So buy the DC, deal with batteries and still wear ear plugs when wearing them? Not a great selling point if “ear plugs make it better”

Do what works for you on a loud turboprop. I’m just shocked to hear someone say how great the ANR is on a certain aircraft and then talk about using foamies with them, on a 737. I’m on the A320 and telex ANR works great. The 8+ is almost too much ANR for the plane’s noise

Weight, space taken up in my bag, no need to buy batteries, comfort (which is subjective)

I love my Bose but don't miss hauling it around. BT was ok for listening to music but I don't find it to be a killer feature.

The only appropriate Megadeth song to listen to on short final is High Speed Dirt

I like it extra quiet, and I like the treble-y edge taken off of the comms. Anyone else can customize (or not) as they see fit.
