It's not about the money, I own 4 sets of aviation headsets, including a set of Bose A20s, but they stay with the plane. Now that we're starting to get hot mic capability, I can see the utility in getting a set. I just want something that is super compact and packs nicely. I'd consider the Clarity Aloft Flex set, they look like they may fit the bill. If anyone has experience, I'd love to hear it.
I use an A20 but I never use the carrying case. I just rawdog my headset in the cockpit bag (that small LW stealth flight cube) but it sits on top of my emergency pair of underwear/white undershirt which acts as a cushion so it's not getting banged on the ground when I set the bag down. It barely takes any room too. That Bose case is too bulky in my opinion.
