So, I acquired a spare DC H10-30 headset from a kind gentleman who had some laying around. I was planning on buying them from him, but they appeared inop when we tested them in his plane. He was kind enough to simply give them to me so that I can send them off to get repaired (his guesstimate was about $180, about what I was gonna pay him anyway)
Gave them a quick try out of curiosity in my club's 152, and after some fiddling with the connectors they seemed to work just fine, until the mic started cutting out and eventually caused annoying noise with movement, sounded like a bad solder joint or failing wire, etc. The headphones never had an issue though.
I've never sent a headset in for repair, any idea what it may cost to have this fixed? Or would I need any special/proprietary tools to open 'er up and see if I can test/repair them myself? I know my way around a soldering iron pretty well, and if I can fix it cheaply myself I'd love to pay the aforementioned kind gentleman for the merchandise after all.
Thanks
