Bose ProFlight Series 2 ANR Aviation Headset 5 Pin XLR Flex Power with Bluetooth 789812-5070

How much does the Bose ProFlight Series 2 weigh, and who is it built for?

At just 4.5 ounces, the ProFlight Series 2 is among the lightest and most compact aviation ANR headsets available. It is built for professional pilots in commercial, corporate, and specialized operations who need clear communication and customizable quiet during long flights in demanding professional cockpits where comfort and low weight matter most.

Is the ProFlight Series 2 an in-ear or an over-ear headset?

The ProFlight Series 2 uses an in-ear design rather than a traditional over-ear style, which is a key reason it reaches its very light 4.5 ounce weight. The compact in-ear approach helps keep pressure low and supports long, comfortable wear across extended professional flights where a bulky over-ear headset can feel heavy over time.

Does ear tip fit affect comfort and performance?

Yes. Because this is an in-ear headset, getting a snug, comfortable seal with the right size ear tip matters for both comfort and consistent audio performance. Choosing the tip that fits your ear best helps the headset stay secure and perform as intended throughout a flight. Refer to the Bose documentation for the included ear tip options.

Can I wear eyeglasses or sunglasses comfortably with this headset?

Because the ProFlight Series 2 is a light in-ear design rather than a bulky over-ear headset, it places little pressure on the sides of your head. Many professional pilots find it easier to wear glasses or sunglasses for long periods compared with heavier over-ear models, since the slim design reduces the pressure points that frames can create.

How many noise cancellation modes does it have, and how does the microphone work?

It offers three levels of digital active noise reduction, so you can choose lighter attenuation for ground operations or stronger quiet in flight. A tap control enables talk through communication with crew or passengers without removing the headset. The electret noise canceling microphone delivers clear transmissions and works well with hot mic or push to talk intercom systems.

What devices and functions does the Bluetooth support?

This is a full function Bluetooth aviation headset. It connects wirelessly to phones, tablets, and Electronic Flight Bags so you can take calls, hear alerts, or listen to audio. Intelligent audio prioritization keeps intercom and radio communications front and center, mixing in Bluetooth audio without letting it override critical cockpit transmissions, which supports both hot mic and push to talk setups.

Can I connect a wired audio device, or only Bluetooth?

In addition to its full function Bluetooth, the ProFlight Series 2 lists an auxiliary audio input among its specifications, so you can bring in audio through a wired connection as well. This gives you flexibility to listen to navigation alerts, music, or other audio from devices you prefer to connect with a cable rather than wirelessly during a flight.

What is the 5 Pin XLR Flex Power connector, and is the headset powered by the aircraft?

This is the Aircraft Power XLR plug version of the ProFlight Series 2, using a flexible 5 pin XLR connection common in jet and turbine installations. The flexible cable design supports easy cockpit movement. This configuration is wired to draw power through the aircraft panel, and the product also lists AA battery support among its power options.

How long does the battery last, and what batteries does it use?

The ProFlight Series 2 is rated for up to about 45 hours of use on two AA batteries, and it includes an automatic shutoff feature that helps conserve power when the headset is left on. Using Bluetooth continuously can reduce the runtime, so keeping spare AA batteries on hand is a practical habit for longer flights.

Should I choose the ProFlight Series 2 or the Bose A20 for my aircraft?

The ProFlight Series 2 is built for professional pilots in commercial, corporate, and specialized turbine and pressurized cockpits with low to moderate noise. The over-ear Bose A20 is generally directed at louder piston aircraft. Match the headset to your typical flying environment, and consult Bose guidance if you regularly operate higher noise aircraft.

Is the Bose ProFlight Series 2 FAA certified, and what warranty applies?

Yes. This headset carries FAA compliant TSO certification, which makes it suitable for commercial and professional flight operations. It is also backed by a five year warranty. For exact certification scope and warranty terms, refer to the official Bose documentation included with the headset.
