How so? Yes, I consider NOT having a headset a safety issue, but ANR
isn't necessary. Personally, I like being able to hear the engine.

ANR doesn't affect your ability to hear the engine, but the claims that
ANR protects your hearing better than passive attenuation have no proven
scientific support. ANR is little more than a comfort/convenience item,
and certainly not a safety item.
