From a pilot’s point of view
To best understand how revolutionary our Aviation Headset X is, listen to the real experts—pilots just like you.

Technology, the source behind the performance
As a pilot you’ve got high expectations for your equipment. But most active noise reduction headsets require large earcups and considerable headband force to reduce aircraft noise. Through 25 years of research, we’ve developed a better solution with the invention of the TriPort headset structure. This proprietary innovation enables our smaller, more comfortable headset to deliver full-spectrum noise reduction.

Bose Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headset circuitry monitors sound at the ear, identifies unwanted noise and creates an out-of-phase signal to reduce it. Our active equalization circuitry delivers clean, full sound with improved intelligibility of radio and intercom audio. In fact, US Air Force tests with our Acoustic Noise Cancelling headsets achieved intelligibility scores of 95% at 115db.

Comfortable fit is mission critical
The TriPort headset acoustic structure enables the Aviation Headset X to offer 50% less clamping force than most active noise reduction headsets. The solid magnesium headband is extremely lightweight, yet durable. The sheepskin cushion eliminates hot spots, and soft, padded ear cushions provide an effective seal—even over glasses. The result is superior noise reduction in a comfortable headset that weighs only 12 ounces.

Longer battery life, smarter controls
Our proprietary AdaptiSense headset circuitry allows at least 40 hours of use from just two AA alkaline batteries. It supplies power as needed, detects when you’ve stopped wearing the headset and automatically shuts off the active electronics after you have finished flying to preserve battery life. The ergonomic control module puts this technology and all other features, including dual thumbwheel volume controls, within easy reach.
