I don't notice the vice grip, and many competing headsets (such as the
Lightspeeds) are heavier. That said, DCs certainly aren't as
comfortable as the Bose X sets--I doubt that any other headset on the
market can match Bose's comfort.

My point is that the DC isn't outrageously overpriced for what you
get--a great quality headset and a company that provides excellent
support.


I've had my Bose for four (going on five) years and have not have the
slightest glitch, not that I abuse anything I own.

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

Jonathan,

Lightspeeds) are heavier.


From www.davidclark.com:
The two ANR models weigh: H20-10 22 oz./ H10-13X 18 oz.

From www.anrheadsets.com (Lightspeed):
Thirty 3G Weight: 15.8 oz

Take the time and do research before you post.

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

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.

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

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.
