Two and a half years after its launch, Bose’s A30 aviation headset continues to earn praise for its comfort, clarity, and intelligent noise management. “The biggest question we [still] get is, ‘What’s the difference between the A20 and the A30,’” Chris Wuerfl, airline business development manager at Bose, told AIN. “The A30 has a design refresh—it looks different, it’s lighter, and it has 20% less clamping force.”

That lighter fit allows pilots to wear the headset comfortably over extended flights. Bose continues to focus on what Wuerfl described as the company’s three core principles: “comfort, clarity of audio, and active noise reduction.” He added that while overall noise attenuation is slightly improved from the A20, “comfort is definitely noticeable.”
