I know. I'm not bashing the set. I'm bashing the idea.

Custom ear molds have been around for decades. It's not the headset that sucks, it's getting the perfect ear mold, then keeping them seated perfectly the entire flight. I've discovered that you can usually do one, but not the other. For me, it's easier AND quieter just to go the conventional route. If they work for you, great. I would imagine the stock ear pieces will work better than any custom mold. Even then, it's just a PITA. I commute with a Sony WH1000XM4 ANR bluetooth headset. I'm just not an "earbud" guy I guess. I like quiet, clean sounds.

If it works for you, great! Personally, I wish Bose would have put the effort in to updating the now 20+ year old A20 design. To each their own.
