Newer 320's don't require them. Standard Mic and headphone jack found in other aircraft. You can buy an adapter if necessary. I'd check first. Also, the bus is pretty quiet. No one really wears a headset above fl180.

While its true that the bus is quieter than most other aircraft, that doesn't mean its quiet.
I know quite a few guys that wear the UFlyMike. You can get the airbus adaptor for it if you want. Either way, its a Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headset, and then you attach the mic to it. Its amazing how much quieter things are with one of those on (the radio can be turned down to the lowest setting, and its still easy to hear).
If cost is really an issue for you, than get some ear plugs, and just wear those. Works fine, cost is usually $0 (airline provides them).
Sennheiser makes some good ones too. There's an ALPA discount.
