Great video!!
Hahaha! I was just watching your video when you sent that. Fantastic information in your video, itâs great to see so much info getting crammed into so little time!
Good job!
Will the proflight 2 work even without batteries? Thank you!
She is the one who made the great video about same subject and she is telling someone else made good video I didn't understand you are being honest or you are insulting him đ€đ€đ€đ€đđđđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ§đ§đ§đ§ No no both of you made great video on same subject đđđđđ
I was searching reviews for these, was so happy to see Mentor pilot come up as the first hit in the search! keep up the great work.
I've been using the in-ear headsets since the 1980s, for my 421 anyway.The headset I've had for the last several years is a Telex 5x5 Pro III. The 421 is probably the quietest of all piston engine planes out there, so it works well. However, there's no denying that Bose is an excellent brand.
It's a great information about Aircrafts. Thanks

I absolutely live your channel and do you have any advice for a student in 11th grade who wants to become a pilot like you

Many! Join me in the app and we can talk about it!
So how is it to fly airbus 737? Would you rather fly Boeing B320?
ZappyZ u got the names mixed up...
Melvin Carlsson woooosh. I hope heâs joking.

Thanks for the video. I couldn't figure out where the "tap to talk" switch was. Old eyes didn't help! Love this headset after years of the DC Pro X.
This is pretty sweet! I currently have a lightspeed ANR headset and itâs getting the job done. Iâm planning on having that get me through flight school and then once I get with a part 21 or 35 carrier then Iâll look at getting this style. Since itâll be later down the road Iâll see what the latest model is.
I used bose QC25's for years until they very recently broke. Being used to cup earphones I then changed the QC20's and the in ear stuff is great. I kept it in on a 10 hour flight with noise cancelling on and couldn't hear anything on an a330.
BOSE may be not the best noise cancelling choice any more, but as a whole it is a brand I can respect.
They make truly ergonomic designs, keep innovating, keep improving and the best of all their customer support is very very good (something that is becoming rare with big corporations).
Does cost premium, but I think it is justified for a good quality and support.
P.S. Their bluetooth speakers sound amazingly good for their tiny size.
I have always complained about that heavy cord on the a20
Wish they had the light thin braided one light on lightspeed
Hopefully yawls input will help them change that also
Bose quality has been a high standard in the audio industry over the last 50 years. Even if you don't like Bose and considering other manufacturers, test the warranty. The Bose warranty is as good as gold. When you pay a lot of money for a headset, you want them to not only be good but also durable. Headsets may look flimsy, but Bose has done a good job of using quality materials that stand up to a lot of wear and tear....AND will stand by their warranty...even if you didn't buy your headset at the original store or don't have your receipt. I can personally attest to that!
And the A20 will not be upgraded?
Luis Fernando I just bought an A20, so hopefully not too soon! đ
The A20 may become a hot commodity if Bose actually discontinues it. So if they do not upgrade, I would not worry. Get your headset signed by a famous pilot, such as Sullenberger, and who knows? Ebay?
Itâs a perfect design , no need for an upgrade
I want bose to upgrade the A20.
How do you upgrade perfection?
@@prorobo By making it even more expensive...
well now we see... by making it cheaper and more plastic feeling... but actually heavier, by adding failed features like the tap to pass through from the proflight, adding the 3 levels of ANR (when 99.9% just use high) and making the battery box and its switches much cheaper feeling. by making the ANR not one bit better than the A20. that is your A30... ugh.
I like the UFQ L2 headset better. Lighter, (no weight on head) more quiet and it's 1/3rd of the price of the Bose. You can see reviews of it on Amazon, but you might be able to get it even cheaper on eBay.
Thanks for honest review!
I prefer over-ear headphones like the A20 , just because I find that the noise cancellation is better and it is generally comfortable .
Any upgrades coming to the A20?
New intro animation is good. But i miss the previous one.â€
Flying tomorrowđ
Thanks for the good review - just got an e-mail from Bose telling me that the v 2.0 are delayed until September,
Maybe Bose decided to tweak them one more time based on Mentour Pilot's latest comments... :)
I have been trying out the Proflight 2 in the Airbus 321. I do like a lot of the design, however the side tone is very low. Every time I am talking over the intercom or transmitting a call, my own voice volume is really low. I have the internal jumper for intercom to the default setting. Have you experienced this at all and wondering if Bose can adjust this within the headset?
Grt video can u do a 2.0 Vs a20 pls
It's great videođ
I have one question..
Is it possible to record Atc???
I like how Mentour says the word "zero" like in Spanish - "cero".
I think he lives in Spain
Of course, he does!
ok thanks
That is exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you. I have a Bose ProFlight one. My only question is......Have you tried placing the ProFlight One into the ProFlight Two headset case? I fly an A320 and the weight of the cable doesn't bother me. I do find it annoying trying to put the headset back in the ProFlight One case.
At Ur airline do you need to uncover your ear below 1000ft?
Where is dog
Can you still switch the mic from left to right like to Proflight 1?
who ever made the intro: Motion blur looks better than resampling imo
Where is the puppy ? :-D
Ohhhh thatâs hot, thatâs hot!
I noticed the pro Flight series 2 doesnât have a volume control whereas the Bose A30 aviation headset ( over ear ) does have a volume control. Is this something to think about? I am a student pilot
Why the microphone sound quality of aviation headsets are so bad? Even in cabin communication.
Hi,
I'm an engineer who just recently found my way on to your channel. I have been thinking a lot about the topics you've covered, during my years of being a passenger, but I haven't brought myself to find these answers earlier.
I have found a increased interest in the physics, mechanics and the electronics used in modern passenger flights, through your channel, so thanks for that. Great explanations at a very comprehensive level, no matter your technical background. I also feel a lot more calm about flying as I've learned more about the security checks and all.
However, I have a question that I don't think you've covered.
Why is the internal communication between the pilots in the cockpit and the rest of the people in the cabin having such low sound quality? (One way communication: Pilots -> Cabin crew and passangers)
This communication is usually pretty noisy and full of crackling, on all the different aircrafts I've been a passenger on.
Considering the aircraft costs a lot either way, is it really the case that they cut down on the costs of microphone and good enough speakers?
Is there any other factor I haven't thought of that would interfer, so that it is hard ending up with a signal with low disturbances?
Thank you!
Don't quote on this as it's just a supposition, I believe it's just when it's recorded that it sounds bad. Could it be?
Poor dog wants to be in the video but you don't let him inđ
Is the actual headset the same quality between series 1 and 2? Interested in changing the cable for the smaller one. As it will have the new control module, do the updates come across if using a series 1 headset with a series 2 control module and cable?
Can you use this headset without the noise cancelling function? How quiet is it with just the ear piece attenuation?
Puppy update!
Your new intro is cool
Itâs 2022. Are you still using this headset? If not what are you using now? I am very much on the fence about using in ear style. Never been a fan of in ear anything. Well, maybe except AirPods (Not Pros)! Have Sennheiser HMEC 26 but am looking for a a new light maybe slightly more modern set with Bluetooth. Itâs down to this and or the Clarity Aloft Link. Thoughts????
Just bought it as I got a discount on it via my company. Looks and feels like quality. Really happy with it. Came from the QC35II from Bose. This is an upgrade đđŒ
In the situation when a pilot doesnât know damage of a control surface ,,like rudder elevators etc.....why donât they have some sort of video camera on the vital control surfaces,,(especially when it isnât known where the problem is,,,that way the crew will know instantly where the problem is and act accordingly,,,,seems logical to me.
More interested in Patxi than the Bose thingie :-) Greetings!
Do they pop out if you chew some gum?
Are those earpieces custom fit like some musicians use in live performances?
How fast can you remove it and put it back on in a rapid decompression situation?
Very fast when you get used to it
Thank you
Wonderful!!! :)
Anyone knows when gen 3 is coming out?
Love this video. đ§â€ïž
How about Sennheiser ?
Quick question: why does the Boeing 737 have 2 CMD autopilot engage buttons next to each other, and why is the right one pressed? Whenever I fly my 737 in x plane 11, I always press the left one.
Because we have two autopilots. Whenever each pilot flies we select the corresponding FD and corresponding Autopilot
Hi. You mention in this video that retrofitting the new cable to version 1 would be discounted. I have since this video release not found any information concerning the discount. Could you kindly elaborate?
Hi! This was a while back now, Iâm not sure if BOSE are still discounting the retrofit or not.
@@MentourPilot Ok, tack för svaret. Itâs just that I saw this clip as soon as it was released and I even spoke to Bose Sweden at that time, but they were not aware of such a campaign. Very unfortunate if the offer is now expired.
Thinking of getting these for my son. He has a PlayStation 4. Spoilt brat. đ
Does it go with a cable connector for A320?
Why can't u use Bluetooth headset??
During takeoff and landing bluetooth and other electromagnetic waves are not permitted especially in this day and age of âfly by wire.â The Bose A20 plugs in directly into two jacks, one for the mic and one for the earphone. The bluetooth is more for when you rest and want to listen to music or watch a movie. Please note: the bluetooth is only for the earphone part and not the mic. Yes you can pair it with your cellphone but you still need your cellphone nearby for the person you are talking to to be able to hear you.
Anyone had the problem in the noise canceling mode that âbig bangâ in the ear as turning the mike?
i prefer a20
I made a comment yesterday about the A20 being far superior than this light weight headset. It was removed. O well, I guess someone didnât like my opinion. Iâve only been flying the 737 for 28 years now, so what do I know about cockpit noise?. Lol
Hey captain. Is this better than the a20?
It depends what you are after. To fly an airliner, I would say yes. To fly GA, I would probably use the A20
Thanks captain. Congrats on the official Instagram account
Mentour Pilot And to fly GA only during the training with the airline in sight?
i don't understand how it starts running
I spent my last few days doing support of Power Plant JT-8. P&W, of course. I could not aviation-wise due to color-blindness...However using the same gizzzmo for power generation was rather redeeming. Just a note-for-confidence for similarly discouraged potential pilots. Color-blindness generally happens to guys, not gals. Kicks your hiney insofar as professions go. We do what we can do......stupid human evo.
I really don't like these type of videos. Like, where's the dog. You can't make a video without the dog đ.
Gotcha, have a great day sirđȘđŒ
Yup, I missed the dog too
Lets us go back with communication on morse code. Lets make flying fun again.
At the same time as DutchPilotGirl
He is Swedish...no doubt about that
âSo sweet he said "revolution" when he meant 'revelation' but I have to say as an English person, his spoken English is PHENOMENAL đŻ
I m not a pilot but anyway there is a Bluetooth so I can listen music or I can use it while watching movies that's why I want to buy it đ§đ§đ§đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđđđ
Iâve contacted Bose about upgrading my proflight 1 to a 2 regarding what youâve said they would do. They have told me there is no such offer and offered me 10% off a new proflight 2. Whoever gave you your info itâs wrong.
Returning myn to go back to the a20's the 737 is far to noisey and clunky
I feel sorry for ones who bought 1.0
how does the engine works
Come into the Mentour Aviation app and letâs discuss that.
Yeet

Hi, I'm gonna be straightforward with my question here:
I'm 18 years old and my name is Mohammad and my dream job is to become an airline pilot. Luckily my parents are able to afford it but I am afraid that because of my name I will not be able to find a job. I want to fly for a european airline. I'm not religious and I'm very open minded. So please anyone who has experience in this field tell me whether my name hinders my chances of getting a job. I'm so afraid of spending a fortune and not finding a job. Also, what good flight schools do you recommend?
The name is the last thing you should be worried about. To work in Europe for a major airline you must be European citizen and meet all the requirements.
@@Andrea-it7vk Im Lebanese. So if there is no way at all I can ever work for a european airline? I'm very confused about what to do apply for and wheređ
As being a Norwegian, Im more afraid of having a Swedish pilot (Expect for Petter).
Mohammad will do fine
150 euro for the cable ?!? wow
First of all. I am not a pilot. But can.t you save some more 10 seconds bij just using the inboard headset?
Did inhear you say 150 euro? But please tell me. What is wrong with the aircraft headset. Or am i missing something obvous here ?
The headset costs around 1000$, I suppose professional pilots think it's a worthy investment to have their own headset, given they have to use it every day on the job. Comfort, audio quality, light weight... probably something you want to have, makes the quality of your professional life a little better.
Company headsets are usually crappy, beat to hell, and covered in people's ear juices. I'll stick with my $1,100 anc headset, thank you.
Are these headsets good to use in a Cessna 172?
Steve Mullin yes they are. I use them in A320 and in a PA-28, works very good.
@@MarekPalkoci I use Dave Clark headset and find them heavy and awkward when under the hood doing IFR training. Are they bluetooth?
Tap control on 1 gen headset works very bad , especially during takeoff on Boeing 737 NG. When you close the window, tap mode regime automatically switches to low noise level. Itâs like a hit on your ears. Noice reduction on high position works outstanding, but low level of noise mode works, on my opinion too loudly.
And when will they downgrade the price of the A20? Or should we prefer a Lightspeed headset?
Mentour, it was probably a mistake to ask for a thinner cable, as it will likely not be as durable now. Essentially you downgraded the headset. A better option to try would of been for Bose, or you, to design a clip device that would allow the cord to be anchored to your shirt or belt somewhere as a strain relief so the cord would not push or pull on your headset. As for the case they should of left it as is. You could of bought a Pelican case or a similar one from Harbor Freight and customized the inside foam padding to suit what you wanted for those quick plane changes.
Well-designed, high-quality silicone cables will last, even when they're thin like that. That cable sees much less wear than you might expect, it's not in a high-stress situation.
It's not really the rubber I'd be concerned about, but the reduction in wire gauge thickness, and its resistance to flex, pullout, and internal wire breakage at the bend points. The clip I mentioned would help avoid that at the headphone end.
Yep, I agree
The A20s come with two said clips and I'd imagine the original Proflights did as well. A cable that is heavier than the headset itself is not a good design, period. These 2.0s are intriguing but I'll keep using my A20s on the flight deck until possibly the 3.0s.
11:39 you have the app called sparbanken :) I see you are from sweden and my guess is that you fly with SAS right?
I think he works with Ryanair
Maybe Ryanair with lile a base at ESKN(Stockholm Skavsta) or ESGG(Gothenburg)
@@kaptenpanna4603 He is based in Spain I Think.
JĂžrgen Ramdahl maybe Air Europa then?
oh i was just about to throw my headset out the window :/
Telex Airman 750 is the worst
Are there any helicopter pilots out there that use this?
I can't even afford to buy the 1st gen.
Ah, you must be a Primera Air pilot
How objective con you be? Sponsor? Not sure
What airline do you fly for as a pilot
how much did these curries pay you for this?
Do any pilots turn up for work trying to look badass by wearing Beats by Doctor Dre?
Thomas Cook's crew maybe?
Bose no. David Clarks forever!
DC can't hold a candle to Bose. Own both the Pro Xs and the A20s. No comparison.
