In summer we fly a lot in and out of hot countries. So I was looking for something light and comfortable but still offering very good protection against engine noise. Noise is distracting and makes you tired. So a good ANR should be included as well. Also it should be tough enough to survive in hard working days.When I saw the ProFlight headset the first time I realised this was something new and special. I was a must have for me. Flying a Citation XLS+ with a "normal" headset did not use to be a big problem because the aircraft is not so loud inside. But using the ProFlight turned flying into pure pleasure.The new ProFlight Series 2 offers it all. You can adjust the level for noise cancelling, use tap control to communicate with our cabin attendant. And while ... MoreIn summer we fly a lot in and out of hot countries.

I tried the original ProFlight as well and the cable was too thick. With the improved thinner ProFlight Series 2 cable all is fine for me.

This review is for the Bose Proflight Series 2 Bluetooth w/ XLR plug for Airbus aircraft. I’ve tested out this headset for a full month’s flying schedule (70 block hours) at a legacy airline. I’ve tested the headset in a variety of A320’s, A319’s, and brand new A321’s (non-NEO); I’m coming to this headset from using the Telex 850 for several years. I haven’t found a ton of reviews on the Series 2 headset so I will try to be as thorough as I can to help out others who are curious.The case itself is larger than I’m used to so I’ve had to reconfigure my flight bag for the larger size. As far as the physical construction: the headset is VERY light, it does not seem like cheap construction at all, but it also doesn’t seem like it’s super rugged either. The control box ... MoreThis review is for the Bose Proflight Series 2 Bluetooth w/ XLR plug for Airbus aircraft.

As far as the physical construction: the headset is VERY light, it does not seem like cheap construction at all, but it also doesn’t seem like it’s super rugged either. The control box comes with a rubber strap that fits around the headset holder in the Airbus with only minor stretching. The new cord (which previously had a lot of negative reviews) is now almost identical in size to the cord on the Telex. Very light and very flexible. I’ve had zero instances of tugging or the headset moving around, and that’s through a combination of normal ops and me intentionally trying to whip my head around and get it to move. After a bit you really do forget that it’s sitting on top of your head. The mic is also very flexible and easy to position to your liking. For those that haven’t used the Bose QC20’s, the earbuds are a similar soft material and they work in the same fashion that they sit gently at the edge of your ear canal, you do NOT jam these things into your ear.I would say that the noise cancelling is really good on the high setting. At the high setting it is not 100% silent, as you can still hear the wind noise but it is so muted that you would have to intentionally focus on listening for it. During a normal conversation you barely hear any wind noise. Also, our A320’s are very old and the avionics fans are incredibly loud. This headset really worked well for quieting the loud avionics fans on our older airframes. With that being said, depending on the other guy you can still kind of hear him talking through the noise cancelling without being bothered by wind noise, for what that’s worth. The incoming audio itself is incredibly clear, my only complaint is that the mic seems a bit too sensitive for my liking. In that my own voice seems to be projected louder in my own headset, but numerous crew members have said that they hear me normally, so it must be a function within the headset itself. In terms of the XLR plug, our fleet configuration doesn’t support the auto on/off function. So I’ve been using batteries. The battery life is good (not great), but that’s me using it below FL180, and then turning it off and taking off the headset in cruise. I’ve been able to get a much longer battery life like that. Finally, the tap control for talk through: I don’t hate it, I use it when it’s convenient. It also had some negative reviews from the first version. The Series 2 version seems to work better (compared to the old reviews) just be advised that when you want tap to listen it sounds just like the QC20’s when you turn off the ANR. You can hear clearly, but the sounds might seem amplified/metallic to those not used to it. As far as the old reviews it used to have a problem with the tap control turning on/off during high power settings; I’ve had zero issues with it, it turns on/off when you want it to and that’s it, no inadvertent changes.Overall, the headset is really expensive but it’s a really great headset if you can afford it. After putting several airline trips and 70 some hours on it, I’m happy with it. Bose seems to have taken all of the negative feedback it received and made a large number of improvements with the Series 2.

Very happy with the headset (version 2), and it has improved even more since version 1!I’ve been using the headset in the 757/767 aircraft more recently, and it continues to deliver good ANR protection and audio clarity, just as the version 1 did.Of the improvements made include:-Reworked thinner cable overall, and especially between the control box and plugs.-Cables now are more flexible and don’t kink up as much due to their thinner size-The carrying case has been greatly improved by removing the storage brackets inside. So now the headset can just be stored anyway that the user likes. And with the cables being thinner-the headset no longer tries to spring out of the case.-TapThru ANR selection on the ear buds are now more stable than the version 1. ... MoreVery happy with the headset (version 2), and it has improved even more since version 1!I’ve been using the headset in the 757/767 aircraft more recently, and it continues to deliver good ANR protection and audio clarity, just as the version 1 did.Of the improvements made include:-Reworked thinner cable overall, and especially between the control box and plugs.-Cables now are more flexible and don’t kink up as much due to their thinner size-The carrying case has been greatly improved by removing the storage brackets inside.

I have always loved my Bose A20 (it’s the best!), but have been intrigued with the lightweight earbud style headsets for quite a while. When Bose announced the new Proflight Series 2, I was excited to try it out. After using It for a couple months I am highly satisfied! Especially on long flying days (Airline flying) it’s nice to have a headset that has the high quality noise canceling that Bose is known for and that also doesn’t squeeze your head. It’s very lightweight and durable (I’ve accidently dropped it a couple times in the flight deck and it was totally fine). All around a wonderful piece of equipment and streamlined to fit in my bag easily. The batteries last a very long time and it comes in a very small, yet rugged case.

It comes with various size ear pieces that you can customize to fit in your ear the best.I also have worn it in smaller general aviation aircraft. While using the Proflight 2, I could hear everything in the smaller aircraft, but it is louder so I would recommend the A20 for GA flying because it has stronger noise cancellation for the louder planes. I would highly recommend this Proflight 2 for jet, airline or quieter aircraft flying.Overall a wonderful product. If you’re looking for the best, Bose is hands down the way to go!
I have been flying with Bose aviation headsets for just over the last 5 years. My first Bose headset was the A20...which was truly lightyears ahead of my military-issued David Clark. The A20 was lighter, more comfortable (especially on grueling 24-hour flight duty periods), and you really couldn't beat the noise cancelling feature inside of the uninsulated military flight deck. Fast forward a couple of years now and I have changed airframes to something more "civilianized"...this translates into a much quieter flight deck. This is important because we no longer communicate over an ICS system, but just speak to each other in normal voices while moving a headset or earpiece out of the way. This brings me to the ProFlight Series 2 headset. Initially I was a little ... MoreI have been flying with Bose aviation headsets for just over the last 5 years.

This brings me to the ProFlight Series 2 headset. Initially I was a little skeptical of the earpiece inserts, however they are comfortable (especially if you use something similar with your smartphone) and they really help keep out unwanted ambient noise allowing you to keep the volume turned down. I really like the "stow up" feature, which keeps the unused ear piece out of the way, yet it is also conveniently located when it is needed. The volume controls and Bluetooth connectivity are exactly what you would expect from a Bose product. I also like the storage case because I feel it is adequately protecting your investment while also not being too terribly bulky. It just takes a little practice to efficiently stow the cord...but if you are flying airplanes, chances are you can figure it out.
I was one of the first people to get the Series 1 when it first came out. I was very excited to get it and was utterly disappointed when I did get it.I don't need to go into the issues, but I sent it back and told Bose what the issues where.To Bose's credit, not only did they give me my money back in full, they took on board my comments, along with others in the community and worked tirelessly to solve the issues.On the back of this, I purchased this new Series 2 and to say the least, it is absolutely amazing.The major crux in the previous version was the cable, this issue has been completely resolved, the new cable is thinner, flexible and far more manageable. It does not pull on your shoulder like the other one did and it makes the overall experience far ... MoreI was one of the first people to get the Series 1 when it first came out.

It does not pull on your shoulder like the other one did and it makes the overall experience far better and less frustrating.As well as this there was serious interference connecting the Series 1 via the 5-pin connector to the 777 audio panel, this issue has been resolved, there is zero noise and it makes a massive difference. Finally the noise cancelling itself, is far better than the previous set up. I used to have it on loud on the previous headset, now I can have it on medium, again I am very happy.The only negative I have about the headset is where the cable comes out of the assembly itself, it goes forwards, (ie. over your forward shoulder). I really feel that if the cable went rearwards instead of forwards, it would make the cable less obvious and far easier to push out of the way. With that being said, the fact that the cable is thinner, means it's easier to throw over your shoulder in any situation.So overall, this headset is amazing. If you are sitting on the fence about this, get off it and buy it. I have recently flown a 16 hour Ultra Long Range flight and I wore the headset for every second I was in the seat with zero discomfort.Well done Bose for listening to the Pilots and keep up the good work.
I bought the original ProFlight when it first came out in 2018 and absolutely hated it. I used it for one trip and had to send it back. After a 3-hour flight, it gave me a massive headache. I finally decided to give the Series 2 a go. I'm so glad I did. I've flown 3 days and about 15 hours with it so far. The new cord design is quite improved. I don't feel the pressure or the hot spots anymore. It's extremely lightweight and comfortable. I fly the 737-800 and it's a perfect headset for this jet. I tried the A20s and they were too big and bulky for the Boeing's cockpit. I was previously using the David Clark DCProX, and while a nice headset, the on-ear design did get old after a long day and it didn't block out as much noise. I'm still working with getting the ear ... MoreI bought the original ProFlight when it first came out in 2018 and absolutely hated it. I used it for one trip and had to send it back.

Even after a 6+ hour day, I don't really feel it. I highly recommend this headset for those that fly noisy jets. Thank you, Bose, for redesigning it so that it's useful and practical!
I've been using a Bose headsets in corporate aviation for the past 15+ years, beginning with the Aviation X, then the A20 and finally, the ProFlight Series headset since the late 2017. I've appreciated all of the improvements along the way as Bose makes great Aviation Headsets. I was recently afforded the opportunity to test the ProFlight Series 2 and I can honestly say that the latest changes they've incorporated into the design constitute a nice improvement to an already great headset! The headset is lighter than ever and without a doubt, the incorporation of a lighter and more flexible mic cable has greatly improved the comfort level while seated. The earlier generation ProFlight headset had a tendency to pull to the side of the head and occasionally drop down ... MoreI've been using a Bose headsets in corporate aviation for the past 15+ years, beginning with the Aviation X, then the A20 and finally, the ProFlight Series headset since the late 2017.

The headset is lighter than ever and without a doubt, the incorporation of a lighter and more flexible mic cable has greatly improved the comfort level while seated. The earlier generation ProFlight headset had a tendency to pull to the side of the head and occasionally drop down from time to time, due to the stiffness and added weight of the previous version of the cable, especially when reaching down or across the cockpit to complete routine tasks. With the new design, the headset stays in place throughout the flight and I routinely find myself forgetting it's even there which is a nice feeling on a North Atlantic crossing. The Digital Active Noise Canceling feature works very well as expected and having three User Selectable Modes allows pilots to easily adjust the noise attenuation to their personal preference. I really enjoy using the Bluetooth feature incorporated in the headset, especially when departing non-towered airports requiring an IFR clearance. I can easily monitor the traffic frequencies while obtaining my departure instructions via a landline from the cockpit without having to either hang the headset around my neck or removing it altogether as I used to do with previous generation models. The Tap Control is a great feature, although I have to admit that I generally raise the associated earbud onto the temple pad and lock it in place with the plastic hook for the occasional short conversations with the cabin crew or passengers. Finally, the Boom Mic redesign seems to have improved the ability of the foam mouthpiece to stay in place, especially when storing the unit after a flight, which has also been greatly simplified by the removal of the plastic forms incorporated into the storage case of the older model. I truly enjoy using the Bose ProFlight Series 2 headset and l highly recommend them to anyone considering a replacement headset for jet aircraft flight operations.
I fly 737's for a major US carrier with 3-5 legs per day. I used this headset for a 3-day trip before returning it. The headset is light and comfortable enough; I did have issues with it sliding forwards or backwards. I did not notice any hot-spots. The earpieces don't fit tightly in the ear; the fit allows noise in around the earpiece. I tried the 3 sizes of earpieces and found the large to give the tightest fit but it still allowed noise in. I used the Bose 10 in a prior job and I'm very familiar with it. In the over-the-ear cup, much of the external noise is muffled by the cup so the noise cancelling doesn't have to work very hard. The noise-cancelling in the ProFlight 2 seemed to work much harder - the hum of the noise-cancelling was noticeable and too loud for ... MoreI fly 737's for a major US carrier with 3-5 legs per day.

The noise-cancelling in the ProFlight 2 seemed to work much harder - the hum of the noise-cancelling was noticeable and too loud for me. It was more quiet with the headset on but not as quiet as another in-ear headset I've used previously. My suggestion for Bose is to make ear-pieces that fit tightly. I also hear fellow-pilots wishing for an aviation headset similar to the QC35; one that is lightweight, over-the-ear and TSO certified.
I have had a chance to try out the Bose Proflight Series 2 over 100 hours of line flying. I am currently flying the Embraer 175 and we get a good mix of various flight regimes during low level and high level flight with the regional flying we do. I may also add that I had the chance to try the initial version of the Bose Proflight as well. I must say, Bose has hit the ball out of the park with this Series 2 headset. It is simply perhaps the best high-performance headset I have used in 11 years of flying. The improvements that have been made are apparent and noticeable.The stability of the headset on the head is fantastic and you can barely feel the headband due it being so light.

The improvements that have been made are apparent and noticeable.The stability of the headset on the head is fantastic and you can barely feel the headband due it being so light. The longest flight I had a chance to test it on was 3.8 hours block, and after continuous wearing I had no noticeable hotspots or pressure points. As far as the earbuds go the ANR is fantastic; I don't know how they did it but the amount of noise reduction is impeccable. I also like the fact that it has various modes of ANR that can be tailored to specific operations, as the ANR reduction targets different noise spectrums that vary from aircraft to aircraft. This feature is very useful if one desires to use the headset in more than one aircraft. The tap through feature now works flawlessly. The original Proflight had a tendency for the tap through to activate on TO or landing, however that issue has been fixed with the Series 2 version. It works so conveniently that I now have both earbuds in on pushback, activate the ANR, and tap one ear bud to hear the surroundings until tapping it back into ANR after engine start. A very well thought-out and amazing feature that I now have come to immensely enjoy having. Now onto the cord, it is AMAZING. Bose have gone ahead and completely redone the cord to be extremely mobile and easy to manipulate. Is so thin and light that clipping it and getting it out of the way in the flight deck has become a complete non-issue. The cord is simply now just right. The Bluetooth on the module has been the easiest pairing with the phone I have had with any headset. It is so fast that it pairs within 1 second of flipping the switch on the control module, and away I am making crystal clear calls and/or playing music. The audio quality is outstanding and the module has a switch to control the phone or volume music level. The headset case is super convenient and super easy to get the headset into. Simply putting the headset into the case and wrapping the chord around neatly takes me 5 seconds tops and into the flight bag it goes. I must say the case is super nice and has a convenient pouch for spare batteries and tips.All in all, this might be the last headset I buy for quite a while, or at least for the next 10+ years. Hands down I recommend for you to try it and/or purchase. I certainly won't ever be going back to wearing a regular on-ear headset again. Bose has listened to pilot' s needs and what they want in high performance flight decks; the Proflight Series 2 headset is the proof of that effort.
