Overall, the Bose A30 Aviation Headset is one of the smallest, lowest-clamping and lightest around-ear active noise cancelling headsets on the market—it’s a balance of function and comfort without sacrificing stability.

The headset’s angled earcups follow the contours of pilots’ heads, and the intentional shape of the headband pads helps achieve the highest level of comfort in the lowest possible on-head weight. Additionally, the A30 has distinct left and right earcups with a quick release and a side-swappable mic for improved comfort and ergonomics.
