Can you explain this a little more?

The headsets have a specific left side and right side, and the cord comes
out of one side only (can't be switched from one side to the other). You
can't comfortable wear the headset reversed, nor can you move the cord from
one side to the other.

So, depending on where the hookups for your intercom are in the airplane,
you'll have to have a cord dangling across your lap in one or the other
seating positions (unless there are multiple choices for plugging into the
intercom...that does happen).

IMHO, it's the main problem with the Lightspeed headsets. They seem like
such a good value; I've tried them and found them very comfortable
otherwise, and the ANR works well. But I switch back and forth too often
for me to consider them as my primary headset.

Interesting. I got into the habit of having the mic always on the left
side. When I started flying right seat, I never thought to switch. It
never bothered me.
