfortable for many hours of flying. Very quiet.
Cons: None
Review: I am a full time flight instructor who uses the Bose A20 every day, sometimes up to 8 hours a day. When using my old headset, at the end of the day my head felt like it had been in a vice and my ears would ring after the engine was shut down. Both problems have been solved with the purchase of my Bose A20. Its built very well, its very comfortable, and it does a very good job of reducing that hum of the engine. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Nice Headset!
by Bruce the Jump Pilot from Davis, CA USA
Pros: Comfortable... quiet... and not a battery hog...
Cons: Expensive
Review: I am very pleased with my new Bose A20 headset. I fly a turbo-prop PAC-750XL for a busy skydiving company and often spend over 8 hours per day in the cockpit. Our airplane is a powerful, stripped-down, souped-up workhorse, but it is also very noisy inside. I wear a headset all day. With my Bose A20, I no longer experience the discomfort that I have endured with other headsets. Great product!

I could hear myself think!!!
by Bob, R22 student pilot, Australia from Bankstown Airport, NSW, Australia
Pros: Light weight, great noise reduction, great mike
Cons: With no batteries or noise reduction off, not quiet enough
Review: I had noise cancelling headsets before, but this is absolutely a must. I could hear myself think, I could hear the radio calls and begin understand them, too - for a student pilot with 20 hours experience, it is very important. The lack of a bluetooth was a choice - in hindsight it would have been good for down the road with Bluetooth.

"Great Headsets"
by Edgar, Cirrus SR 22 Pilot from Montgomery AL USA
Pros: I like how the earseals don't touch eachother while not in use. They do not deform.
Cons: On panel powered sets, one shouldn't have to turn them on. I should be automatic, that way the pilot doesn't forget to turn them on.
Review: Hands down the best headset I have ever tryed. A great improvement over the X headsets. More confortable and quieter on long flights. Thumbs up !!! BOSE

Great headset
by Mario from Burbank CA USA
Pros: Light, comfortable and very quiet.
Cons: Expensive, but it's worth it
Review: My wife has an earlier model (Bose X). I've used it several times and I thought it was great. Recently I read that Bose had made some improvements on the A20 model. I was a little skeptical but I bought one to try it out. Well, to my surprise it was smaller, lighter and more comfortable. Even the noise cancelling was definitely superior.

Worth every penny!
by Brad from Poway CA USA
Pros: See product review
Cons: None
Review: I am the proud owner of a David Clark H10-13S headset and, I must say, I love that headset. But now owning a pair of A20s has forced me to open my heart to fit two. One a little more than the other...ok A LOT more. My A20s are simply awesome. I mean the word "awesome" both as "cool" and "sense of awe". The first time I put the A20s on and powered them up it was like I was sitting at home and quietly enjoying a book. But I was still at the controls! I was simply amazed at the comfort and clarity of this headset. If you are on the fence about buying this headset, I HIGHLY recommend it. If I was asked if I would by it again, I would answer with no hesitation, "hell yes I would".

Full value for money!!

by Brad from Poway, CA
Review: Bought this headset as a 21st birthday present from me to me. My previous headset, a David Clark H10-13S, is now my loaner and what a difference! The first time i flew with the Bose, I was very impressed by the noise cancellation, by the time I landed (around 2 hours later) I had completely forgotten i was wearing a headset. The Bose was EXTREMELY comfortable. I would recommend them to anybody. Excellent headset.

Absolutely the best, better than Zulu
by R44 Pilot from Ft. Pierce, Fl
Review: I fly an R44 helicopter with the doors off 8 hours a week. I have been using Lightspeed Zulu's headsets. The A 20's are much quieter. I have switched them in flight for a rock solid comparison.

Ah, relief
by Paul from Portland, ME USA
Pros: Excellent noise cancelling ability
Cons: Top head pad could use more padding. Noticeably annoying after several hours of use.
Review: When I first flew with this headset (I wear glasses) I thought it was good and comfortable. Then after about an hour airborne I realized I had forgotten to turn on the noise cancellation. What a trip that was! A night and day difference. I never forget to turn it on after engine start now. It's a lighter headset than what I was using and is well worth the price of admission. I should've purchased this years ago.

Perfect product
by Sonia from Lake Charles LA USA
Pros: I can hear my MP3 during the flight. High performance.
Cons: not one
Review: I loved it, I recommend.

by Phil from Torrance, CA USA
Review: Everyone I spoke with prior to buying the headset said I would like them. And in fact they are terrific. I am flying a 1978 Cessna 182RG of which am intent on it's originality, as this one is a survivor to date. As they say something is only original once. 20-30 years from now I want this airplane to remain as it was sold off the line in 1978 while it continues it's journey from caretaker to tne next beyond me. Where I was going with this thought is that the Bose headset is quite modern, not vintage. So they are a little out of period, but really nice!

Very good product
by A Customer from Kingston GA USA
Pros: lightweight, hearing quality outstanding
Cons: none
Review: I am new to aviation and bought a cheaper headset in the beginning. I have good hearing but a cheaper passive is NOT the way to go. I would advise any beginner to not make that mistake. The active noise reduction is simply amazing, I can hear things now that my instructor only told me about. The Bose A20 is superior in comfort and quality to any headset I have used.

Problem with the speaker
by Tanguy from SAN FRANCISCO CA USA
Pros: light and good noise cancelling
Cons: Resistance in the long term?
Review: Left speaker failed after 2 weeks use!? Do you think it's normal for such an expensive headset?

A-20 Headset, absolutely awsome
by Daniel J Wright from Spring Hill FL USA
Cons: cost
Review: I have two noisey aircraft and the noise canceling quality is amazing in both aircraft, one is open cockpit. Also I wear glasses and my old headsets used to hurt where the bows hit the side of my head, the a-20 is no problem. I hated to spend that much money but now I am glad I did.
