Wasn’t a big deal until we had a medical issue and were trying to communicate with medlink. Capt just had the ear dick and was constantly having to ask them to repeat themselves, while I could understand them perfectly fine. Also they were having a hard time hearing him because of the tIn can sound that some of the aircraft boom mics have...... Again I shared your sentiment until I converted and now I wonder what took me so long and would definitely never go back.
