Default Clarity Aloft for A320?

Newbie here… Wondering if anyone uses the Clarity Aloft headset on the Airbus. My biggest concern is that the cord will have trouble reaching the jack over and behind right shoulder since the cord only comes out of the left side side of the headset. I’ve gotten so used to not having an over the head/ear headset I was hoping to continue to use the CA’s. If they won’t work, I guess I’ll also take some recommendations for headsets.. Appreciated!

The ship set works fine. Take them off through 18,000 anyhow and use speaker.

They work fine, and have plenty of reach. Make sure you purchase an airbus adapter for them as it’s needed at least half of the time.

I use it on the bus with zero issue. As long as you have the adapter for the older planes, you're good to go.

not really. I waited 6 years to buy my own noise canceling. Should have bought them on day 1. Yes, I take mine off at 18k too. Huge difference.

I bought these, work great! And are cheaper. Of course I got the Bluetooth version, so if you get non-bluetooth they're even cheaper. I use to own clarity aloft, enjoyed them, then lost them. Glad I found these for a much lower price. As mentioned before, get the adpaters for the older birds.

I have a pair of those I bought when my CA managed to get stuck in mono. Very comfortable and work well, but the length of the wiring is excessive. Trying to put it back into the case or untangle the mess quickly when taking it out was a hassle. Otherwise, no complaints.
