Aviation Headset X®

* Full-spectrum noise reduction, clearer audio, lightweight fit
* 50% less clamping force than most pilot headsets with active noise reduction
* At least 40 hours of performance from just two AA alkaline batteries
* Portable cables or installation harness included

Bose pioneered active noise reducing headsets nearly 20 years ago, and pilots continue to prefer the Bose Aviation Headset X today. For seven years in a row, it's been rated #1 in Professional Pilot's annual survey, claiming 2007's top honors for comfort, clarity and technical advancement.

A rare combination of benefits distinguish Aviation Headset X from all other pilot headsets. Proprietary Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headset technology dramatically reduces the engine roar you hear in the cockpit. Small microphones in each earcup monitor ambient sound. Electronic circuitry identifies unwanted noise and creates an opposite signal to reduce it.

This advanced noise reduction technology combines with proprietary TriPort® acoustic headset structure and active equalization to provide quality audio from lightweight, compact earcups. A lighter and more compact headset structure allows Aviation Headset X to require 50% less clamping force than most noise reduction headsets.

The solid magnesium headband is also extremely lightweight, yet durable. A sheepskin cushion eliminates hot spots, and soft ear cushions provide an effective seal, even over glasses. You enjoy acclaimed Bose noise reduction in a comfortable headset weighing only 12 ounces.

Long battery life, smart controls

Proprietary AdaptiSense® headset circuitry delivers at least 40 hours of headset use from two AA alkaline batteries. It automatically adjusts voltage to maximize battery life and includes smart shutoff. An ergonomic control module puts this technology within easy reach.
