Are replacement cords for Bose A20 retrofittable to Model X Headsets?

[Jamaica Scott]

I have two Bose Model X ANR headsets with GA two cords and just bought a new plane with LEMO six pin panel powered jacks. I see that Bose sells replacement cords for the A20 but not the X. Can even get Bluetooth. Does anyone know if the A20 cord can be swapped with the X cord?

I looked into this and I think the answer is "no." I looked the cord and the mounting point in the headset, and it's the mounting point (and connectors) in the Bose X that is different than the A20. I stopped there and did not call Bose as I think I found my answer.

I think looking on eBay to see if someone is selling a Lemo cord for the Bose X is your best bet. Or get a GA plug to Lemo adapter (not sure if ship power will transfer though... i suspect not.) I have the Lemo plug on my Bose X and it's nice not worrying about batteries. No bluetooth of course, but that would be for pairing to my iPhone. All of my panel is integrated into the intercom.
