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!!
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.
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.
I bought the original, in was just shy of horrible. I flew 4 days with this new headset and my biggest complaint is I was continuously adjusting the ear pieces to get the sound quality that I would expect from Bose.
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.
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!
I am using the Bose ProFlight Series 2 Aviation Headset with great happiness for a few months now, I like the in ear feature and it wears light with no pressure felt after prolonged period have it on.
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.
