Why David Clark is the best.

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.

Bose has excellent customer service also. I was flying a 210 a few months ago and went through some heavy turbulence and ended up putting a knee right through the mic jack and snapped it clean off. The only way it was together was by the wires inside. Still couldn't hear anything and dreaded the thought of having to pay more money to fix the headsets. Well I finally called up Bose and told them the story. The first thing after the story the operator asked me was my address. I was floored and stopped her in mid-conversation about the cost. She said not a thing, we should have the whole wiring replacement to you in 2 days. Now that is customer service. Its also good to hear that other companies are doing the samething. That will only help the products get better and hopefully cheaper to a point cause of all the high competition.

I recently have had two returns to David Clark. I have dealt with lightspeed, and flightcom customer service in the past and DC is far and away the best.
