Compared to the "repaired" DC (that cost $100 in JUST repairs) it is. Obviously the DC is crap as it's worse than the $100 headset. ATC can hear me; I can hear them. Mission accomplished with $100 set. ATC can't hear me half the time; I probably can't hear them half the time. Crap DC headset AFTER repair.Yeah, 100 dollar headsets are awesome...

They aren't all terrible. I owned a pair of sigtronics S-20 headsets that were about $140 each. Not great, but they weren't awful either.
It would be hard to do a cross country in 15 minutes unless you used a Lear or something. My head is probably smaller than most of the guys though, so maybe being female has something to do with it. I've never felt the headset was uncomfortable (except maybe the heat with the plastic ear rings, but DC has though too.)Do you fly more than 15 minutes at a time? I would go without a headset if I was stuck with one of those 100 dollar jobs.
If ATC can't hear you or you can't talk to others in the plane without the sound going in and out AFTER they came back from repair then quite frankly they are CRAP. That's the whole point of having a headset, so you can have conversations with others (especially ATC) and if they don't do that what would you call them besides crap?For sure, hey have their uses, but I think calling DCs crap compared to them is kinda out there. I'm no DC fanboy either, I actually don't really care for them, but I'm a big puss.
They aren't crap, they're broke. Send them back an they'll prolly fix them for free or give you a new pair. If my truck had a flat tire I wouldn't go on the Internet bad mouthing Goodyear about how they suck when they're flat.If ATC can't hear you or you can't talk to others in the plane without the sound going in and out AFTER they came back from repair then quite frankly they are CRAP.

That's the whole point. I DID send them in for repair and they came back just as broken AND had to pay $83 (plus shipping there) to do it. Why would I spend the money to mail them in again if they couldn't figure out how to fix them right in the first place?They aren't crap, they're broke.

When I sent it in I told them it didn't work. I'm not willing to spend another $12 to send it back right now as I doubt it will come back any different than last time. Good customer service means you get it right without me having to send it back in. I may try calling them on Monday though.Did you actually try telling them they didn't work, or did you go straight to the Internet without actually trying to get the problem resolved?
Nice!I've got a set od DCs that are almost 19 yrs old and still going strong, not even a hiccup.
To me $83 is crazy! I only paid $100 for my first pair and they work great. Having to pay that much just to get them "repaired" is not acceptable. I really didn't h ave it at that time either, so it made it really hard.
ASA headset is better by far. Same molds as David Clark and a free pair if anything goes wrong.Yeah, 100 dollar headsets are awesome...
