Default Which DC Headphone is best choice?

The DC H10-40 (wire boom with M7 electret element) is still available.
They do not advertise it, however.
I prefer the wire boom to the flex boom.
The wire boom can be moved closer to ones mouth and will remain in
position better than the flex boom of the the -13.4.



My first (and primary) headset is a DC H10-80 which is no longer made. It has
the flex mike and although the headphone part of the headset is all I could ask
for, the flex mike isn't. Like you said, it has a bad habit of easing away from
your mouth.

I have since added a H10-40 clone from Marv Golden to my flightbag for friends
to use. I happened to try it out not too long ago and found its wire boom mike
worked much better than the mike on my much more expensive David Clark headset.
A very well spent $80.
