people are always saying that a properly adjusted dura ace should last as long as a CK. but i really don't want to have to clean my headset every week, which is how often i would have to do it in the winter. after seeing how much crap gets in my headset i find it astonishing that a CK would last as long as people claim without maintenance.

i used to be in the camp of "how the **** can you spend that much on a headset." but now i'm not so sure. maybe i'll get one at some point in the future.
