Headset for B787
 

The Bose A20 is probably overkill for a quiet B787 cockpit. Any recommendations?
I will only consider a TSO approved headset. Will not be needing it for commuting. Just for use in the cockpit.

Is a noise canceling model even necessary?

If you are on the 787 you can probably afford the Bose. Go ahead and treat yourself while the rest of us suffer with a Telex. All in good fun.

Look into the Clarity Aloft. Super lightweight and a big fan base.

Telex 750 and done.

Or the Telex 850 (ANR), which I use in the narrowbody Airbus during climb and descent.

Sorry, but who wants to wear any headset longer than takeoff to FL180?

Really appreciate the replies.

I own the Bose A20. Great headset, and has become headset of choice for many of the 747 crews, but the 787 is much quieter.

Sandpaper - have to wear something. Company provides a mini-tel, and we bring our own earpiece, so I would be with the "community" microphone! No thanks.

Clarity aloft. Telex 750. Telex 850. Three choices so far. Keep them coming please.

There's always the old standby Plantronics MS50, or the newer MS200.

Agree... Don't waste money or be anti social wearing the over ear headsets... Just pop out the ear piece and turn up the speakers and use the mic. ;)

Plantronics MS50 single ear. I use this up to cruise then speaker. Its what 99% do.

Have you ridden in the 787 up front. Its very quiet...I will repeat that. Its very quiet. It's not like the 737 or 320 or 757.
I would say bose though so you can plug it into your iPad for movies during your 6-7 hour break
