Your statement is just ridiculous. David Clark has unmatched quality,
durability, and customer service. While I think Bose does a great job
and makes an excellent headset, there is no way that the Bose headsets
will handle the abuse of a DC, nor have I heard reports of Bose being as
generous with repair/replacement as DC.

Having owned both DC and Bose headsets and had outstanding customer service
experience with both, I'd say the difference in customer service quality was
imperceptible to me. Both repaired headsets promptly with no charge, and
replaced other wear parts at the same time without prompting.

The difference in comfort and sound quality is noticeable, and I give the edge
to Bose. The DC I owned was not an ANR, however.

The Bose is way ahead of the Telex ANR I owned previously in both comfort and
quality.
