I am currently extremely disappointed with my A30's. I am not a pilot, but will soon be beginning my PPL training so decided to treat myself. I have no experience with the A20's but I am very experienced with audio (just look at my videos). The volume is much lower than my other headphones. I won't hold them up to being able to contend with my 990 Pro beyerdynamic's, even though they are merely $200 headphones, because they blow away the bose in audio quality. I won't compare them to my bose earbuds either since they're in ear. I will however compare them with my QC35's. The design of the A30's looks very much like the 35's. Cans of the A30's are nearly identical, but slightly larger than the 35's. For my tests I have the controller powered and max noise cancelling (which is almost on par with the 35's for the noise cancelling at least) and connected via blue tooth, the songs are so much better on the 35's. The volume is one notch behind that of the 35's. So on my phone (source of the bluetooth), my volume at 80 percent for the 35's is 100 for the A30's. In other words, I have to max my phone with the A30's to hear the same volume I hear at 80 percent with the 35's and the quality then at 100 is not near the quality of the 35's. The QC35's are $350. I understand that an aviation headset has a mic (wow) and a controller, but again, we're talking about a $1000 difference. I've had them a couple of weeks now and have done all of the troubleshooting steps I can find but it blows my mind that people only compare these with other aviation headsets. Not one single audiophile to rate the actual audio quality or specs (guts of the cans). I am going to try to talk to someone at Bose tomorrow. Unfortunately, there aren't any Bose stores anymore within 1000 miles of me because I'd love to compare them with the same model and then ask bose why they rip off aviators. Not finding a single mention of comparisons on a single A30 video tells me the pilots that do these videos really don't use headphones outside of the cockpit. Would love to hear opinions from someone that actually owns a normal pair of cans and not just overpriced aviator headsets. I would have paid triple IF they could at least match their own much cheaper product, so I really did want them be ok.

Do I need to turn it on to charge?

I have few pair of A20’s And one A10. Sound quality and ANR is almost identical. The A30 is awful as far as sound and ANR in GA. The reviews all over Amazon. I think A20’s is the sweet spot!

Did your account get hacked? 🫤

yes i want to see it with the pi

Great explanation.

You really need to improve your camera skills, I've never watched the ground so long

Maybe he was thinking about this fun fact about the number 8! Which is why he wasn’t able to complete basic math. The number 8 is considered extremely lucky in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word for wealth and prosperity.

Need wider angles. Every shot feels so close-up. Would also be nice to see an outdoor demo on a park bench or something

I need to replace a mic.

I bought the A30. I hate them. Suck in my C182. I cannot make phone calls. I can’t hear the caller and they can’t hear me.

Cool video

Nice review!

I feel like an idiot because I dont get how 33 minus 18 = 8. I'm sure its very easy but I'm missing it like a dullard. I get everything else in principle and its a good lesson though.

Nice find. Thanks for sharing.

Does the GDL50 provide ground speed and altitude information when used with Garmin Pilot and an iPad?

How to replace the cables? Can we find them?

33-18 = 8? What’s going on?

Is this that new math ive been hearing about in the schools? We're all doomed 😂😂😂

I cant believe people found this helpful , with all incorrect math calculations it's very misleading for new pilot in training, along with not explaining what if you have a negative number.

Made in Mexico v USA re A30 v A20 it seems

Leaf blower is lots faster! Makes a mess in the corners, though. Then again, it's only a hangar...

Thanks for taking time to help but your is wrong

I’m really unhappy with my “upgrade” from a20-30. First and foremost, the audio sound is disgusting. My own voice is like talking into an echo chamber, it’s really off putting. Not only does it sound echoey, I can also barely hear myself making it harder to talk naturally. The tap to turn off noise cancellation is a total joke. Bumping it on anything, like a visor cuts out an ear cup and your left with one ear on and the other off. Even landing the Ejet and placing the nose wheel down somewhat gently will be enough of a bump to trigger the ANC drop out. (You can turn it on and off via a switch under the batteries). I am also getting head pressure headaches from the dense foam pads on top, much worse then the a20’s. Granted my head is relatively big. The smooth feel plastic material is much less durable then the a20’s, shows every scratch and for $2000 AUD you would think they could braid the cable since EVERY a20 before it has the cable start to deteriorate around the 4 year mark. The downcable on the a30 is even thinner and after one single use already shows signs on stress. The ear cups are still synthetic and going to fail like all Bose ear cups. You can buy lamb’s leather replacement ear cups off Amazon. Why the hell can’t the TOP model BOSE be supplied with real leather - or a material that doesn’t flake!!!!!!! The audio controller comes with a silicon band to help “hang” the controller. The silicon goes OVER the Bluetooth volume buttons. Piss poor effort for the most expensive headset on the market. It’s like an after thought!! Im keen to know if anyone else is experiencing audio like they are talking into a tin can/ echo. (5 pin XLR, embraer 190 tested only). The hot swappable L and R mic position is nice. And I can ONLY HOPE they have improved the mic wiring so that it’s not a cable twisting every time you swivel the mic up and down as it was on the a20 but I have my doubts. (The UFlyMike as an example - has a microphone connection that facilitates endless 360 degree loops, you can pop it off and replace it in <30 seconds if you needed….the Bose mic has a cable twisting at the hinge point that breaks due to fatigue - exactly what happened to me about to depart Melbourne). And the case. Another joke. A couple of pockets and maybe just a slight hard shell would be nice protection for such an expensive headset. This product is in desperate need of competition. I actually see myself selling these if bose can’t provide answers on the echoey sound problem. Very very disappointing.

??? 33 - 18= 8 ? ??? 25 - 7 = 8 ? Please explain - what am I missing here? What's going on with the math?

How do you feel about the carrying case? I was attracted to the A20 carrying case and was let down with the lack of outer pockets on the A30s.

Got one for my Arrow, love it.

Great idea, thanks.

Just bought a pair of these for my wife and daughter. Flew halfway across the country and back without an issue. Much better than the old DC’s. Thanks for the cleaning tip. I imagine this is a task will be coming at some point.

By the way, a Cessna 182 Skylane DOES have a Variable Pitch “Adjustable” Propeller.

I was only able to make it to 11 minutes before I became uncontrollably annoyed.

Hello, Is ANR/isolation is really much better on the A30 (with/without sunglasses) ? Regards

In what world is 33 - 18 = 8?

I'm having weirdness with my A30's in my Glasair Sportsman. Feels like the ANC isn't as good, and that I have weird instances where it feels like ANC drops out in one ear or another randomly. Comfort wise they're better than my A20s, but the ANC thing is bugging me.

What range are you getting?

Nice honest review! If you need any accessories, just let us know - also comes with the alligator clip case.

I'm sorry I know this video is old, but your math doesn't seem right in that first example 33-18 isn't 8 and 25-7 isn't 8

Thank you for the review I was looking at both!!! I am going with the same as you!!!

Really good and unbiased review, which is lost art nowadays! Specifically, your comparison between the two shared some interesting points that others didn't cover. Apparently, the A30 has less clamping force and a lower center of gravity, resulting in less neck pain after long usage. Whether this is a marketing stunt or over-engineering, I'm not sure, but have you noticed any difference after long usage, or is it rather negligent.

Wow had no idea that alcohol wipes can clean that nasty feel on plastic. I thought it was just degraded plastic from being out in the sun. Thanks for sharing

Looks really nice. How long did they last?

Doesn't the tower work this out and tell you which runway to land on? Definitely in larger aircraft.

“Low...your children are going to feel the effects of this”....😂Got one today..thanks for recommendation...really seems perfect.

After a while you will always end up with a sticky nasty yoke especially when it gets really hot

What if you get a negative number? Example, 28-RWY36=-8 Still go with lowest?

Convenient for a jumpseater

omg u helped me so much! thank you!
