Isn't "stirring the pot" what the Usenet is all about?

I have the DC H20-10 headset and I am pretty much happy with it. There is a
small "quirk" where the volume of my voice is low when I transmit but that's
not a big deal. It doesn't happen with other headsets so I am assuming it's
the David Clarks. When I looked at the price of the ENC H20-10's the price
of over $600 for less active noise cancelling than its competition made me
look at the alternatives. From the responses to this post, it seems that
Lightspeed has "fixed" its hardware quality issue. Whether it will last 10
years like some David Clarks remains to be seen but even if you take comfort
out of the picture, the increased performance, lower price, and same initial
quality of the lightspeeds make it worthy of my investment.

Thanks for your 2 cents!

I'm not trying to stir the pot but I looked at several ANR headsets. I
was only able to try them at the demonstrator board at a pilot shop at
LNS, Lancaster, PA. Performance wise I'd have to say that in the pilot
shop they all worked well. As far as comfort, my mother was right - I
have an iron head. None of the headsets felt uncomfortable. None of
them really stood out as extremely comfortable. I ended up with a pair
of david clark 10-20xl's. They are without a doubt the most solidly
constructed. Even the spring loaded jacks that attach the cables to the
battery box are impressive. I was also concerned about all of returns
I've read about of the other brands. It's nice to hear that
manufacturers like lightspeed stand behind their products but the
failure rate seemed too high. You may spend more for david clarks but
the amount of time spent boxing up and returning broken headsets also
has value. One other nice feature with the 10-20xl's, you can use the
battery box, one 9volt with auto-shutoff, or have the panel kit
installed. Right now I'm using the battery box but I plan to add the
panel kit.
