I got the metal frames luggage works 22" with the suiter and a efb/lunch bag combo. I'll try to help make the thread fit here a little better for you. I was a mil fighter in my prior life. This gave me a couple challenges with comms. The company has cheap telex headsets, they are similar to the headsets we wore with Walkman in the 80s. I have some hearing loss, so I needed to turn them up a bit. This results in a little distortion, so I can hear it but it is a little garbled. Also, the language is slightly different than I was used to at a mil field or on a boat. Normally if I missed half the comm I could fill in the blanks as I knew what they were saying, not so much on the 121 side. After a few flights this got better and now isn't much of an issue. Also used to a helmet and cutting out a bit of background noise. I bought the DC prox headset, a bit cheaper than the Bose. The comms are crystal clear now. Also, when I Jumpseat in the back I Bluetooth to the iPad for music, and the ANR also cuts down on noise in the back as well as it does up front. It is difficult to see out the windows with polarized sunglasses, I got different lenses.
