The Bose A30 Aviation Headset is the most comfortable and full-featured around-ear headset Bose has ever created. As the first-ever around-ear aviation headset with three modes of user selectable active noise cancellation, it dramatically improves every flight experience. The A30 is the best combination of comfort, audio clarity and active noise cancellation available on the market. Plus, its lightweight design is FAA TSO and EASA/TSO-C139a certified, proving its durability, even in the toughest conditions.

The Bose A30 Aviation headset harnesses the power of sound to transform the flying experience. With unmatched comfort and three modes of active noise cancellation, the A30 was designed to strip away distractions and let you focus on being the best pilot you can be. Because no matter the aircraft, there’s nothing like the freedom of flight.

Bose A30 Aviation Headset Key Benefits and Technology:

  • Lightweight design with low clamping force for unparalleled comfort. A full-sized around-ear headset with 20% less clamping force than the A20.
  • Unmatched audio clarity with active equalization. Incoming signals are shaped and equalized for enhanced clarity and intelligibility.
  • Industry-leading active noise reduction with three user selectable modes. Adjustable noise cancellation modes to accommodate different use cases or personal preference.
  • Precision-focused noise cancelling microphone. The noise cancelling microphone is engineered for aircraft with “hot mic” or PTT systems to increase clarity and reduce background noise during transmission. Mic winglets also allow for precise mic and boom adjustments.
  • Robust, durable design that is FAA TSO and EASA E/TSO-C139a certified. The headset is FAA/EASA TSO certified and has passed 145 separate tests by the Bose engineering and quality assurance team to ensure endurance in challenging operating environments.
  • Removable/Side swappable down cable and mic, no tools required. Boom mic and cable can be mounted on either side of the headset without using any tools.
  • Bluetooth audio. Connect wirelessly to mobile devices, audio systems and electronic flight bags. Audio prioritization allows users to mix Bluetooth audio with intercom audio or have intercom transmissions mute Bluetooth temporarily. A non-Bluetooth headset variant is also available.
  • Shielded, durable and flexible cable. Cable is resistant to radiated emissions with a thin design that allows for increased freedom of movement and easy storage.
  • Digital active noise cancellation. Significantly reduces ambient noise, allowing users to lower radio volume to a more comfortable listening level.
  • Long term durability. Built and tested for extended use in demanding environments, having passed 145 separate tests by the Bose research and development team to ensure headset endurance.
  • Tap control for talk-through communication. Double-tap either earcup to engage low mode and optimize audio for interpersonal communications outside of the intercom.
  • Automatic shutoff. Powers down automatically when not in use. An auto-on feature is also available on select panel-powered configurations.
  • Exceptional battery life. Two AA batteries power 25-plus hours of Bluetooth use and 45-plus hours without. Aircraft-powered variants are also available.
  • Bypass communications mode. Primary intercom audio is available with or without power.
  • Five-year limited warranty with acclaimed service. Worldwide coverage (excludes wear items like ear cushions, mic covers and headbands).
  • Carrying case. Includes a strap and an internal zippered storage compartment and enhanced padding for safe and secure storage.

  • Pros:
  • Review: I had a Lightspeed Zulu headset but I found ground DNR was not as effective - low humming, Yes the hearing equity was nice but honestly for ATC it didn't really matter. I found the Zulu heavy and the mic arm short. My Pilot Store was the only place that allowed me to trade it in for a Bose A30 which I love. Lighter, smaller in my flight bag, perfect for what I need.

Very Good Headset

Bose Quality Can't be Beat

  • By Jared from Denver CO USA on Thursday, February 19, 2026
  • Pros: Lightweight
  • Review: After starting flight school, I realized just how poor the clarity was in the loaner headsets. What a game change to have the Bose A30 with bluetooth. Not only does it produce crisp, clear sound, but I also appreciate the long battery life and the ability to listen to music when I'm not flying. The headset is lightweight and comfortable. They're spendy, but worth the investment in my opinion.

Good headset

  • By Jerome 172 driver. CFI from Hutchinson KS USA on Friday, November 21, 2025
  • Pros: Light, comfortable
  • Review: I was expecting the ANR to be superior to my Jurassic Bose X, it isn't, it's about the same in my noisy 172.

Better than the A20

  • By Christopher A. Weedon from Waterford, MI on Wednesday, September 3, 2025
  • Pros: Headset is light and quiet...even with ANR off.
  • Review: Headset is light and quiet...even with ANR off. The new padding is much more comfortable than the A20. The battery life is anything but "exceptional." The batteries do not last 25 hours in my experience. The carrying case is nice, but it is small and you can't fit much in the interior storage compartment. Its a nice case, but Bose really missed the opportunity for provide a premium case (with more usable storage) with a $1,300 headset. There is no storage on the exterior of the case, which is a definite fail.

9 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

  • Previously Asked Questions

  • Sunday, March 1, 2026

    Q: Can I change a plug in the future?

    A: Sure!  This is a modular headset and the entire cable assembly from the headset down can be changed in just a few seconds without tools.  There are Bose A30 cables for airplanes, helicopters, panel power, XLR for Airbus, military, etc.  We also offer a large selection of headset adapters if you don''t want to replace the entire cable assembly.

  • Wednesday, August 20, 2025

    Q: My wife is a commercial pilot on Embraer 190 and 170. Which plug can she use ?

    A: For fixed wing aircraft, you would select the "fixed wing 2 plug" from the drop down before adding to the cart. 

  • Saturday, July 26, 2025

    Q: Which option should I get to use in multiple aircraft: jet w powered LEMO jack and piston w STRAIGHT plug & batteries??

    A: In that scenario I would suggest getting the LEMO option as your main configuration.  That will power the headset from the aircraft electrical system.  Then, when you need to use it in a dual PJ jack setup, get the 6-pin LEMO Panel Power to Fixed Wing Dual Plug Adapter and make sure you have batteries in the battery box.  The LEMO configuration will have a battery box but you would only need to use it when you are not powered by the aircraft.  The other option is to get a second down cable with the Bose A30 Cable Assembly With Bluetooth - Straight Cord, Twin Plugs.  You can swap out the entire cable assembly depending on which airplane you are flying.  It''s an easy, no-tools, required swap of the cables.  It''s more expensive that way, but you don''t have to deal with an adapter.

  • Sunday, May 4, 2025

    Q: If i fly boeing 737-400 which type should i take that universal for all boeings

    A: Get option 1:  Dual Plugs, Fixed Wing Portable.  That will work in all commercial Boeing aircraft.

  • Friday, October 25, 2024

    Q: I have a PA-28-140 , I don't know what the name of the “plug type” is on my plane, can you help me or send images please?

    A: You almost certainly need option 1: fixed wing 2 plug for your Piper Cherokee.  The only other possibility is if there was an after-market modification done to add a 6-pin LEMO jack to your PA-28.  You can review the plug types on our Aviation Headset Connectors page.

  • Sunday, May 26, 2024

    Q: Please confirm that with the headset Bose A30, one carrying case is already included

    A: Yes, they include a nice carry case!

  • Saturday, January 20, 2024

    Q: If you unplug the cord could you still use them as music headphones like the qc45. So you use them when you commute home.

    A: Yes, you certainly can as a music headset outside of the cockpit.

  • Sunday, April 2, 2023

    Q: Do they provide any hearing protection if you unplug the cord and exit an aircraft?

    A: Yes, as long as the headset is still turned on and powered by the AA batteries, it will still provide noise reduction and will still be able to connect via Bluetooth to devices such as phones or tablets for streaming audio.
