Question about Lightspeed 3G?

Ok, so look at the headset again. Now, what do you think those little
inscriptions on the earcups saying "left" and "right" are supposed to
mean? Then, tell me how you'll make the left cup sit on your left ear,
the right cup on your right ear, and the boom coming from the right.
See? Told you so.

Didn't see my previous retraction, eh?

This was undoubtedly true with the older, "pre-3G" Lightspeed headsets. I
sent my 15s and 20XLs back more times than I care to remember...

Since the Twenty 3G models, however, they seem to have solved their quality
control issues. Our three pair have been absolutely bulletproof.

Wish I could share your experience. Unfortunately, I spent a half hour
two days ago replacing the blue band connecting the two ear cups because
it had snapped in half. I honestly do not know how that happened but I
would guess it occurred at some point after being stuffed in my flight
bag. This kind of damage would not have occurred with either DCs or the
Bose.

I have yet to tackle the problem with the loose mic boom. After
removing the foam cover, I noticed a silicone bead that must be broken
to remove the speaker to get at the nut holding the mic boom. I do have
LS's blessing to open the ear cup, but since I am hesitant to break the
silicone bead and possibly introduce a problem with the ANR, I think
I'll send these back for the repair instead.

This will be the fourth time I had to return this model for some type of
repair.

Wow -- that sounds like our old Lightspeed 15s.

Our Twenty 3Gs are treated pretty tenderly, compared to yours (i.e.: The
flightbag treatment) -- but that never seemed to prevent our older
Lightspeeds from breaking all the time. The new designs are much more
robustly designed.

As I stated, our three pair of Twenty 3Gs have been completely trouble-free.
