Headset repair options
Hi guys,
I recently purchased a DC 10-13.4 headset from eBay but the mic was dead on arrival. The reason for me post is to get your opinions on the best way forward.
Option 1 - Order & fit a non-OEM replacement mic (e.g. Acousticom's M7A replacement for ~£35 from the US). I've struggled to find where to buy a replacement mic in the UK....any suggestions would be appreciated.
Option 2 - Take it to HSL for them to take a look at it, but then I'd probably need to sell one of my kidneys to be able to pay for it.
Option 3 - Send it back to DC in the States for them to fix. I've heard a lot of good things about their repairs (free ear gels & head pad...possibly free mic??) but then it's away for a while and I'm not 100% that they even deal with non-US customers directly.
As the headset was bought from eBay I don't know how old it is and the seller hasn't replied to my enquiry. I would have thought that it is out of its warranty period.
What would you guys do? I'm leaning towards option 1.
Thanks!
