Honestly I use my A20s in the Bus. I like em.

I got a pair of telex 850’s for cheap on eBay then bought the UFQ airbus adapter on amazon for $30. Works great!

Save your hearing. Wear an 850 ANR throughout the flight and you can still hear the guy when he takes his headset off.

My car on the highway is louder than a NEO in cruise.

never found the airbus to be loud, when compared to 737, 757 etc.

I use my A20s on the bus. I can’t make out the speaker very well with them off. Not all busses are created equal, some can be quite loud.

In cruise, yes. When you’re with a knuckle head who likes to climb out at CI99 and 330kts and the plane sounds like it going to come apart, the ANR headset is great

The Bus in cruise sits between 72-76db. Most cars are about 68-72db. Either way, it’s almost at the point that hearing could be effected over the course of a career.

The bus isn’t a loud airplane, but the air vents are plenty loud and the speakers are garbage. I like wearing a headset, but am forced to leave one ear open......for now.
