I don't rate DCs myself. They seem to have a habit of interfering with almost every other brand of headset. With a few exceptions they're heavy, agricultural things which clamp your head like a vice. I bought my set when I was a student, because "everyone else had them". Big mistake; they were crap. Sure, you can throw them around and they won't break, but personally I prefer just to take care of my kit. The £70 Skylite sets I bought off eBay to throw in the back for pax were preferable to the DCs in almost every way!
Got a Bose set for a very good price shortly after qualifying, and I'll never, ever go back. Very light, very comfortable and the noise reduction is excellent. The best I've ever tried, by a mile.
