Need help in deciding in good headset

Steven,

I can't
recall hearing any about any other headset manufacturer.


Then I suggest you google this group a little. You'll both find reports
about most other manufacturers doing repairs for free as well as
reports on DC charging for repairs.

Buttman,

They
always seem to go out at the most inopportune times.


You have a point there. OTOH, two comments:

1. with a headset wired for ship's power, you lose the ability to hop
in a friend's plane and use your own headset.
2. changing batteries in flight takes all of 1 minute.

fyi - my DC ANR headset is panel-powered. However, I also have the
battery pack so I can use the headset in any aircraft.

That's a smart solution. Bose and Lightspeed don't offer that, AFAIK.
Not sure about Sennheiser, but I think it's either/or with them, too.

Time to get back to kindergarten, Stevie.

But ok, I'll do the research for you. Here are some examples. Yes,
that's what's called "backing up a statement".

Guess I ain't as lucky as some other folks here on the list, 'cause
DC offered to repair the headset for $79 + shipping (a 5-year
warranty time-span limit was mentioned in the "repair estimate"
e-mail
reply from a DC customer service representative).

Oh, good. Then it wasn't just me.

Simular story, although my story is dated as a couple of years ago. I
think the
era of DC "all fixed, no questions asked" policy is long past.

I need some help in deciding a wersatile headset.
my budget is 300 $

Thank u very much..

Pick up a used DC H10-40 somewhere for cheap and put in the noise cancelling
from Headsets, Inc. I have a set I did that to 15 years ago, still works
great!

Same thing happened to me in 1998. Sent my H10-13.4 back to them for a
bent plug. They charged me for the plug and shipping.

Or, you could use rechargeable batteries, keep some on trickle charge, and grab
a fresh set and install them before you take off. Not much effort involved, and
you don't have to change them during flight.

You can buy a panel-power cord and either/or the Bose too.
