and tap control for talk-through communication.
The A30 upholds the acclaimed noise reduction and state-of-the-art materials
and electronic capabilities of the A20. Each of these advancements helped
create the best combination of noise reduction and audio clarity on the market.

How does the A30 headset compare to the A20 in terms of noise
reduction?

- The A30 provides similar total noise reduction to the A20, but with a different
weight distribution and substantially lower clamping force.

Can the Bose A30 Aviation Headset be used in all types of aircraft?

- Yes. The A30 is optimized for use in general, military and commercial aviation
aircraft. It can be used in both fixed-wing aircraft and in helicopters. It can be
purchased with different connection options, including Dual G/A, 6 pin LEMO and
5 pin XLR. The A30 is not recommended for open-cockpit aircraft where the
headset is in the direct path of the wind and slipstream.
