You really wear that big-ass Bose while in a passenger seat? Do you keep the boom mic in front of your mouth? 😁 j/k
I prefer Bluetooth earbuds when not in the cockpit. Don’t want to wear heavy over-the-head headsets any more than I have to.

Headset compatibility on DAL aircraft
Lol I did because I didn’t want to bring another set of headphones. The boom mike shows up along the right side (FO setup) or left side (CA setup) frame. But yeah, now I also bring my $10 Koss headphones for commuting. Earbuds fall out of my ears.

I just bought an adapter to the standard GA two-plug so I can use them when jumpseating. I have seen no 5-pin ANR jumpseat plugs outside the ERJ, even in the A320. Buy the A20 with Bluetooth so you can talk on your phone or listen to music when commuting.

The QC-25/UFly combo is great for commuters. It's nice only carrying 1 headset vs 2.

Apparently the harmony setup is new, they still don't have TSO approval from the FAA with no timeframe for completion.
I'm the opposite. The more obvious I can be that I'm busy listening to something the better. Perhaps a neon sign that says LEAVE ME ALONE on a big gold chain worn around my neck like Flava Flav would be the ultimate.
