one thing i would say get with most of the headsets is gel ear pads
I agree. All my DCs have had these and if you add cotton covers they are very comfortable (and washable). I agree that DCs are perhaps slightly heavier than other makes, but they are very strong and well made. Mine are 20 yrs old and still look and work like new.
I also agree that Bose headsets are better but are 3-4x the price.
The overall best though are
clarity aloft, which fit in your ears. Better noise reduction than Bose and lighter than anything else.
