Why David Clark is the best.

[CherryBomb]

If you ever have a problem with a BOSE headset, they will pay for overnight shipping and fix it for free. Even if its something as simple as the leather earpads wearing out...

But thats the least you should get for a 1000 dollar pair of headsets...

Have a pair of 13.4's for 9 years and they STILL work like new.

Pretty much all the headset manufacturers have similar customer service. DC is by no means the best in that area.

David Clark is the formost manufactuer of headache inducing head clamps that kinda block some noise

My feeling exactly... they're great quality and service, but they really need some work in the comfort department.

thats awesome! im still curious to see how their new x11 headset compares to the bose

Tested them today at NBAA, I would recommend them. ( All though I'm not trading my Bose for them). If your are looking for something comparable to the Bose, I think the price for these are in the $750.00-$800.00 range.

If your gonna drop that much on a heaset, might as well go all the way and buy the Bose. There's not a headset on the market (one I've tried, anyway) that would make me give up my Bose. I've got a DC H10-60 that Is my spare/passenger headset, and even with Oregon Aero earpads I cant wear it more than 2 hours at a time. DC may have good customer service, but they are by NO means "the best".

Thats what i figured, if youre going to spend the big bucks on headset might as well go all the way (bose). I was just curious as to see how the x11 compared to the bose

This thread makes me want to go out and buy a pair of Bose - except I haven't the loot for it. :bawling:

I really didnt either at the time. I took advantage of Bose's 12 month no interest payment deal they have. Kinda softens the blow. I figured I blew at least $85 a month on other stuff, and that's right around what the payments are. If I would have had to come up with the whole thing at once, I'd still have my ears clamped in my H10-60. The Bose is definitely an investment, but it's way cheaper than hearing aids a few years down the road.

I'm on my second DC in about 13 years, the first was lost in an office fire, the second was purchased with the insurance money.

A little while ago, the volume on both ear pieces started fading in and out, I traced the problem to a kink/break in the cord (probably from me wrapping the cord too tight around the thing when I'd jam it into my flight bag). Sent it off to Worchester with a brief explanation. About two weeks later, it comes back. New cord, new speakers in both ear cups, new volume adjustments, new mic and mic boom, new ear seals, new head piece. Just about everything was brand new except the actual ear pieces and the metal head piece. No charge.

Not a bad investment, considering I got the first one on clearance for about 150 bucks at an FBO.
