Features

  • Significantly improved noise reduction across a wider range of frequencies. Proprietary Bose innovations now use microphones both inside and outside each earcup to sense and reduce more ambient aircraft noise.
  • Redesigned ear cushions deliver greater comfort using new materials. More compact earcups now have a larger interior cavity, allowing more room for the ears; redistribution of headset weight also helps improve overall comfort and stability.
  • Enhanced center torsion spring on magnesium headband provides a consistent, comfortable fit for any size head with significantly less clamping force than most pilot headsets.
  • TriPort® acoustic headset structure, available only from Bose, produces tonally balanced audio from relatively small and lightweight headphones.
  • Active equalization electronically tunes the headphones' frequency response, enabling outstanding audio performance.
  • Adjustable powered microphone can be connected to either earcup and set in a range of stable positions for optimal communications.
  • Auxiliary audio input on redesigned control module for connection to GPS and other devices. Pushbutton Intercom/AUX enables priority switching
  • Bluetooth phone connectivity lets you take calls wirelessly through the headset.

Reviews

Ive had this headset for 5 years now so I feel confident saying......why did I wait so long! These things do everything to make communications clear and easy to understand. The bonus is using them to watch movies using the Bluetooth while riding in the back on the way home. Buy them...you wont regret it!

I wish I had bought these years ago. Been using a competitor but needed new headsets for the rear seats, so thats where those will go. In direct comparison, the A20 has a longer mic that reaches to front of your mouth, has a heavier duty cable, two clips to clip it out of the way, no fuss bluetooth connection, way better ANR without annoying occasional pressure waves, the control just feels right in your hand, and way easier to store away in the zip case.

Best ANR headset on the market. However, the Passive mode (ANR turned off) is not as good as my David Clarks.

Used to wear a DC 10-13.4, DC X11 and tried the DC pro-x. None can compare to the Bose. Really had to try it to believe it. If you can rationalize the cost in any way, you won't regret it. Comfortable, amazing noise cancelling and sound quality (to be expected from Bose) Won't wear anything else now.

PBought this product to replace my aging Bose X. Bose X needed an upgrade because, after 2 years of use (at 2-4 flight hours per day, commercial flying) it started to develop a warbling noise in the left ear cup followed by the system ANR turning off a few seconds later. /p pThe new A20 worked A-OK until I noticed a strange squeaky sound in the left ear cup every time I removed the headset or moved the left ear cup away from my ear. Although, in general, A20 is much quiter then Bose X and Zulu 2.0, this squeak seems like an annoying underengineering, especially for such price. 4 out of 5, overall./p
