[QUOTE="ogopogo, post: 1367293, member: 87115"] The gel seals are nice, as good as any headset I've worn. And the cups are shallower. One helmet might be easier than another so that might make the choice for you. I think I could do a second installation in less than half the time, mostly because I'd be less timid about the foam cutting. So worst case, if you decide to do all three... :) Some things I thought of afterwards - It might be worth fabbing a simple caliper out of cardboard or whatever to measure head width and shell width to determine available space. It could also be used to measure the outside width of the cups on your head. From that you could make a width template which would help with deciding how deep to carve, instead of putting the helmet on and off so many times. The other thing is some means of marking ideal initial cup position. Chalk your ears? :) I made good use of some self adhesive velcro I had on hand - to replace the kit pieces when I re-positioned, on the cheek pads where I cut away some fasteners, and on the mic mount. While the helmet was on the operating table (wadded up sheet) I got rid of the hokey clamp on my intercom by attaching its mounting base with a couple of small nuts and bolts. [/QUOTE]
