I purchased the UFlyMike combo for the QC25s the day they came out. This was about 2 years ago I believe, AFTER waiting years for them to finally even finish the product. So two years later, and they still aren’t TSO certified. While the UFlyMike Harmony setup is fantastic, don’t expect much from the company itself. Their promises and timelines mean absolutely nothing.

I am going to call the companies to verify, but I'm pretty sure Bose and DC have Delta discounts, not sure about Clarity Aloft. If they all have 30 day trial periods I think I'll just buy them all and return 2, anybody else done something similar? Considering the DC Pro-X, Bose ProFlight, and Clarity Aloft Flex; 3 different manufacturers with 3 different styles of headset.
Curious if anybody else here has done this kind of test and how the return process worked out for them.

EDIT: just called Bose, they don't honor the discount on their headsets
EDIT 2: In case anybody else is interested, DC has a 4 week and Bose has an undetermined length back order so you'll have to get those 2 from a 3rd party vendor.
