Key Takeaways:

  • A key question for the Bose ProFlight Series 2 aviation headset is its effectiveness in noisy piston aircraft cabins versus quieter turbine aircraft.
  • Although Bose suggests the headset might perform well in both environments, users are advised to test it in their specific aircraft before purchase.
  • This discussion serves as a follow-up to a full flight trial and includes insights from a demo at Sun 'n Fun 2025.

The Bose ProFlight Series 2 in-ear aviation headset has been out for a few years but buyers still don’t know if they can work in piston cabins or if they are limited to quiet turbine-powered aircraft. Bose says they might work well in both, but we think you need to try them in your bird first. As a follow-up to the full flight trial in the January 2025 issue of Aviation Consumer magazine, Larry Anglisano stopped by the Bose exhibit at Sun ‘n Fun 2025 in Florida for a demo with Bose Aviation’s Chris Wuerlf.
