A30 Wired Aviation Headset - Lightweight Comfortable Design, Adjustable ANR and Noise Cancelling Microphone, [U174] – Black

Replaced a set of Bose A20's with these. They are probably a little quieter, a little more comfortable, and the sound is a little better. If I tried these when I still had my A20's around, I would not have upgraded from the older set had my A20's not been stolen. Not enough difference to justify the cost.

!!!DO NOT BUY!!! Product description and photos clearly showed these headphones come with Bluetooth function but when received no Bluetooth was there. Not even the button on the controller. Had to face a lot of trouble since I shipped it out of USA and if I had to return I had to pay a lot of money so ended up just keeping it. Amazon did not take any responsibility even with me being a Prime member for several years. Very disappointed!!! I recommend buying these from Marv Golden instead.

No head clamps even after a long flight. ANR works great. I do recommend to use non rechargeable lithium battery. They will never leak or corrode. Worth the money.

I recently purchased the Bose A30 aviation headset with high expectations, considering the reputation of the brand and the price tag. While the overall quality of the headset is undeniably good, there were a few issues that prevented me from fully enjoying my experience. First and foremost, the noise cancelling feature, which is often praised as one of the highlights of Bose headphones, unfortunately, proved to be a letdown in this particular model. Surprisingly, instead of providing a peaceful and immersive audio experience, the noise cancelling actually caused discomfort in my ears. I found that it exerted a noticeable pressure on my eardrums, resulting in an unpleasant sensation during long periods of use. This unexpected side effect was quite disappointing, as I had hoped for a more comfortable listening experience. Another problem I encountered was related to the fit of the headset. Despite the adjustable headband and earcup design, I struggled to achieve a proper seal. The lack of a secure seal meant that external noise was not effectively blocked out, diminishing the overall noise reduction capabilities of the headphones. This compromised the immersion and concentration that I had hoped to achieve, especially in noisy environments. While the audio quality itself was decent and the voice transmission was clear, the aforementioned issues with noise cancelling and fit greatly impacted my overall satisfaction. Considering the premium price of the Bose A30 aviation headset, I expected a flawless performance across the board. Regrettably, these issues prevented me from fully endorsing the headset's value for money. That being said, it's important to acknowledge the positive aspects of this product. The build quality is solid, and the materials used are durable. The headset is also lightweight, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods. The microphone performance is good, allowing clear communication with other pilots or air traffic controllers. Ultimately, while the Bose A30 aviation headset does possess commendable qualities, such as durability and clear voice transmission, the issues with uncomfortable noise cancelling and the inadequate seal significantly detract from the overall experience. Given the high price point, it's hard to justify recommending this headset over other options that may provide similar or even superior performance without the drawbacks I encountered.

The best headset I have ever used. Really worth the money as it’s an investment. I wouldn’t recommend for a private pilot student since it is so pricey, but if you have your own plane or are flying for profit I’d say go for it!!

Product description indicated that the headset had bluetooth capability and it DOES NOT!!!! Even the Bose box shows a bluetooth logo. Do NOT buy from this vendor, totally wrong description and not the first time either .

This Item DOES NOT have Bluetooth capabilities

Excelente producto. Son increíblemente cómodos y ligeros, perfectos para vuelos largos. La cancelación de ruido es espectacular y ajustable según el entorno, las comunicaciones se escuchan claras incluso con el motor encendido. El Bluetooth funciona de maravilla y la batería dura muchísimo. Sin duda, una gran inversión para cualquier piloto que busque calidad y confort.
