Thank you Chuck for your continued help. Previous to the VXi Parrott I owned
end earlier model of some VXi mike -  not sure which model - roughly the
same - and I have both of them side-by-side right now -  and I am noticing
that the Parrott  plastic piece that meets the metal head band is quite a
bit thicker ( so hopefully it is sturdier) than the previous model  ...
Which eventually broke - rendering the Mike fairly useless - even after I
tried to repair it with tape.
