What headset do you guys think is best for the 170/175?

Several things to consider. First, the cockpit is very loud. You will want an ANR headset. Secondly, you will be wearing this headset for 6 to 9 hours a day. You will want a headset that is comfortable. So that being said, whatever brand you find the most comfortable in an ANR model is the headset you want.

Can't be any louder than the 145, right? Do you guys wear them above 18,000? Or do some guys just use the speaker?

I'm fine with the 750s... Its not that loud granted it hasn't been long. Just finished IOE. Might change my mind.

I highly recommend the David Clark ProX. I've worn the Bose A20 and the Telex 850 in the E175. Bose is a great headset but a little robust to wear for 8 hours at a time (and very expensive). The Telex is much lighter but can hurt your ears and head after a few hours. Also, the noise canceling is weak and the speakers just plain suck. You will miss radio calls. I got the DC's just to try for a trip or two and now I can't recommend them highly enough.

Definitely not as loud as the 145 but not as quiet as the CRJ. I use 750s without ear plugs and think they're just fine. Usually take them off above 18k if the flights over 2 hours.

Check out AeroCrew Solutions. They normally have some scheduled that Compass goes to. Expensive, but worth it. I honestly think they would have offered me an interview on the spot if it wasn't for my idiotic decision involving alcohol. The recruiters are pilots and good guys to get to talk to about the direction of the airline and morale of the pilot group.
