On/Off switch on (a) the battery powered headset and (b) the aircraft powered headset

The Bose® Aviation Headset is an active noise reducing (ANR) headset. As with any complex electronic device, it is possible for this headset to fail during operation. Symptoms of failure may include loud tones, distortion, and loss of communications signal in the headset when used in the ANR mode.

Note: The headset includes redundant circuitry to reduce the effects of such failures and allow for continued use of the headset in the ANR mode.

If you experience loud tones and the related loss of communications, turn off the power switch. The headset will continue to provide com- munications in the passive noise-reducing mode.

ANR mode is active when the headset control module power switch is set to ON (Figure 1) or when the battery power indicator is lit. The headset is in the passive mode when the power switch is set to OFF, or when the battery power indicator is unlit.

Your headset is one of two types: battery powered, or aircraft powered.

If your headset is battery powered, make sure it is connected only to battery power. If your headset is aircraft powered, connect the head- set to the aircraft power sources only as described in this guide.

An aircraft powered headset will not operate properly if used with a Bose Series II Aviation Headset battery pack or with any commercial battery pack.

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.
