Headsets are not required to be TSO’d, in case anyone was looking at saving a few bucks.

As mentioned above, headset choice is really just dictated by personal tastes. I prefer over the ear, but I fly with a bunch of guys who like the in-ear kind better.

I was recently doing some research about this on APC; from what I read I was under the impression the E-170/175 used the 5 pin "Airbus" style plug not 6 pin?

I wrote Bose, but I meant David Clark. The David Clark ONE-X.

If anyone asked and also of the people that asked the slim chance they are serious I would point at the headset drawer.

DC Pro X w/XLR plug has been unreal.

You’re correct. I have the Bose A20 with 5-pin plug (airbus) and it fits in 170/175s. It’s the best $300 I’ve spent on a downlink cable. No battery changing every other 4 day trip. Plus I still have the GA plug for when I wanna fly outside of work.
