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 think I’d actually like in-ears better, but my ears start to hurt after just 15 minutes of having iPhone earbuds in. Maybe I could get something custom-fit to my ear?

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.

Does the Embraer have a hot mic intercom? Do you guys keep your headsets on during cruise flight as well?

Yes and yes most don’t take them off

There is really no such thing anymore since the FAA letter. It's a relic along with keeping all electronics off until above 10,000.
