The release of Bose X made the way for Bose to become popular in the aviation industry. Using the latest technology, Bose headsets are made for comfort and are program to block noise generated from aircrafts. With the newly released Bose A20, Bose became even more popular and some would tag it as the “best” in the aviation industry. In connection with this, Lightspeed introduced their lightspeed zulu which has same features with the Bose A20. During its release, Bose and Lightspeed became the top aviation headsets manufacturer today.
Bose headsets started in 1989 with the Series 1 black and the Series 2 in 1996. This headset is almost similar to the Series 1 minus the see-through ear-cups. Then came Bose X headsets which were introduced during the 1998 EAA Airventure at Oshkosh. During these years, they’re main competitors are the Lightyear and David Clark. These headsets are commonly used by pilots and pilots are identified with their pilot uniforms. The Bose X headsets were branded as the “best headsets” by a lot of people who patronize their product. Ten years later, provided with the latest technology they have, Bose A20 was introduced. It is more advanced than the X series nut just in external aspects but also internal features. This headset has a microphone outside and in the ear-cups. This is also equipped with Bluetooth which makes it even more popular. This feature is designed for wider application. The same feature is equipped with Lightspeed’s newly released headset. Both Lightspeed and Bose headsets are competent when it comes to functionality and price. As the model changes, so are its features. In the long run, who makes the best aviation headsets doesn’t matter anymore, but the comfort and the quality that one gives when you’re wearing it.
