I used the Telex 750 for my initial training flight in the Excel, and immediately ordered a Bose QuietComfort 2 and a UFlyMike adapter for it. The air noise in the Excel can get very loud, particularly around 300 knots. You'll need to wear earplugs with the 750, then turn the volume up so much that you get a feedback squeal every time you turn your head. It's awful.
I wish I had known this before my IOE tour on the Excel. I tried to use the 750 and it was EXACTLY as described above. Your choice - hear nothing but wind noise or hear but with feedback squeal. Either way your captain and ATC will be equally unimpressed.
I ordered the Bose/UFlyMike and am just finishing my first tour with that setup. I can't recommend it enough.
