DC are better under g because of the higher clamping pressure. As I recall the headset alone was good for about +3/-1. If you stick the cable under your chest strap it not only keeps the cable out of you eyes, but makes it easier to reel back the headset if it comes off. Some guys make up elastic chin straps. The best thing is the DC cloth helmet. I've seen lightspeed headsets inserted in them, but they are really made for DC headsets. They are outrageously expensive for what they are, but its the real thing. A second had set of DC headsets bought off ebay from the US as a dedicated headset for aeros will be way cheaper than the cloth cap. Do the headsets inc conversion with the velcro battery pack and you'll have a nice unit.
