Three Levels of Active Noise Cancellation
The Bose A30 gives pilots greater control over how much of their environment they hear with three user-selectable levels of noise cancellation.
HIGH – General Aviation & Piston Aircraft
Maximum noise reduction for louder cockpit environments.
MEDIUM – Turboprops & Business Jets
Balances effective noise reduction with increased awareness of the surrounding environment.
LOW – Commercial Airliners & Jets
Designed for quieter cockpit environments where less active noise reduction may be required.
Digital ANR significantly reduces ambient cockpit noise, helping you hear radio and intercom communications clearly while allowing audio volume to remain at a more comfortable level.
Lightweight Comfort for Long Flights
Designed with extended flying in mind, the Bose A30 combines premium materials with a lightweight around-ear design and dedicated left and right earcups for improved fit and stability.
At only 404 grams on-head, with 20% less clamping force than the Bose A20, the A30 reduces pressure around the head while maintaining a secure and comfortable fit.
Exceptional Audio & Communication Clarity
Bose Active Equalisation shapes incoming audio to improve clarity and intelligibility, helping make radio and intercom communications easier to understand.
The precision-focused noise-cancelling boom microphone is engineered to reduce unwanted cockpit noise while clearly capturing your voice — particularly important in demanding aviation environments where reliable communication is critical.
Tap Control
Need to quickly communicate with someone outside the intercom?
Simply double-tap an earcup to switch that side into Low ANR mode, allowing you to hear your surroundings more easily without removing the headset.
Tool-Free, Side-Swappable Microphone
Configure the A30 to suit your cockpit.
The boom microphone and down cable can be moved from one side of the headset to the other without tools, providing greater flexibility when changing aircraft or cockpit seating positions.
A lighter and more flexible down cable also improves overall comfort during use.
Bluetooth® Connectivity
Bluetooth® connectivity allows compatible A30 configurations to connect wirelessly with devices such as Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) and smartphones, giving pilots convenient access to compatible audio and communications.
Designed for Demanding Aviation Environments
The Bose A30 is built to withstand the demands of professional and recreational aviation.
Its robust construction is engineered for everyday operation in challenging aviation environments and is built to applicable ARINC standards.
The A30 is also FAA TSO and EASA E/TSO-C139a certified.
A bypass communications mode provides primary ICS audio with or without power to the headset.
