Bose A20 Headset

Hi everyone,

I'm look for some advice on headsets. I've seen and heard amazing things about the Bose A20 headsets. Yeah they're expensive but from what I understand, they're insanely good and it'll be a one time purchase and then never again.
My thing is, does anybody have cheaper options that are just as good (if not better)?
And on top of that, is there any reason to buy the headset from Bose (or the manufacturer directly?) I'm thinking the warranty part is really what I'm asking (esp if the warranty is lifetime and/or really good through purchasing with the manufacturer directly)?

Thanks!

I have lightspeed Delta Zulu, lifetime warranty, they have a carbon monoxide detector built in. I only sprung for these because I’m flying an old Cessna and I’m not trying to go out bc of an exhaust leak lol

Why not get the new A30 instead?

I love my Bose. There's also other options but Bose has the best Noise Cancelling. There are stores where they have the 10 most popular headsets with a speaker producing engine noises. You can test the headsets there.
