Hmm, funny things headsets.

David Clarke are to headsets what Ray Ban are to shades.....

or Nike are to training shoes...........

or Levi's are to jeans.............. .

They have all been around a long time and have excellent marketing and advertising strategies but that does not necessarily make them the best.

I will not deny though that they are good.

I do own a set of DC's and wear them three of four times a week. I don't find them particularly comfortable and the cans seem so wide they hit the window when the going gets bumpy.

IMHO, I cannot recommend them as highly as the Flightcom's I used to have. Not sure if they still make them (is it Avcomm now?)

All Im saying is that you can save £100 by not paying for the name. That £100 could go towards an SA to GB conversion course for your RT so we can all understand you when you come back to fly at home!


Edited to say that I have just found the Flightcom website. They do still make the model I used to have. Its the BlackHawk model and it is far superior to the DC, and only £150.
