Bose Headsets

[Globetrotter0207]

Hi Guy's,

just wondering if anyone can help me out. I am trying to get approval to use a Bose A20 or proflight headset in the A330. Would like to know if there are any carriers that allow the use of these headsets in any airbus type in the US.

Thanks for any assistance 👍

yes, every carrier allows these in the US. In the US, airlines either require TSO certification for headsets or not. Most require TSO certification. If the headset is TSO certified, then they are permitted at any carrier that requires TSO certification.

If a carrier does not require TSO certification, then any headset is permitted.

At American Airlines, any TSO headset is allowed.
