For the price of a cable adapter, you can get a much lighter and nicer purpose built consumer headset. There is no reason to use an aviation headset for that other than wanting to project you are a pilot (or in F1?). Answer from CarbonCardinal on reddit.com

Best time/place to buy Bose A20 Aviation Headset
Buy it used. I got mine on ebay. Just be patient and wait for a realistic offer to be posted, or try your luck with bidding if you're into that process. Thats how I got mine for less than $600. More on reddit.com

r/flying on Reddit: Has anyone been flying with regular headphones with conversion kits?
April 21, 2023 -

Has anyone been flying with new headphones with ANC? Bose 700, Sony WH-1000XM5 or WH-1000XM4? How does the ANC compare to the Bose A20?
I am trying to figure out if it is worth to pay 1200-1300 Eur on A20 that I will use once every week/2 weeks for 2 hours when flying or to buy either Bose 700 / Sony WH-1000XM5 with a mic kit for 250 Eur + the mic kit and end up with some headphones that I can use day by day (I work on the computer 8-10 hours/day) and use them as well when flying.
Now I use some ASA headphones and after 2 hours I am pretty tired and my ears are kind of blocked.

There are quite a few conversion kits that I found:
https://uflymike.com/pages/what-is-harmony - about $310, works only with Bose Quiet Comfort (US based)

https://www.avee.no/product/avee-combination-kit/ USD$279,00 – USD$478,00 (Norway) - works with Bose QC45,700, Sony XM4

https://aviation.leosounds.de/Shop/en/product_info.php?info=p4_avmike-1-3-for-pilots.html works with Bose, Sony, about 200 Eur (Germany)

https://nflightmic.com/collections/nflightmic-store $250 - $350 pro (US based)
