THomas,
Have you tried the 20- series. They are not clamps. the 10- series was.
David clark focuses on making the best headset they can. Not ones with
cute features.
Pure, basic, simple, bullet proof headsets.
How is DC's latest ENR headset inferior to say Lightspeed current offerings?

Dc's are pricey but they have the best service in the business in my

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 ;-)
