Bose A20 vs ProFlight for B737 Pilots

The Bose A20 and Bose ProFlight are built for different pilot preferences and operating environments. If you fly the Boeing 737, the choice also affects how you manage and store the headset during the flight and between sectors.

Bose A20

The Bose A20 is an over-ear aviation headset. Its larger earcups and traditional headset format make it particularly important to have a sensible storage position when you are not wearing it.

For a B737 cockpit setup, the Bose A20 B737 Headset Mount provides a dedicated holder designed around the headset and aircraft combination.

Bose ProFlight

The Bose ProFlight uses a lighter in-ear aviation design. It is aimed at pilots who prefer a smaller, lighter headset format while still having active noise reduction.

If this is your headset, the Bose ProFlight B737 Headset Mount is the dedicated B737 storage option.

Which one should you choose?

There is no universal winner. Choose based on the headset format you already prefer, comfort, operating environment and how you want to manage the headset in the cockpit.

Bottom line

The right choice is the headset that works best for you. Once you have chosen your headset, a dedicated B737 holder is a small accessory that can make cockpit organisation noticeably easier.
