When you receive it - make SURE that you take the student headset and tie wrap the rigid microphone stem tightly to the cable at the top of the stem. That way when the student uses the cable to pull it out of their helmet (and you should make sure they know to NOT do that) - the cable doesn't tear/pull out leaving you with a dead headset and paying for a not-so-cheap replacement. They WILL yank on the cable - so plan on it and make it bulletproof.
The wires to the headsets are more fine than you can imagine. Re-soldering them is not a project I'd recommend planning on.
If you are a student - considering buying your own in-helmet headset that will just quickly plug into the instructor's Chatterbox. It is:
> MUCH more comfortable for you (fits much better)
> Doesn't cause wear and tear on your helmet liner - as caused when you push and pull the standard one in and out
> Gets you on track faster once the instructor gets in.

I've been thinking about getting my own in-helmet headset. Can you provide a link? I'm not sure what I need. Thanks.
