Description
The Bose A30 Aviation Headset is best utilized where noise is pervasive, comfort is required and communication is critical.
The A30 is the most comfortable, full-featured, around-ear active noise cancelling headset to date. It features the best balance of attenuation and audio clarity of any headset on the market. Its optional Bluetooth® interface and three selectable modes of active noise cancellation with talk-through communication offer versatility for pilots across all aircraft. It has a sleek, modern design and is made with materials chosen for strength and durability to ensure stability over hours of use. The A30 is engineered to provide a new level of performance without the usual bulk and clamping force of typical headsets. Additionally, it is FAA/EASA TSO-C139a certified, and available in six different plug configurations with many other cable and microphone types.
The A30 sets the bar for active noise cancellation. With several technological firsts and patents in the aviation industry, this headset represents improvements in comfort, noise reduction and capability not found in any other product.

Features
Acoustic Noise Cancelling® (ANC) Mode Switch |
Allows pilots to choose from three modes of noise cancellation to adjust the spectrum of “noise” they hear. |
Bose noise reduction technology optimizes pilots’ experiences by fading background distractions. Reducing low- frequency noise allows users to listen to communication audio at lower, more comfortable modes. Users can choose from three modes of noise cancellation. Low mode improves interpersonal communication outside the intercom. Medium mode is designed for typical jet aircraft, providing sufficient active noise cancellation for clear and comfortable radio communication. Medium mode also meets the latest ARINC recommendation for noise reduction in jet aircraft. Finally, high mode provides a better experience in louder aircraft with Bose’s best intercom signal-to-noise ratio to date. |
Active Equalization |
Electronic circuitry automatically shapes and equalizes incoming audio signals. |
Clean, fully optimized sound quality enhances intelligibility and clarity of intercom audio while still sounding natural. |
Easily Replaceable Ear Cushions |
Ear cushions easily detach and reattach. |
Provides a more stable, comfortable fit and allows pilots to detach and reattach cushions for cleaning or to share headsets by quickly replacing cushions. |
Electret and Dynamic Microphone Options |
Noise cancelling microphone provides clear communication with reduced background noise. Electret and 5 ohm and 150 dynamic microphone options are also available. |
Reduces background noise from loud environments in radio transmissions, enabling improved communications and intelligibility. |
Power LED and Battery- Life Indicators |
Lights indicate when noise cancellation is turned on as well as the remaining hours of battery life (green: healthy; amber slow flash: 8 hours remaining; red quick flash: less than 2 hours remaining). |
Provides users with a real-time battery-life indication. With fresh batteries, users can expect at least 25 hours of continuous use when Bluetooth® is being used and 45+ hours without Bluetooth®. |
Control Module |
Features left and right channel volume controls, a noise cancellation mode switch, a battery-status LED light, a power switch, audio prioritization circuitry and two AA batteries. |
The module fits comfortably in users’ hands or can be stored in a pocket or hung using the included hanger or cable clips. |
Limited Five-Year Warranty |
Covers parts, labor and second-day return shipping expenses worldwide for malfunction not caused by user. |
Customers can feel confident in their investment and with Bose Corporation. |
Digital Active Noise Reduction |
Fully digital active noise reduction control loop. |

Cable Wires |
High-quality upper and lower copper cables include up to 17 separate conductor lines to enable power, signals and data transfer to and from the headset. |
Copper cables with a Kevlar core keep cable in place, and flexible insulation ensures durability and TSO compliance in the toughest environments, including TSO flame-resistance. |
Swappable Down Cable |
Allows users to switch boom microphone and down cable from left to right side without tools. |
Positions the boom microphone and down cable for improved comfort and cockpit ergonomics. |
