Thanks for the input.
I just read about the Clarity Aloft. From what I understand, there's no ANR involved with those, instead it uses earplugs on each side with a tiny speaker inside each, correct? I love the idea of not having a clamp-style headset, just not sure how quiet they are... I'm told the 737-800 is pretty damn loud.
As far as your A20s, is it possible for those to be worn with the boom/mic on the right side? Or are the ear cups built specific for each ear and ur stuck with the mic on the left side (if u want the headset to fit perfectly)?
Interesting to hear about your 850s. That was my first option too until I read that previous comment. I've always used the regular telex (not the ANR set), but always used plugs with it and worked ok. Figured the 850s would've cut it.
