I don't notice the vice grip,


Maybe you don't have a fat head like the rest of us :~)


No, I don't, and honestly I think it's you fat-heads that do all of the
complaining about the DC fit. :-)


I don't abuse my headsets, but the point is that the Bose is certainly
less durable and more fragile than DCs.


Can you substantiate that beyond anecdote? From what I've read in this
thread, there is no support for that contention. As a matter of fact, I
recall some comments from another thread that DC is presently rather a PITA
to deal with.


It isn't difficult, all you have to do is pick up the headset. The
headset isn't cheaply constructed but it simply won't take the
industrial-strength abuse of the DC. I suspect that most Bose owners
are very careful with their headset.

The beauty of DC is that I've never had to deal with them because I've
never had a problem with their headsets (and I have 3 of them). They've
been banged around and survived all my flight training, in and out of
rental aircraft.
