They're not. I would advise against it.Our older Boeings (300's/500's especially) are quite noisy and that is probably why we are in the habit of wearing our headsets all flight. Our newer ones, especially the 800's are much quieter. I may have to try taking it off next time.
Yup, it's loud. I've not been on the 757 but I do know that on the 737 when I put on a noise reduction headset at cruise I can turn the volume knobs down about one third.A 738 at cruise altitude/Mach is about as loud as a 757 at 250kts. In other words, you can take off the head set at cruise and no big deal. It's the climbing and descending into/ out of low altitudes where it's loud. The newer 738s have little vortex generators just below the front windows that supposedly reduce wind noise (they don't)... also, getting rid of the eyebrow windows didn't help either. Let's face it, keeping the original 707 cockpit window layout = a loud design.
These came out last summer. Earplugs but with noise reduction. Extremely comfortable fit. This along with boom mic on aircraft have worked well. Great for deadheading of course.I wear earplugs the entire time the engines are running. I can hear the other guy fine 95% of the time. May look stupid but looks better than a hearing aid in 20 years.

Work great. Need an adapter plug from Radio Shack. Failsafe is reverts to normal audio if battery dies.Wow cool find! You wear these up front and it works well?
