QUALITY/SERVICE FAQ
The Bose ProFlight Series 2 seems
very light, but that must mean it is
not durable. Can it withstand the
rigors of aviation?
The ProFlight Series 2 has been designed as a total system. It delivers
breakthrough performance and withstands the rigors of aviation use.
High-performance engineering materials were used in the design, carefully
chosen for function and durability. The headset has been tested to FAA
requirements for headsets and is certified for manufacture under TSO C139a
approval. It also has been tested to meet some additional requirements based
on our experience designing headsets for the military. The cables were designed
and tested to exceed the TSO-required 25,000-cycle flex life.
Note that the headset is not intended for use as part of a crash protection
system and has not been certified for crash protection. Dismantling,
reassembly or modification of the headset, or any part, for use in a helmet
or other crash protection system could result in severe bodily injury and
such unauthorized use will void the limited product warranty.
How can I determine if I have
the original ProFlight Aviation
Headset or ProFlight Series 2?
For the headset assembly, remove the right headband pad and provide
the serial number underneath it to customer service. For the cables,
turn on the headset, turn on tap control and tap an earbud while
observing the control module LEDs. If the LEDs blink in unison with
tapping, it is a ProFlight Series 2 cable. The original cables will not
blink in conjunction with tapping.
