I'm only basing my opinion on their experience and what my check airman told me during my IOE. Also remember that many guys have sub 300 hours TT, so reviewing before IOE certainly couldn't hurt.
I have not heard of anyone on property that is sub 300 hours, much less the quoted "many". And you really dont need to crack open the POM if you have anything between your ears. Take to the time to enjoy your last paid vacation in a long time.
In regards to the headset I would recommend the bose X, lightweigt, crystal clear, and not to hard to carry around. Since I only get one set of ears, I think I can deal with the inconvenience of having to lug around my own headset.
