I can't see that the location of the mic makes a difference. I absolutely
think the cord location matters - I hate a rats nest of cords in the
cockpit. That's one reason I seldom use the external antenna or the 12v
power cord for my handheld GPS.

Yes, headsets for crews are designed so that the microphone and cords can
be switched from the right to left side. Kind of like when flying from the
right side you use your right hand on the yoke and left on the throttle
quadrant.

The mike should be on the right side for the pilot on the right. EVERY
airliner is set up this way. Every corporate jet is as well. Lightspeeds
do not have this feature, and are designed for the left seat only.

Can you explain this a little more?
