Hands-on with the Bose ProFlight Series 2 Headset
Bose's ProFlight Series 2 aviation headset brings lightweight active noise canceling to the business jet and airline market.

Bose introduced the ProFlight Series 2 digital active noise-canceling aviation headset in July last year, updating the original ProFlight with new comfort features based on customer requests. The ProFlight headsets are lightweight and feature in-ear tips, a departure from traditional over-the-ear aviation headsets.

When Bose engineers designed the ProFlight headset, released in 2018, they were responding to customer requests for Bose noise cancelation but in a product more suitable for quieter environments and without the bulky ear cups. The Bose A20 active noise-canceling headset has long been popular among pilots of piston- and turbine-powered light aircraft, but business jet pilots work in a much quieter environment and didn’t want to have to wear the bulkier headset.
