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.

Well, don't buy them. You obviously own the perfect headset already.

So what advantage does the Bose have over these and the new DC?

It's a Bose ;-) Not sure, I don't own one.

It's simply that my BS detector goes through the roof when DC brings
out a headset with this feature set in the year 2006 (!) and someone
claims it is somehow new, innovative, sensational or a "Bose killer".

DC is pretty much the leader in aviation headsets, and for good reason.
Contrary to your opinion, the reality is that they make a great product
at a fair price and--in the rare case you may need customer
service--they stand behind their product, often exceeding expectations.

Unfortunately, I don't see the DC X11 as a "Bose-killer." Maybe if it
were at the $500 price point, it would be a "Bose-killer" if the
performance and comfort were as claimed.

Jonathan,

Can you point to a market analysis supporting that claim? I'd be really
interested.

They are a leader in aviation head clamps. They don't lead in anything
else. h
Haven't for a long time. They are the Narco of headsets.

How about going to affordable - so you can get one for your spouse as well.
(Try: "OK for me to spend 1 AMU on a headset but I can't afford the same for
you!") Buy the DRE-6000, $292.95 from Aircraft Spruce (part number
11-00543). Includes carry bag and ship's power plug. Also runs on two 9V
batteries for ~50 hours. Excellent sound quality on both radio and
intercom. I just ordered a second unit for my wife after she tried it in
the air yesterday.

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.
