I should point out that I called ACS customer service and discussed the packaging and was not told the information below and therefore requested a replacement. ACS replaced the unit without question. Of course if they had told me about the packaging in the first place it would have avoided the hassle. Paul, I think that is what they are saying with this sentence. "Our customer service department exchanged the first unit for another one, and of course the second one looked just the same; they should have checked first and would have found that we get them bulk packed from the manufacturer" I would also like to say the I got a call from a customer service manager a couple of days ago to explain the situation. I thought this was good follow up on their part.

It is probably an omission in their discription, which Van's needs to be made aware of.

Works ok. Glad I did it. However, what I'd like to do, since I have a 2 pair of the QC2 for airline travel, is to "upgrade" them for use by passengers. I just don't know if they are good enough in that environment to warrant the upgrade. Anyone out there using them in an RV environment, I'd appreciate a pirep. I'll still use my DC's, or finally go with the Bose X.
