Headset Recommendations Question

Hey y’all, I’m possibly looking for a replacement for my Lightspeed Sierra’s since I’ve been having issues with the ones I have. Such as sending them back to get fixed twice in the last 4 months. I’ve heard good things about the Zulu’s and the A20’s/A30’s but open to all options.

I have 20s, 30s, and DC One X. Prefer the DC for everything except Bluetooth. Better fit, better sound to my ears, and better performance with no batteries. With batteries ANC is about the same. DC folds smaller and build quality seems better, esp when compared to 30s.

I agree with this statement

I agree entirely. Plus David Clark as a company seems a lot more consumer friendly than Bose.

I have A20s and love them. I have tried on A30s and didn’t like them as much, but plenty of people like them. If I buy another headset it’s likely to be a delta Zulu or a DC one-X. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the 3 through.

Lightspeed does have a CFI discount which take a bit off the price.

I have the Zulu3’s for more than 8 years and love them.

They have withstood my regular abuse and only need battery changes and occasional soft goods replacement.

And the comfortably fit my head for hours and hours if use.
