King headsets are a beautiful thing but the Tange Levin really hits the sweet spot for price, longevity, and performance... have had Tange headsets last for tens of thousands of km with regular service and they still keep working.

There are other great headsets out there... Shimano makes very nice headsets and if you ever come across a Suntour / WTB greaseguard unit or Lazer this are fabulous but are no longer made.
