two areas for improvements:
1. the boom itself feels too short when used with my headphones. There's limited room on the back of the headphones where i can attach the mic, limiting the reach. I ended up extending the length of the boom by unclasping it from the attachment, but tried to keep the bend at the end as recommended. A longer boom would make it easier to maneuver and eliminate this issue.
2. the rotation of the attachment is fixed at two angles. If a click rotation could be added to the attachment this would enable me to bring the mic all the way up past the headphone band and completely out of the way.
