Still, George may have got a faulty headset, those things do happen,
albeit rarely with Sennheiser from what I hear.

If that's the case, I got two of them, though it's possible that only one has a
problem with the microphone. I have difficulty understanding ATC, which I do not
have with my old Sigtronics or my new Bose X. I used them when taking a friend
flying, and the conversation between us contained a lot of variations on "Huh?".
I recall his voice sounding exactly like someone using the Peltor 7004, which
I also own (I use it for children).

A few months after wasting my money on the Sennheisers, I walked into the Bose
booth at Oshkosh with my Sigtronics in hand and told them "If your speakers
sound as good as these, you've got a sale." After a short session with their
intercom, I walked out with a set of Bose X.
