My first (and primary) headset is a DC H10-80 which is no longer made. It has
the flex mike and although the headphone part of the headset is all I could ask
for, the flex mike isn't. Like you said, it has a bad habit of easing away from
your mouth.

My set is 17 years old and doesn't have this problem. But I bet if
you contact DC they'll fix it for you.

As an aside, I converted mine to ANR about 10 years ago. They just
keep on chugging.


Interesting comments on the flex mike. I've only used one on a DC once
and thought it was more difficult to position and keep in place.

I don't think I can justify ANR for the low hours I fly. I can't say I
have a problem with a standard headset.

I'm still looking at options but I see some have an option for
cellphone which I presume will work with an audio checklist which
would be useful? The SoftComm C-80 BNE has this option but it appears
to be a flex boom. Looks slightly different to DC but is it any
better/worse?
