Michelle,

Dc's are pricey but they have the best service in the business in my
opinion.
Michelle (owner of five DC headsets)


Well, that might make you kind of biased ;-) I am, too, I have a
Lightspeed. And, also from what I read here, I can't really see where
their service is less than DC's. I truly think the DCs are way
overpriced - you pay for the name. I know they will probably hold up
better to abuse for those of us who think they should treat a
500-$-plus investment like sh*t, but heck, you can buy a headset and
another replacement headset from most manufacturers for what you pay
for a single DC.

DC's ANR is clearly inferior to most "new-generation" (NG) headsets.
Most heads (mine, for sure) consider DCs less comfortable than NG
headsets - they aren't called David Clamps for nothing. Their feature
set is lacking, too (think music and cell phone inputs). For all that,
you pay a price way above most comparable headsets from other brands -
and you get a service that every NG headset manufacturer has to and
does match, if he wants to stay in business, since it is the gold
standard of the industry. So, in all, I just can't see the value
proposition.

Also, I wouldn't want to be seen dead wearing that puke green. But
that's a matter of taste ;-)
