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 😆

Well to do that you’ll need blue jeans and polo shirts!

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!

If there’s a Bose outlet near you they probably have the A20 on sale there. Mine does.

I do! You just need to get the 5-pin adapter and it's awesome. The old NW 320s have God-awful loud circulation fans and I would wear the A20 for the whole flight, but 99% of guys take the headset off through FL180. The 319s are quiet but the engines are very loud until the low teens. On the 321s the A20 is overkill, with ANR on you don't hear anything at all.

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

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.

Unboxing/review video here.
Why would you consider a non-TSO headset? We are not allowed to use them.
