Do most guys leave headsets on the entire flight on the 320?

Great. I’ll fit right in. I’ll just take the money I would have spent on a headset and get some new white New Balance sneakers, a braided belt, and some cargo shorts. I want to make sure I blend in with all the other pilots on the European layovers 😆

I noted this earlier. When I called them to take advantage of the offer the sales rep told me that aviation headsets were not eligible for the Delta discount. If somebody else had a different experience I'd love to know since that's an expensive ass headset.

I purchased through the program with a discount. You have to follow the directions and make sure you are speaking with the correct person.

Thank you. Did you have any luck verifying your employer via email? I got the email via Deltanet but when I clicked on the link I kept getting an error. Tried on different browsers with the identical error.

I don’t recall any issues. It was a year ago and I can’t remember what color socks I wore yesterday!

I wore the ship headset once on OE and thought it was absolute garbage.

If I were to consider a non-TSO headset, it would be the UFQ L2 "Hi-Lite." It's basically the form factor of a Clarity Aloft with the ANR of a Bose. Check eBay, though - they're cheaper there, and sometimes there's a "Make Offer" option where you can get it below list. I have some of their other headsets for GA flying and they're pretty impressive, especially considering the price. You can get it with a Boeing/GA, Helicopter, Lemo or Airbus plug. (But regardless, it needs 2 AA batteries for the ANR.)
I bought one of these, but haven't had a chance to fly with it yet. Out of the box, the build quality seems on-par with Clarity Aloft. The ANR seems impressive, too. (Tested with my wife's hair blower! ) Looking forward to trying it in flight. Will be so nice not having a headband over my head!
UFQ said they would pursue TSO certification for the L2, but I don't know if they'll have any better luck than UFlyMike. I'm not sure if UFlyMike's delay is company problem or an FAA/bureaucratic problem, or some combination thereof.
