Verbal traffic alerts indeed work very well. While SD algorithms do a good job in reducing the number of traffic alerts to those that are truly relevant, more often then not the odd traffic warning competes in the headset with

- SD's airspace and obstacle warning
- and radio traffic from one or more monitored frequencies

It would be a great idea to 'pan' the stereo image of the verbal alerts? Typically, the radios come in mono, i.e., dead centre. Readability of parallel messages could be much improved if airspace warnings came slightly, say, from the left, and traffic warning slightly from the right. 

... by the way: many radio (especially those which integrate a dual channel intercom) does have an external audio input (where it's easy to connect the audio output from SD device), but it is almost always mono, so in that case the spatial separation (even if feasible) effect would be vanished by the radio circuitry itself

There is a generic way to connect ("pair") a stereo tablet computer (such as an iPad) with a Bluetooth-enabled stereo headset (such as the Bose A20). You can then listen to stereo sound from your iPad on your ANR headset. This can be your favourite music. Or your favourite navigation app.
