CAUTIONS AND ADVISORIES

How use of the headset affects hearing safety

The headset is intended for use with ANR turned on. Noise reduction and communications performance are reduced with ANR turned off.

Volume control

Make sure your aircraft communications system volume control is easily accessible. This control affects the strength of the communi- cations signal coming into the headset, whether ANR is on or off.

As pilot in command, you must be sure you can understand critical communications even with ANR off. In this case, you may need to turn up the aircraft communications system volume.

Avoid setting the volume controls at levels high enough to impair your hearing during extended periods of headset use.

Listening to the sounds of your aircraft

With the headset’s active and passive noise reduction, typical aircraft sounds (from engines, propellers, warning alarms, and other sound sources) may not sound familiar. We strongly advise you to make sure you can hear and recognize these sounds when using the Bose® Aviation Headset while operating any aircraft.

Using entertainment audio sources

When listening to in-flight entertainment or a home audion source through a Bose Aviation Headset , be sure to limit the volume to safe levels that do not interfere with your ability to hear informational sounds and warning alarms, such as stall warnings or gear up, while piloting.

Other cautions

TriPort® headset earcup requirements

Proper headset operation requires that the TriPort headset openings on the earcup are kept free of debris. The TriPort headset openings (Figure 2 on page 5) are located on the outside of each earcup and are comprised of two holes and a screen.

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.
