COMFORT FAQ
How comfortable is the
Bose ProFlight Series 2?
The ProFlight Series 2 achieves the highest level of comfort through
thoughtful placement and shape of the side pads, the choice of materials,
the low overall on-head weight and clamping force, and an exclusive
silicone eartip design that allows for long term comfort without
sacrificing stability. Additionally, the ProFlight Series 2 has distinct left
and right eartips with a quick-release, side-swappable microphone and
cable for improved comfort and ergonomics.
What makes the ProFlight Series 2
so comfortable?
Overall, the ProFlight Series 2 is one of the smallest and lightest active
noise cancelling aviation headsets on the market. Its weight and size is
a balance of function, comfort and excellent stability. The three sizes of
the patented silicone eartips, which sit comfortably in the bowl of the
ear, contribute to greater comfort.
What is the weight of the headset
without cables?
The headset only weighs 3 ounces (85.2 grams), while the headset and half of
the upper cable with the boom mic weighs 4.5 ounces (128 grams).
I see Bose now advertises the availability
of custom molded ear tips for ProFlight
Series 2. Why are these being oered?
Bose is focused on ensuring all customers enjoy superior comfort and audio
quality when using our products. The ProFlight StayHear+ ear tips provide a
comfortable fit which will satisfy most customers. We realize that it is not
possible to accommodate every ear shape due to the wide variety of
physiological dierences and personal preferences. To this end, Bose is
working with a small group of approved partners who can provide
custom-molded ear tips to those customers who wish to personalize their
headset with custom-fit tips.
Custom molded ear tips can oer some benefits, such as slightly improved
stability in the ear, and possibly a better acoustic seal for those users who find
our standard tips unsuitable. These advantages may be oset by being more
dicult to insert and remove and may not end up as being as comfortable as
the standard tips for longer term use. These factors are ultimately a user
choice, and Bose feels that making more options available for user fit and
personalization is better for our customers.
Please contact Bose for a list of the latest approved partners for custom
molded ear tips.
What material are the earbuds made of? Soft silicone.
Are there tests for the earbuds for ear
health safety and long-term use? Are
there any tests regarding skin reactions
or test certificates?
Bose does extensive tests to assure that the products we use do not cause
skin irritation. However, there are instances of allergic reactions to many
dierent types of materials. When possible, Bose chooses materials that yield
the best results for biocompatibility.
Can the new headset be worn by
pilots who suer from auditory
eczema (exostosis)?
Bose has been selling these tips for years with millions of units in operation
without any significant issues. In any case, customers with skin conditions
should consult a doctor for advice. It is important to know that the buds do
not fit deeply in the ear canal; they are meant to rest carefully in the concha
or bowl of the ear and should not aggravate or irritate the skin in the canal.
Could a hearing aid be worn under/
behind the earbud?
Please consult with a qualified medical professional before using any
Bose Aviation headsets in conjunction with hearing aids.
