For me a G2 with wider FOV would be the ticket....
I haven't had any issues either but I zip tied my G2 cable to the headset like the G1. Still kept my G1 for back up just in case but so far smooth sailing (knock on wood)
To be honest the G1 was fine and although the G2 is a slight improvement visually for me the best thing about it is the headphone setup. Much nicer than the on the ear of the G1. I took those off and ran headphones.
