Much better than A20
BOSE A30 HEADSET DUAL GA PLUGS WITH BLUETOOTH ELECTRET MIC
Great News headset buyers! I have owned and extensively used: DC One-X Delta Zulu and now…A30. Winner is A30. You’ll be happy with a Clark. The battery change is a learning curve and it’s not as quiet overall. But She’s a Clark and does very well. Delta Zulu was missing cable clip out of the box but did well. You have to use the app just to know the charge level of your headset and log in? The DeltaZ was more quiet than the DC. The audio out was very disappointing it didn’t pick up my voice well unless I really gave a military effort. The boom was too short to reach my center mouth!? 6 months in I started getting feedback when I spoke on the intercom. Platform for all headsets was the Cessna 172SP Garmin 530 with Kings for back-up. Pipeline Patrol flying 3-4 days a week. I flew the DC for over two years and changed ear cups as needed. Clarks over Zulu for service overall. My sling wing friends and mechanics use the Bose and they have told me for Seven years..get the Bose. So now I go up to them and say…”OMGosh Why Didn’t you Tell Me!? Excellent Quiet perfect cockpit communications even with a 60amp Arctic-Air system causing electrical chaos. I fly over the runway at: KATL,KBNA,KCHA and clear beautiful communications with the A30. You have been officially told. 52 year old Cessna and PAC-750 skydive pilot Recommended. If you have read all this…mortgage your home and be happy all day..every day. Respects to my Brothers and Sisters. Fly the Airplane.

Very happy with the A30s. They are comfortable and do a great job at noise reduction.

Overall, I am pleased with the A30. But I do have a few observations. For 15 years I have used the Bose QC25 and UFlyMike, now called Harmony. I had two versions of this setup over the years upgrading both the Bose and the mic. A few positive observations on the A30: The A30 seems to connect to both Bluetooth and wired at the same time. I can see real benefits to this, if for instance I need to call maintenance while stopped on a taxiway. As an airline pilot, this occurs from time to time. I have not tested the phone call theory yet, but it does connect to Bluetooth. Another positive is the interaction with the intercom on the Airbus 320. The Harmony setup had a persistent static noise in the background. I tried various settings on the Harmony, but I was never able to completely minimize this static. The A30 works flawlessly. The A30 is a very comfortable headset. Ive used it on a number of flights thus far and I can easily wear for an hour or more. The main negative observation is the footprint of the A30 vs my previous setup. Its much larger. The A30 has a battery pack that dangles, whereas the Harmony is self contained. Next is the headset case that is shipped with the A30. The case is soft sided vs a rigid case for the Harmony setup. As an airline pilot, I have to use the headset case daily. Being soft sided is cumbersome. Of course a rigid case would make the aforementioned footprint even more pronounced. Finally one has to look at the price tag. The A30 is nearly twice the price of my previous setup. Definitely something to consider, especially since the Harmony setup means having a nice Bose QC25 to use on long commutes. Switching to the A30 means I use earbuds on my commute now. Earbuds do not block crying babies nearly as well as the QC25 did. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. These headsets do work exceptionally well for what they are designed to do.

I have used the new A30 once since receiving and love them. I have been an A20 user for years and find the A30 more comfortable to wear, particularly clamp force and top of head pressure were noticeably less after a two-hour flight. The noise cancelling was superb with subtle difference from the A20. I fly a Piper PA28-236 so I definitely use the high noise cancelling setting on the A30, but I did try the Med and Low to see the difference - and there is. The Bluetooth capability was rock solid as was the A20.

Nice progression forward from the A20. Does not make the A20 obsolete, but is an improvement on the best headset out there.
