This is a good example of why you should rent for awhile. In a small
plane, it is a nuisance to have the mic boom on the outside, bumping
the window. Also, as mentioned, planes have the jacks in different
places, making the wire routing an issue. Try before you buy.

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.
