Ugh! Why do they all fail at mic design so bad? Something that has been mastered for decades. It blows my mind.

The left earpiece on mine has a different screw type than phillips for some reason. I think it’s a kind of hex screw but I have hex heads and none worked. Strange that the left and right earpieces use different screws.
