Differences Between BOSE Flight Headset Connector Types
At Sky Fox you’ll find a wide range of BOSE Aviation pilot headsets and connector types. The main differences lie in the connectors used, optimized for various aircraft types and cockpit requirements.
The BOSE A30 Aviation Headset with PJ connectors (GA/Dual Plug) uses two separate plugs—one for audio (phones) and one for the microphone. This connection is ideal for general aviation and training aircraft and is powered by batteries (2×AA).
The BOSE A30 Aviation Headset with LEMO connector (6-pin) is a six-pin round connector with panel power—no batteries required. This type is common in modern aircraft (e.g., Cirrus, Beechcraft).
With the BOSE A30 Aviation Headset with XLR-5 connector you get a five-pin connection that carries audio and (depending on installation) power over one cable. XLR-5 is widely used in airliner and business-jet cockpits (e.g., Airbus, ATR).
The BOSE A30 Aviation Headset with U-174 connector is a single-pin round connector designed for helicopters and rotorcraft intercoms. Phone and mic share the same connector; power is supplied via batteries (2×AA).

TSO Certification of the BOSE Aviation Headset
Certification refers to official approval under strict international aviation standards such as FAA TSO (U.S.) and EASA ETSO (Europe). TSO stands for “Technical Standard Order,” a minimum performance standard set by the FAA for materials, parts, and equipment in civil aircraft.
Products like our BOSE aviation headsets that meet these standards have passed numerous tests—for durability, electrical safety, extreme temperatures, and cockpit operability. You can rely on BOSE aviation headsets being proven robust, long-lasting, and safe for professional use. BOSE tests beyond minimum requirements, making them the perfect choice for professionals and demanding private pilots.
Further Questions About Our BOSE Aviation Headsets
Is there a difference between Bose pilot headsets and regular headphones?
Yes. Bose pilot headsets are purpose-built for aviation: they enable clear communication in noisy environments, protect hearing from engine noise, and connect directly to the aircraft’s communication system.
What noise-cancelling technology do BOSE headsets use?
All current Bose headsets offer three individually adjustable noise-cancelling modes, so you can tailor attenuation to your cockpit environment and personal preference.
Can the microphone and cable be swapped without tools?
Yes. On the latest models (A30, ProFlight Series 2) the mic and cable can be quickly swapped to either side without tools— ideal for different cockpit layouts and personal preferences.
Is there a warranty on BOSE headsets?
Yes. BOSE products generally include a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
