Yes, I double-checked, and the switch position indeed has no effect on the
stereo coming from the aux port.

I've flown some more with it today, and there are couple of things I'd like
to add to my previous pirep.

1. the on/off switch position is not very well-chosen: the switch sticks out
a bit, and it is quite easy to move it inadvertently. In particular, it got
switched on while being shifted around in the bag. The set ships with its
auto-shutoff switch off, but I think I'll start using this feature.

2. got a better feel for the ANR. Weirdly, you seem to hear more noise with
it, but it is ...uhmm... less "dense". I'm sure someone with a better grasp on
acoustics will be able to explain this, but the feeling I was getting was
that there's actually more noise penetrating the ear, but it's kinda
flattened, and not as pounding on you. This reduces fatigue quite a bit:
I've flown it for just couple of hours, but the difference was apparent.
Also, the sidetone seems clearer than I remember it in 13.4.

So, now I can add my c2 on the issue of "being able to hear the charts":
I was able to hear more noises with ANR on, but they seemed stripped of
most of their weight. This did not reduce their clarity, only the amount
of "pounding" they produced on the ears.

Andrey,

6. ENC eliminates most of the audible low-freq humming, but
adds (or makes audible) some high-freq hissing.

That hiss is normal for ANR headsets. Read the ANR tutorial at
www.anrheadsets.com (Lightspeed) for the reason.

9. in stereo mode, com audio goes to the left ear only.

That's normal if you plug a stereo headset into a mono intercom. It's
the reason for the switch on the headset. However, music piped into the
headset's music input should be stereo regardless of the switch
position. If it isn't, the headset is junk.
