Pros: Works fine - when it's new
Cons: No product support / Fragile construction
Review:
Telex 5x5 ProIII Headset: Worked fine for 1 1/2 years in a B737. Failed one day without warning. Went to Telex website, and sent an e-mail requesting instructions for service (it's out-of-warranty). They never replied. So, I took it apart myself. One wire was broken from the speaker assembly. The wire was MUCH too small a gauge - smaller than it needs to be. There was no strain on the wire - it just broke due to vibration (in and out of flight case?) SO - no product support, and weak design. Expect a year and a half....

Pros: Fits fine, good sound quality both ways
Cons: If it works...
Review:
I have received my first 5x5 about one and a half years ago. Right after warranty expired mic stopped working. I ordered a new one. After about 1 month of use this time earphone went off. If you want to use this product always have a back up headset in your flight bag.
