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!

Massive improvement on the Series 1

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was one of the first people to get the Series 1 when it first came out. I was very excited to get it and was utterly disappointed when I did get it.
I don't need to go into the issues, but I sent it back and told Bose what the issues where.
To Bose's credit, not only did they give me my money back in full, they took on board my comments, along with others in the community and worked tirelessly to solve the issues.

On the back of this, I purchased this new Series 2 and to say the least, it is absolutely amazing.
The major crux in the previous version was the cable, this issue has been completely resolved, the new cable is thinner, flexible and far more manageable. It does not pull on your shoulder like the other one did and it makes the overall experience far better and less frustrating.
As well as this there was serious interference connecting the Series 1 via the 5-pin connector to the 777 audio panel, this issue has been resolved, there is zero noise and it makes a massive difference. Finally the noise cancelling itself, is far better than the previous set up. I used to have it on loud on the previous headset, now I can have it on medium, again I am very happy.

The only negative I have about the headset is where the cable comes out of the assembly itself, it goes forwards, (ie. over your forward shoulder). I really feel that if the cable went rearwards instead of forwards, it would make the cable less obvious and far easier to push out of the way. With that being said, the fact that the cable is thinner, means it's easier to throw over your shoulder in any situation.
So overall, this headset is amazing. If you are sitting on the fence about this, get off it and buy it. I have recently flown a 16 hour Ultra Long Range flight and I wore the headset for every second I was in the seat with zero discomfort.
Well done Bose for listening to the Pilots and keep up the good work.

Excellent Headset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a 787 first officer for a major US airline. I previously had the Bose Pro Flight 1 headsets. I really loved the headset but the cord was a little heavy and cumbersome. The new cord on the series 2 is much lighter, and much less cumbersome.
Some of the other features about the series 2 that I fell in love with is the excellent quality of the noise canceling, the overall comfort of the headset and the weight. The Pro Flight 2 is extremely light weight and feels great on my head for those long flights.
I highly recommend the Pro Flight 2 headset. This headset exceeds my expectations in every way possible!

Light weight & comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pro flight 2 is light weight, comfortable and perfect to use to long flights. I have been using the headset in a Hawker 900XP for approx 2 months now. The sound quality is great & the noise cancelling is excellent, with the ability to double tap an ear piece to turn of noise cancelling on one ear piece being particularly useful. Changing the mic from left side to right side is a little finicky if swapping seats and the mic arm is slightly in the peripheral which can be annoying at first but I quickly adjusted. Overall the product seems well made and durable, I would recommend it to a friend.

Yet another excellent Bose Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a pilot I have flown with other Bose Aviation headsets before. The ProFlight Series 2 is yet another excellent product from the aviation headset range of Bose. A true delight to wear during my flights on the B737. Great Active Noise Reduction as you would expect from Bose that will reduce the noise that is commonly annoying on jet aircraft. Low weight so during long working days the comfort is great, I hardly even notice it when I am wearing it. The Tab control allows you to “open” the earpiece to enable conversation with other crewmembers that are not on the intercom system without removing your headset. The Bluetooth connection allows quick and clear connection to your mobile phone for communication with dispatch or maintenance even when in high noise environments, and even without the headset being plugged in to the aircraft. All-in-all an excellent headset for every pilot flying jet aircraft.

Best headset for the professional pilot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Proflight 2 for some time now and its a much needed improvement over the series 1. Tap-control works flawlessly now and the more durable microphone makes placement great when switching sides. As far as the sound, its very crisp and clear with ATC, intercom, and music/phone calls over bluetooth. I have found that the ANR is best on medium and sometimes I forget to turn it on. The lightness on the head makes flying long haul trips a breeze and no headaches from heavy cramping that other headsets have especially with glasses/sunglasses. The thinner cable is more flexible, doesn't get in the way, and makes for easier stowing in the carrying case. I have used the PF2 worldwide and this is definitely my favorite and go to headset and will be used for many years to come.

Great improvement from the first ProFlight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried the ProFlight for the last few months.
I fly a 737NG and love how it fits into the flight deck and supports my goal of reducing fatiguing noise while reducing weight on my head.
Only issue I run into is a hot spot on one ear but that is alleviated if I slightly move the earbud.
Great new lighter cord and carrying loop on the case as well.

Great product. Highly recommend for anyone who wants light but protective from the noises in the flight deck.
