all airplanes have either a telex 750 or 850. it varies, I have seen a few guys with bose but it really is rather silly to buy a nice expensive headset then only to use half of it because we dont use hot mic's here so you have to have one ear off to hear the other guy.
I wish we just used the damn hot mic. Some airplanes (on the bus) have a switch that isn't momentary and others its just a momentary switch for the interphone. All you need to do is use a rubber band to keep it switched on and voila you can hear the other dude with out yelling.
