An unmatched combination of comfort, noise reduction and clearer audio The
Bose Aviation Headset X has set the standard for business and general
aviation headsets for years. It offers excellent full-spectrum noise
reduction, but with far less clamping forcethan most conventional
headsets. It is quiet, light, and comfortable. Period.
The new version of this headset maintains the same standard of quality, but with some major improvements:
AdaptiSense™ technology doubles the battery life--now up to 40 hours on just two AA batteries
Smart automatic shutoff senses when you've stopped using the headset, saving battery life
New ergonomic control module is 30% smaller and includes a real-time power status indicator
Redesigned boom mic offers increased durability and more precise placement
The Bose Aviation Headset X marks a departure from
conventional thinking. Standard technology often achieves noise
reduction by creating a tighter seal against your head using higher
pressure. Or, larger earcups are used to hold more insulation–which
only increases weight. Either way, comfort is sacrificed.
This stereo headset is engineered differently, to work as a
system that improves both noise reduction and comfort. That’s because
Bose’s proprietary TriPort™ headset technology is a breakthrough in
active noise reduction. Significant advances in acoustic,
electronic and ergonomic technologies are part of the Bose system
design approach that helps make this headset so effective in reducing
noise. In short, better active noise canceling technology allows for
more comfortable headsets. You know the Bose name—it’s synonymous with
audio quality. Take this reputation into the cockpit with the Aviation
Headset X.
Battery powered headset uses two AA batteries (included) that
lasts for approximately 40 hours of continuous operation. Includes
deluxe carrying case and owner's manual. Five year warranty.
Features:
Small Size gives you more room in the cockpit
Low weight (12 oz.) makes for the most comfortable headset around
Unique protein leather foam earseals provide a soft, consistent fit-even with glasses
Torsion spring creates a consistent fit without the "vise clamp" feeling
Over 95% intelligibility score at 115 db
Dual volume controls, stereo/mono switch and LED power status indicator

Pros
Great sound and feel, perfect for longer flights. Does what it says, and does it well!
Cons
Microphone construction seems a bit flimsy but not a problem yet, and if it is I am sure Boes product support will be able to help me (from experiences with other Boes products in the past).

Best aviation buy thus far!

Pros
The ANG is amazing and the comfort level is better than I expected. Every transmission is crystal clear and mic is sensitive enough to pick up my low and quiet voice no problem but doesn't pick up any of the ambient noise.
Cons
No problems so far besides the large dent still left in my pocket.
General Comments
As long as you can afford this headset it is the way to go. This is my first headset but I'm glad I spent the extra money and went all out for the Bose.

General Comments
This is by far the most comfortable headset I've ever owned. I'm a USAF C-130 mechanic, and we receive David Clark headsets, which are good but not very comfortable after a few hours of wear. The Bose is light, it doesn't compress your head as much, and the noise cancellation is like instantly stepping in to a sound- proof chamber. It is sleek and low profile, not like other bulky headsets. Best headset, hands down!

I was very bad in communication and it was a big issue during my instrument rating lessons.
I should say that I'm French speaking.
After moving to the Bose headset X, I understand what was part of my communication problem...
The headset...
I did not hear the controller very well so I did not understand very well what he was saying.
Now, the difference is unbelievable and I will do my check ride soon.
Thank you "Bose"
