Default Lightspeed Headset Update

They've fixed all that with the new models. The 15s, 20s, 15XLs, 20XLs, and
25XLs are all their "old" models. They had known durability "issues" with
those models that have been corrected in all of their new models. (The 3G
series).

I've owned 'em all, and can attest to it.


As a one-time owner of a 3G headset, I disagree. In the fifty hours I used
these headsets, they went back to Lightspeed four different times (Google
archives has my original post about this). To be fair, this could have
been due to the "version 1.0" theory, but still, it was the final straw for
me.

I switched to Bose and have used them for 400+ hours. The only repair
required was a replacement of the foam earcup pads after about 300 hours
due to normal wear and tear. Bose customer service told me that these pads
typically require replacement every 150 hours or so and, despite the fact
that the pads are normal wear items, Bose sent me a replacement for free.
