ProFlight Is Bose’s Headset for Jet Pilots
For about $1,000, the ProFlight headset offers three levels of noise-cancellation and it weighs just 4.9 ounces.

Pilots who don’t want to wear a headset with full ear cups while flying a jet but still want the benefits of high-end audio might want to visit the Bose booth (4292) and try on the ProFlight headset.

The ProFlight, which went on sale in May and retails for $995.95, features a comfortable in-ear configuration and three user-selectable levels of digital active noise cancellation, which allows pilots to select the noise-cancellation level appropriate for the aircraft. The new headset also has a tap control for talk-through communication, enabling pilots to hear anyone on the flight deck even if they are not connected to the intercom, without removing the headset or earpiece.
