BOSE® AVIATION HEADSET X

Bose® technology makes the difference Most active noise reduction headsets require large earcups and considerable headband force to muffle aircraft noise. Enjoy full-spectrum noise reduction, comfortable fit and clearer reception when you fly with the Bose® Aviation Headset X. Thanks to proprietary TriPort® headset technology, this unique combination of benefits is available in one lightweight headset. The redesigned control module and greater usability make it the #1 headset choice of many pilots and military personnel even better. Through 25 years of research, Bose® has developed a better solution—TriPort® headset technology. This patented innovation enables a smaller, more comfortable headset that delivers full-spectrum noise reduction. Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headset technology contributes to this high level of noise reduction. It monitors sound at the ear, identifies unwanted noise and creates an out-of-phase signal to reduce it. Their active equalization circuitry also delivers clean, full sound that improves the intelligibility of radio and intercom audio. In fact, U.S. Air Force tests with Bose headsets achieved intelligibility scores of 95% at 115db compared to 80% for conventional headsets. At Bose, a comfortable fit is mission critical Whether you’re a general aviator or helicopter pilot, comfort counts. That’s why Bose® designed the Headset X with 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, smarter battery life Proprietary AdaptiSense™ headset technology allows at least 40 hours use from just 2 AA batteries. It supplies power as needed, detects when you’ve stopped wearing the headset and automatically shuts off the active electronics. Plus, the new tri-color indicator provides real-time battery status. Focus on your flight, not your headset controls The redesigned control module is 30% smaller than the previous version and even easier to use. Its slim design puts all functions—including dual thumbwheel volume controls—within easy reach. The improved boom microphone design enables smoother, more precise adjustments.
