Headsets for Spirit ships
What do people use? Ships headset or BYO? Do I need ANR (Bose, DCPro), or would a Telex 750 be fine? Do all the ships have XLR plugs?
I start in April, so have a few months to find a deal..

90% use the ship set and go topless at 18k. However none of the ship sets have wind screens on the mic so I bought a pack and carried them with me. Just put it on and off each time. If you want your own set it’s the usual 2 plug jack.

My 2nd kid started working on his pilot's certificate too, so my 2nd A20 has been repurposed. Wasn't looking forward to another $1095...

David Clark Pro x2 Passive
These are the ones I use. The passive noise cancellation is more than adequate for the Airbus, audio quality is good, no batteries to charge, decent warranty, and under $400.
