USING YOUR HEADSET

Wearing it properly

Figure 16

Matching the R and L markings to your right and left ears

Proper fit on your head is important both for comfort and good noise reduction performance. Here are a few guidelines:

•Use the left (L) and right (R) markings above the earcups to orient the headset properly (Figure 16).

•Use a light grasp to adjust each earcup so its cushion is com- pletely over your ear and you feel an even, gentle pressure all around it.

•Adjust the headband so it rests gently on top of your head.

Make your final adjustments in a noisy environment and with the power switch set to ON.

Conditions related to fit

A low rumbling sound or frequent brief losses of active noise reduc- tion (ANR) may indicate an improper fit or blocked earcup ports. Refer to “Headset Care and Maintenance” on page 25 for instruc- tions on how to deal with a blockage.

In very loud conditions, such as during takeoff, you may experience brief reductions in ANR as the headset compensates for a momen- tary pressure change. If this problem continues when the sound level returns to normal, however, refer to “In case of difficulty” on page 30. If the problem persists, contact the Bose® Aviation Headset Depart- ment for assistance.

During a long flight, you may feel a slight pressure point, which can be relieved by adjusting the headband position.

Your experience with using the headset will help establish a sense of how it should sound and feel.

X specifications

Bose X is a premium series of aviation headsets designed specifically for pilots and aviation enthusiasts who demand high-performance audio while flying. Renowned for its exceptional noise cancellation, the Bose X stands out in the realm of aviation communication, providing a crucial advantage in noisy cockpit environments.

One of the most remarkable features of the Bose X is its Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology. This innovative system uses microphones both inside and outside of the earcups to detect and counteract ambient noise, resulting in a remarkably quiet listening experience. This feature is especially beneficial during flights where engine noise can be overwhelming, allowing pilots to focus on critical communication and navigation tasks without distractions.

The Bose X is equipped with proprietary TriPort speaker technology, which delivers unparalleled sound quality. This technology allows for a balanced audio experience, ensuring clear communication from both the aircraft’s avionics and any external devices. The headset also features a flexible boom microphone that offers excellent noise rejection, ensuring that the pilot's voice is transmitted clearly without picking up background noise.

Comfort is a key characteristic of the Bose X headset. The ear cushions are designed with soft, pressure-relieving material that contours to the wearer's ears, allowing for extended usage without discomfort. The lightweight design further enhances comfort, as it minimizes fatigue during long flights.

In addition to its primary features, the Bose X also includes user-friendly controls. The intuitive volume control allows pilots to adjust audio levels seamlessly without diverting attention from flying. There are also connections for Bluetooth-enabled devices, which enable pilots to enjoy music or communicate with co-pilots wirelessly.

Durability and reliability are paramount in aviation gear, and the Bose X does not disappoint. It is built with high-quality materials that can withstand the rigors of aviation environments. The headset also includes a detachable cable, making it easy to replace or upgrade as needed.

Overall, the Bose X delivers an exceptional combination of advanced technology, comfort, and durability, making it a preferred choice for many aviation professionals. Whether in small aircraft or large jets, the Bose X enhances the flying experience, facilitating clear communication and unparalleled audio quality in the skies.
