I've used the Telex 5x5 for years with a homemade earplug earpiece, but I've recently been shopping for a better solution for both ears as we use the intercom now in the 737. I have to have a TSO headset per our FOM and the sticker shock on the CA was scaring me. I finally got some plastic tubing that is an air line for RC airplanes and a t connector. I use three tubes, one from the 5x5 for sound to the T, then one from the T to each ear terminating in a regular orange Howard leight earplug. I melt holes in the earplugs using a torch to heat a small drill bit, then plunge the hot bit into the ear plugs, but not all the way through. Fantastic sound quality and you can't tell you are wearing a headset. During the day I clip the mic to sunglasses, but at night right now I have to use the frame the 5x5 comes with until I find a better solution. I'm thinking of clipping it to my earlobe somehow.

I have used other pilots' UFlyMike/QC-15 combo that had a mike that stayed where you put it, so it's not a universal problem. But it has been a great source of frustration for me and my fellow cockpit crewmembers.
