I had to chuckle at the name of the thread........Normally my headset location is on top of my head

Seriously, most rental planes I previously used had the plugs on the bottom of the panel on the outside edges of the panel near the door and I though that was the worst place - cable gets in the way for just about everything.

Put ours in the baggage bay; and, that makes it really nice to keep the cables out of the way; but, it is not too good if a person has to mess with the plugs while in flight.

Often though how it would work in the center on the console.
