Lighter A20

I tried the A30 at sun and fun and really liked it. It reminded me of a headset I liked but was no longer made. After using it for the last several flights (about 50 hrs), for the plane I fly (unpressurized turbo-prop) it is no better than the A20. The A30 has better high velocity wind noise reduction, but overall noise has a lot of background noise. It is almost like a white noise. The background noise makes it hard to hear communications on the radio. The A30 is light weight and has a good length line for plugging in. Blue tooth is good. out of aircraft sound is great.
Response from bose.comBy Nelson Penney, Customer Service, September 22, 2023
Thanks for your review. The Bose A30 Aviation Headset has multiple built-in equalization circuits. The primary ICS/radio communications path is designed to meet the latest TSO standard and to optimize voice intelligibility. An additional active EQ helps optimize the experience through the secondary (Bluetooth) audio path for wireless audio sources.
The A30 Aviation Headset is the evolution of the A20. Its sleek, modern design significantly improves long-term comfort with a lower on-head weight and reduced clamping force. It also features three modes of active noise reduction and tap control for talk-through communication.
The A30 upholds the acclaimed noise reduction and state-of-the-art materials and electronic capabilities of the A20. Each of these advancements helped create the best combination of noise reduction and audio clarity on the market.

Ive been using these for about 3months and love them. I had the Lightspeed Zulu's prior and after an hour they squeezed my head and gave me a headache. I tried the A2's but didn't like the pressure they put on the top of my head. These are very comfortable, no top pressure and sound great!

I have used the headset for a couple of months and am happy with it. I don't see it to be noticeably better than the A20 that I have had for a long time. The storage case of the A30 is not as good as the one for the A20.

Great product but when I received my second one only a few weeks from my first purchase it did not have the rubber frame included. My wife loves her headset but wonders why she does not have a frame.

I have now had the A30's for almost 3 months and I have really enjoyed them. I have flown with them in a Phenom 300, G450 and helicopters. They have worked amazingly well in all.

I bought my Bose headset a few months ago. Overall, I am pleased however, it goes through batteries very very rapidly.

Buttons quality is bad, they seem weaker than A20s.
