Second is that every profession that is worth anything puts a high value on good tools. From mechanics to dentists. But not pilots, who will use any old crap headset and then complain about how hard it is to understand the controllers.
Third is that it does not take a PhD in Statistics to determine that old pilots can not hear very well. And that is not because of the hotel air-conditioning. This comes back to good tools, which not only help you do your job well but also reduce the risk of physical damage.
Rant over. Until I go back to work and have to keep telling the other guy what ATC said.

Not really, most pilots prefer to bring their own rather than share cooties. Few airlines provide headphones for pilot routine use. There's a spare for jump seater use but it typically does not have a mic.

Assuming you're in a jet, the Telex 750 is the gold standard. These are available used off eBay for under $50. Use with foam or re-usable rubber (my recommendation) earplugs such as these

offer exceptional noise attenuation for a bargain basement cost.
Zero need to finance a headset.
