Dave,

So really, what are your thoughts on the colour? For me, the green
(some call it "hospital", others call it "vomit") would be THE
overarching factor never to get one. What do you think?

I've owned three headsets. The first I bought was a DC 13.4. Served me
for many years and many 100's of hours, and is still in essentially as good
shape as the day I bought it.

The next was a Sigtronics piece of **** I bought for a low price for use
once in a while by pax. It was a total waste of even the small amount of
money I paid for it. Build quality just plains sucks.

The third was a (very expensive) Telex ANR set that I'm using now. I
really regret having fallen for the Telex marketing. I've only been using
it for about 3 years now and it's already been back to the factory twice
for repairs. The warranty is now up and I dread what's going to happen the
next time it breaks. Every time I change the batteries, I look at the
****ty plastic door on the battery compartment as I force it closed and
cringe, knowing that one day it's going to break off in my hand, and Telex
will probably charge me big bucks to fix it.

Green may be ugly, but it's a beautiful kind of ugly.
