Overall Good, But...

Have to start by saying that I haven't flown with an over the top headset or ANR in my 30 years of flying. That said, they are good. ANR seems to be very good. Sound is also very good. My main issue is with pressure points. There three points where the headset makes contact with you. I find myself adjusting it frequently. The other pressure points are in the ears. The ear buds are oval in shape which I believe is the cause of my hot-spots. I'm constantly adjusting them in my ears. To be up front, I've been flying with an earbud heads for about 13 yaers without this problem. The last issue I have is with the battery life. They don't last very long if you don't have the ship powered headset.

Such a great headset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been an aviation Bose user for a long time. Starting with the Bose X to A20 to the first version of the ProFlight and now Proflight 2.0. I could only stand the original Proflight for about an hour as the huge cord constantly pulled and the headset off my head. But with the thinner and lighter cord of version 2.0 it’s so much better. Great not having huge cups covering my hears, plus being able to wear sunglasses without any pressure. Bose thanks for updating and refining, have always loved your products and customer support/service.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been a Bose Aviation headset user for a number of years now and couldn’t be happier with the ProFlight Series 2! The A20 was perfect for my days in the King Air but found them to be a little cumbersome while in the quieter environment of a jet’s flightdeck. The PFS2 is lighter than the first installment and the cord is much more flexible, permitting easy adjustment. I also found that wearing sunglasses with over-ear headsets became awkward and painful after a few hours. I give the Bose ProFlight Series 2 5 stars!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried my colleague's headset. I couldn't have imagined that it's a gift to have such a great innovation. For the first time I heard superb sound . I don't have to ask say again. Thank you bose.

Complete game changer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The functionality and ergonomics of the ProFlight 2 place it in a class by itself. As a military pilot I always used to get hot spots or other head pain during long missions. Additionally I had to either fly with one ear cup off or use a single sided headset to talk cross cockpit off interphone. With the ProFlight 2 I can fly without pain and get the protection of noise cancelling without sacrificing CRM.

Good. Maybe good enough.

I fly the Boeing 737; the NG and the Max series. It is a loud cockpit. I’ve used these headsets for two weeks and have worn them for about 40 hrs of flying. The noise attenuation/cancelling level is slightly below that of the Clarity Aloft headset. But the microphone and the sound quality are infinitely better in the Bose. It’s fairly comfortable, the ear pieces do hurt my ear after prolonged use but maybe that’s something to which I’ll get accustomed. The headset quality seems fantastic. My only criticism is that I wish for it to have more noise attenuation/cancelling but this may only be an issue/concern for those flying in loud airplanes such as the B737.

Nice Improvements to an already great headset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 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.

Much Improved Over The Original

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 pieces to fit just right, but so far so good. The sound quality amazing. The mike is excellent. And, as stated above, it's a very comfortable headset. 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!
