The Sennheiser headsets used in AC (HME 64) are currently being modified with an improved cable made with a steel core instead of the original copper core. This is due to premature headset failure caused by the copper core breaking down.
Those leads don’t like being run over by the ATCO's chairs

With regards quality, pls raise it at the time with the controller. Could be a number of reasons. The mic on the headset needs to be 2 finger lengths away from the mouth and facing the mouth!!!
It's not easy to tell which way the mic faces when the wind "sock" is on but it makes a big difference to quality if it's facing the wrong way.
