Sorry to hear it. My 3 pair of Twenty 3Gs have been bulletproof.

For how long now?

Hmm. I think the freebie came at OSH '03. One I purchased at OSH '04,
and one a won at the Cherokee Pilots Association fly-in in '04.

So, not a terribly long time, but they show no signs of trouble.
(Which is radically different than my experience with the early
models...)

Sounds like the latest fix is a winner (knock on wood).

I used to have two pair of Telex that I loved, except the jack plugs kept
having a loose wire in one and a faulty speaker (or whatever it's called) in
the left muff...small problems, but when they cut out it was TOTAL. I had
them four years and both "died" twice.

Now I have three sets of Bose; one came with the bird when I bought it,
added two more because it was wired for Bose (and liked the one came with
it). This winter I'm likely going to trade out the Beech 36 (too big for one
or two, too small for five or six - the usual loads for us), so I might give
something else a try. I must say that I'm still gun-shy about Lightspeed,
though.
