In-Ear Headsets: Clarity, Faro, Bose

Not all in-ear headsets will work in all cabins. Three models in our long-term test pool - the Bose ProGlight Series 2, the Faro Air and Clarity Aloft - have decent comfort, buy buy from a retailer that has a liberal return policy.

For the majority of us, earbuds have become a way of life. So why not try earbud aviation headsets? That’s what we did with three of the latest models from Bose, Clarity Aloft and Faro Aviation. 

While all of them succeed in providing a certain amount of freedom compared to over-the-ear models, they won’t work for all applications.
