Question Headset incompatability

Wonder if anyone has come across this?

I recently bought a Peltor 8006 headset for a number of reasons. The main ones being that my instructor uses them and I find them comfortable and not too expensive (yes, I am a scot). When I tried it the first time, it was OK when I was the only one plugged in - I could hear ATC perfectly clearly. However as soon as my instructor plugged his older Peltors in, the sound became very muffled. His are 7000 series I think.

My question is this. Is there a basic incompatability between these different models? Is it a Condenser/Electret Mike problem? or do I have a dodgy headset? wired wrongly? or something else?

has anyone had experience of this?
