I didn’t like that the Pro X reverted every time it was powered on.

Does anyone know if the Pro X uses ships power rather than batteries if you get the Airbus plug version? I read that the A20 and Pro Flight do.

The Pro-XA has the 5 pin XLR (E190 and Airbus) plug for ship power. $715 on Amazon.

Sounds like a pilot alertness feature! If I'd known about this innovation I might have rated the headset a bit higher.

You are possibly missing a part then. I've had mine for over two years, bought direct from Bose. Maybe they don't include it anymore or that is an Amazon thing, but I use my detachable audio cord, which was included in mine, every commute to plug into the in-seat TV.

The audio jack on the QC35 is on the bottom of the left ear cup. It's smaller than standard though, that's how they get you.

Also to keep it on topic, if they made a Ufly for the QC35 I'd be all over. Most comfortable headphones I've ever had.

Not uflymike but a similar concept. Works with any headphones with a 2.5mm audio input jack. Not TSO either. I don't have one but I've been looking over options for a new headset for sometime.

I already have the QC35 and I can also confirm it has an audio jack. I have the older model so I don't know if they changed the new design.

I stand corrected, I took my pair out and sure enough there's an audio jack. For all I know I had the cord as well and just immediately discarded it, I really don't remember.

Very cool, thanks for that. Now to convince people you do need noise cancelling on the Airbus and we will be in business.

Yes it does function as that. You also hear the fo from one of the jumpseat swearing at random times.

Picture 2 on the left earpiece is the hole for the audio cable. Picture 4 shows the audio cable.

Has anybody using the Pro-X had an issue with them moving quite a bit on your head? They are very nice, and they don't wear my ears out because they are so light but this makes it so they move around on my head quite a bit. (I.e. after looking down multiple times I will have to adjust them towards the back of my head). Just curious if anybody else has this issue or it's just me? Is it just something you have to get used to as a trade off for the comfort?

Yes, similar experience. Worst when I look down at center console. I have the X2. One of the incremental improvements over the X was supposedly an improvement with this issue.

It's a minor annoyance for me. All in all I love the headset. Makes the 73 much more enjoyable.
