Bose pro flight has said feature. Double tap the bud=hear through.

it’s kinda crappy, though. I found it’s just as easy to hear through the ANR as to use the tap through, since the signal-to-noise doesn’t improve much (really, gets worse) with the tap-through function.

A20s are heavy. Looking at upgrading to something light, but has Bluetooth and good Noise CNX. Folks complain that the in ears hurt after a short while. Thanks

Please don’t do those…the gain is too high and most of the time I have to lower the intercom volume and when the other pilot talks it’s not too loud.

If you’re going to spend money, spend on the real deal, not a half way solution for work and commute.

It’s your headset, you payed for it, it’s personal choice. But IMO, it does not work as great, also the green flashing light from the QC bothers at night the other pilot peripheral view.
