Originally asked for an IFR clearance; did not receive; then asked for practice approach.  Got mixed up while on vectors for ILS approach from southeast to runway 35 into KFTG. Asked for Bravo clearance but coms were acting up. Flew into the Denver class B airspace at 9;500 feet about 25 southeast of Denver VOR without permission.
Asked for IFR clearance from approach; thought that we had received it. Asked for practice approach vectors to ILS 35 into KFTG. Asked for clearance into the bravo airspace on the approach. Thought we had it. Comms were acting up and had a hard time understanding approach. In the bravo shelf at 9;500 feet msl 25 mi SE of Denver VOR. Thought that we had clearance. No altitude deviation was necessary by our aircraft or any other aircraft. In future need to listen carefully on comms and get fully audible clearance into airspace identified by tail number.
SR-22 flight crew reported a communication breakdown while on practice ILS approach and entered into Bravo airspace without a clearance.
