The Bose-Killer

And now David-Clark unveils it's "Bose-Killer". The X11 headset. Cell and
music input, light weight and folds up nice and neat for storage. 799.00.
Marketing really screwed up there. Only 799.00...must be just ok. Should
have made them 995.00 and let our imaginations go crazy at wondering what
magical technology must be installed to justify the price. I bet the "X" in
the name is no coincidence either.

Hmmmm... shipping late July? Why, that means they will be introduced at
AirVenture '06!!! It's a stroke of marketing genius! I'll bet there will
be some special pricing.

Don't you just love competition? This is excellent news in the headset
arena.

Hopefully Bose drops their price and includes a cell/audio input in their
next generation of their headset.

While that would be really nice, what effect did the previous "Bose
Killers" have?

I've heard the "BK" term used for every other brand of cheaper ANR set
out there upon mass-market release.

Dang...and I thought I was being original.

Peter,

Tell me how that DC is different from the Sennheiser HMEC 400 (?), the
Telex Stratus, the Lightspeed Thirty 3G, the Pilot Avionics "whatever
model number" and all those others? Tell me why it is more expensive
than all these while offering exactly the same?

#1 -- It's not all cheap plastic;
#2 -- Company doesn't have a reputation for "great customer service"
because their headsets fall apart or have electrical problems;
#3 -- Is one heck of a lot smaller (low profile) and probably lighter;
#4 -- Folds for compact storage or transport.

There's probably a good #5 in somewhere, but I have to say: If I were
going to spend $800 on the DC X11, I think I'd just kick in another $200
and get the Bose. If I'm not willing to shell out $1k for the Bose, I'm
probably not going to shell out $800 for the DC X11, either. I'm not so
sure that the price point is a good one.

Kobra,

Only 799.00...


You're kidding, right?

This is the kind of headset Lightspeed, Sennheiser, Telex, Pilot
Avionics and all the other introduced years if not decades ago. At
lower prices. Some at MUCH lower prices.
