GENERAL AVIATION

Focus on what matters most.

It’s all about the flying experience. That’s why the A30 is perfect for general aviation pilots, giving them the noise cancellation and comfort to be laser-focused on the task at hand. When you slip on the A30, everything else just seems to fall away.

COMMERCIAL PILOTS

Professional pilots deserve the best.

Professional pilots understand the importance of clear communication and comfort. The A30 allows pros to choose between three modes of active noise cancellation. Tap control allows pilots to quickly change either earcup to low-mode to communicate with a co-pilot or crew. A center pivot spring reduces clamping force to provide maximum comfort and a consistent earcup seal during long flights.

Product Description

The Bose A30 Aviation Headset is best utilized where noise is pervasive, comfort is required and communication is critical. The Bose A30 is Bose’s highest-performing, full-featured around-ear active noise cancelling aviation headset to date. With 20% less clamping force than the Bose A20 and redistributed weight for superior on-head stability, the comfort of the A30 rises to the top among over-the-ear form factors. The Bose A30 Aviation Headset with Bluetooth further improves upon the comfort and functionality of the Bose A20 with a new acoustic design and a fully digital active noise reduction (ANR) system. As the first-ever around-ear aviation headset with three modes of user selectable noise cancellation, the Bose A30 enables pilots to control the noise they hear in the cockpit. Plus, the Bose A30’s optional Bluetooth interface and tap control for talk-through communication offer versatility for pilots across all aircraft. This pilot headset also features a toolless, side swappable boom mic and down cable, and its improved carry case has internal zippered storage and padded sides for extra protection.

This thing is great!

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I was a little hesitant after reading some reviews on the a30 over the a20. After flying with this headset, I think the negative reviews are from people having an expectation that the a30 would be the next revolution in aviation headsets that the a20 was when it came to market. In my opinion I feel like the a30 fine tuned the great things about the a20.

This being said though from getting to fly an a20 on occasion and not as a primary headset. My headset before was a Denali d90 from flightcom. I love that headset, super comfortable, ok ANR. I say that to say, going from the d90 to the a30 made the d90 feel like a clamp with a David Clark being a vice on that scale lol. The ANR on the a30 is so good, I had to relearn all the engine noise nuances. Bluetooth is seamless and sounds amazing phone and music. I like the option to mute or not when the intercom or radio keys up. Phone call audio is awesome and no one knows I'm flying unless I tell them. I've hot about 20 hrs on the a30a so far with no cons. Definitely worth it.

The best

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I am currently a student pilot, switching from 12 years in education into becoming a commercial pilot. I invested in my own headset right away, knowing I’d be using it to earn thousands of flight hours. The comfort of this headset is incredible. They are lightweight and comfortable. The new design of the top hinge on the headband keeps a firm closure on the headphones, but is never tight, hot, or uncomfortable. The noise canceling is a GAME CHANGER. I would only recommend noise canceling to anyone else flying…it will help you focus on what matters while you are in the air. I have not used the Bluetooth capability yet, but I imagine it will be extremely convenient for cross-country flights, when connected to FOREFLIGHT on my iPad to update on traffic, weather, and landmarks while I am able to focus on my windscreen and instruments. These are great. I can’t imagine them being better…but them.

Great products but the noise cancelling is already starting to fade (I bought these in March 2024). I’d be careful when it comes to support from Amazon as they have refused to exchange them. Sadly the music does not cut out when flight comms is initiated like it should. Amazon were pretty savage and said we can’t offer a replacement, speak to Bose.
