Ive only flown the MD and 757 here but from what I’ve seen, it’s rare to see someone use their own headset on the MD. Not uncommon on 757. One thing to consider since most people do one ear on/one ear off, is that any headset you may get would probably work best in our ops if you were able to have the left ear exposed easily(at least while your in the right seat). I have a Bose Ufly combo and unless the other guy is ok with using the intercom, it’s awkward with the ear piece mic arrangement. Hopefully they install those intercoms they have been talking about soon.
