Default What adapter do I need ?

Hey everyone ,
I just got a Bose 10 headset to use in the airbus . I have the airbus adapter plug for it . However on a lot of the busses they have the dual jacks and the Bose plug doesn’t work in it however the telex does . Someone told me I need a dual jack telex adapter and I can’t find anything . If anyone out there has had this problem and know the adapter I need can you add it here ?

thanks for your help

Just stick your plug in any hole it fits in.

Does your Bose have dual plugs but still doesn't work? If so, it could be the tip of the mic plug is rounded, as opposed to triangular. Tiny difference, but it won't make contact. I had it with a dual plug telex, in our dual plug buses.

If so, getting an extension cord might help, or an airbus back to dual ga adapter, and use both. Flew with a guy who had a bose, and they send him an adapter that was supposed to solve the problem, but it didn't work in every plane....

There is no difference. Gender is a social construct and it's bigoted of people to disagree.

I have Bose proflights dual plug and they work fine with the 5 pin adapter and plug in just fine on the dual plug birds. This is at AA. Not sure if other headset models Bose has are different.

That what got me into this whole mess in the first place. I’m still making payments on my first headset that were DEFINITELY not noise-cancelling.
