Lightspeed Battery Box Warning

wrote:

Slightly off topic, but I was wondering if anyone's got any
thoughts on Lightspeed's Solo and Cross-country headsets. Different form
factor, and not as active. They seem pretty flimsy by the pictures, but
the passive on the X-C (along with mild active) seems like a winner to me.
Anyone used these?

I currently have the Cross Country. I had an original 20K, then the
25XL. The Cross Country is better in all respects except one. It does
not have the auto shutoff feature. It is much more comfortable, it is
quieter and best of all it is not bulky like the ones with that god
awful big foam ear seal and head band pad. The big foam ones always
felt a little flimsy to me, the Cross Country is put together a lot
better.

The XC-2 does have that, I believe. If I try to get a new one,
that's probably what I'd do.

It looks (from the pictures) that the little wires that hold the
earpieces to the headband seem flimsy. Not true?

Thanks,

Nope, they are great. Plenty strong.

What happened to the 20K and the 25XL?
