My background is in electrical engineering & computer science. What
bothers me is the fact that I did not really abuse the headset, In fact, I
treated them very carefully.

Yep, that was my experience, too -- with the older models. They would just,
well, *break*, sitting in the plane. One minute they would work, the next
flight they wouldn't.

VERY frustrating.

All is well now, thankfully, with their later models. (For me, anyway.)
