Agree. The Bose A20 mike is annoyingly loud with background noise. Of course, the majority of people who have them never turn their ICS off.

The comparable crappiness between the Airbus and 737 really decreased.

Or maybe I'm just slowly going deaf....
Twelve years in the 737, seven more to go. Nobody whispers on the 737 flight deck.
18 months ago I bought the A20 to replace the 850. I am very pleased with this solution. It is a bit bulky, but my future hearing is worth that cost.
