It actually a matter of the airlines OPSPECS. The feds publish TSO guidelines for headsets, then the airlines choose to put that requirement in their OPSPECS making it a legal requirement, there are a few airlines that do NOT require them. SKW for sure, i think Jetblue also doesnt require them.

Let's split hairs.... because this is APC 
Read the wording under FOM 7.2.5 under Required Flight Crew Equipment
So use your own non-TSO headset and make sure a TSO'd headset is available and accessible that you supplied and maintained.
By that wording, I don't see where it states shall use or wear/don a TSO'd headset...
And it states his... so our female pilots are exempt?
I mean. It also states we need to carry the spare battery around. But it doesn't say it needs to be charged to any level!

There are spares available in the plane that you can use for a faa line check. It seems that they only care about the old uflymike that needs the earbuds. They don't bother people about the lightspeeds and probably wouldn't notice the clarity alofts either.
That being said I have the TSOd version of the clarity aloft and I like it.
