Both the Installed and Portable Versions

Enjoy full-spectrum noise reduction, comfortable fit and clear sound quality when you fly with the Bose® Aviation Headset X. Thanks to proprietary TriPort® headset technology, this unique combination of benefits is available in one lightweight headset. The redesigned control module offers greater usability, making the #1 headset choice of many pilots and military personnel even better.

Bose Technology Makes the Difference

Most active noise reduction headsets require large earcups and considerable headband force to muffle aircraft noise. Through 25 years of research we've developed a better solution—TriPort headset technology. This patented innovation enables a smaller, more comfortable headset that delivers full-spectrum noise reduction.

Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headset technology contributes to this high level of noise reduction. It monitors sound at the ear, identifies unwanted noise and creates an out-of-phase signal to reduce it. Our active equalization circuitry also delivers clean, full sound that improves the intelligibility of radio and intercom audio. In fact, U.S. Air Force tests with Bose headsets achieved intelligibility scores of 95% at 115db, compared to 80% for conventional headsets.
At Bose, a Comfortable Fit Is Mission Critical

Whether you're a general aviator or a helicopter pilot, comfort counts. That's why we designed the Headset X with 50% less clamping force than most active noise reduction headsets. The solid magnesium headband is extremely lightweight yet durable. The sheepskin cushion eliminates hot spots, and the soft, padded ear cushions provide an effective seal—even over glasses. The result is superior noise reduction in a comfortable headset that weighs only 12 ounces.

Longer, Smarter Battery Life

Proprietary AdaptiSense™ headset technology gives you up to 40 hours from just two AA batteries. It supplies power only as needed, detects when you've stopped wearing the headset and automatically shuts off the active electronics. Plus, the new tri-color indicator provides real-time battery status.

Focus on Your Flight, Not Your Headset Controls

The redesigned control module is 30% smaller than the previous version and even easier to use. Its slim design puts all functions—including dual thumbwheel volume controls—within easy reach. And improved boom microphone design enables smoother, more precise adjustments.

You can experience the full-spectrum noise reduction, comfort and clear sound quality of the Aviation Headset X with an installed or portable version. Choose the configuration that best fits your flight needs.
