Unbeatable Performance & Comfort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 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 chord, it is AMAZING. Bose have gone ahead and completely redone the chord 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 chord 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.

Battery Case wiring failure

Length of ownership:1 month
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product about a month ago and have used it primarily on longer flights. I use a regular Bose headsets on my short flights. I have had the opportunity to enjoy using the product but have noticed the black cable from the headset into the battery case has come apart. I hope that this is a unique scenario and that Bose will repair without dispute.

A very good choice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 waiting on the ground for the passengers you can use the Bluetooth connection to listen to music. It will stop if someone is talking via the intercom. So it is safe es well. The ANR works extremely well. When the engines are running in Ground Idle it is so quiet that you sometimes doubt they are running at all.
The new cable also helps a lot. 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.

Sound quality second to none! Comfortable, too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own many Bose products and am a loyal fan! I have owned the Aviation X for years, and had been hoping and waiting for this product! The sound quality is excellent, as I knew it would be, and the comfort level is great. I have worn the headset for over 150 hours of flying in the Airbus 320 so far. My plane is already quite quiet, but once I turn on the ANR, it’s another level – in fact, the "high" setting of the ANR is sometimes too effective! I’m still adjusting to how to wear the headband, as it tends to slide on my hair, especially when I look up at the overhead panel, but it is comfortable. The battery life has been excellent! I am looking forward to many years of use. There is no doubt in my mind that my hearing will be better preserved with the Bose ProFlight Series 2!

Bose Doesn’t Get It

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bose doesn’t get what the professional pilot wants. UflyMike does. I still have a qc15, with removable uflymike microphone. Very comfortable headset combo, with great performance. It packs up conveniently, and I can obviously remove the mic to listen to music (or block out sound) when I don’t need to use it for flight duties. Placing earpieces in your ear like the pro flight series 2, or carrying around their larger over ear aviation headset is inconvenient for most professional pilots. Rather come out with a compact system like my qc15/uflymike. There’s a reason thousands upon thousands of professional pilots have purchased the same combo.

Prob good for corp jets and low noise. NOT good for GA pilots in prop aircraft (Cirrus, Cessna 206 etc) and no volume control (bad when your panel controls Pilot and Passenger combined). Too bad would have been awesome.
