SNF Video: Bose In-Ear Headset

News Discussion
1

The Bose ProFlight Series 2 in-ear aviation headset has been out for a few years but buyers still don't know if they can work in piston cabins or if they are limited to quiet turbine-powered aircraft. Bose says they might work well in both, but we think you need to try them in your bird first. As a follow-up to the full flight trial in the January 2025 issue of Aviation Consumer magazine, Larry Anglisano stopped by the Bose exhibit at Sun 'n Fun 2025 in Florida for a demo with Bose Aviation's Chris Wuerlf.

I had a chance to test the headset in an airline cockpit. The noise attenuation was very good, although I’d probably have custom earpieces made if I bought one. What I found a bit strange is that without over-ear earpieces, there is no “logical location” where to place it on your head. (I assume you get used to that soon but in the few hours I used it I always found it strange to put on “somewhere”.
