Both the Aviation-X headset and the QC-2 (I have both) are well-designed and work very well.

I suspect the newer the model you get, the lower the quality will be (this always happens as companies cheap out and try to cheapen the production of a brand in order to increase profit margin by taking advantage of a given product's reputation).

The new stuff is all made in China now too - virtually nothing is made in MA anymore.

However I cannot say I've had any problems or issues per se with either of mine other than the batteries tend to run down quickly and without power/batteries either headset is inferior to plain-old passive counterparts - so make sure to keep the batteries charged.
