See my post on ras. I don't get a good feeling about the Featherlites.
When I initially researched headsets on EBay months ago, I found alot of
"off-off-brand" headsets with the same mannequin modeling them. I'd worry
about the sound quality, not to mention construction quality. If you're
coming off of David Clarks, these Featherlites might sound muddy. You're
actually at a disadvantage because you'd be comparing your new sets to
higher quality DCs and you may notice decreased intelligibility of ATC,
which is not good. My suggestion: see if you can find one or two suppliers
who'd let you return headsets that don't sound good to you. That's not
happening with any EBay seller. DRE and Softcomm are well accepted. I
bought the DRE 1000s as my first set.

Sorry everyone, seems there was another thread already started today
on a similar topic.. That'll teach me to post before updating my
newsgroup readers current posts. Duh.

Anyhow, if anyone has an opinions on the Featherlite's in particular,
I'd really like to hear it, as I'm definately leaning towards them.

Or if anyone else is interested, this website in Australia is offering
David Clarke headsets for free, apparently:

I stumbled upon that via Google a few minutes ago..

A goofup I'm sure, but if anyone actually gets a few free sets, I'd
appreciate one. I'll even pay shipping! grin
