Lightspeed Aviation Zulu 3 ANR Aviation Headset - Premium Comfort GA Dual Plugs Pilot Headset - Maximum Noise Canceling & Bluetooth Technology for Exceptional Communication

Nice

I traded in my Bose X after Bose refused to repair a defective headset without charging me a full refurb price. Its been the best thing I could have done. My headset is more comfortable, fits better, and the sound quality is better too.

I bought my first Lightspeed Zulu about 9 years ago and use it for towing gliders while flying Piper SuperCub and Pawnee tow planes--no mufflers. A typical tow day includes 4-6 hours in the summer. The hearing protection is superb, and the comfort is the best.

Tried the Bose a20 and these are more comfortable and sound quality is right there with Bose and $300 cheaper.

Im a student helicopter pilot. This is the first headset that I have owned. Used loaner DC before. Did a lot of research before I purchased. Didnt let me down. I am very happy with my Zulu 3. Seems to be well made and durable. Its light and Its very comfortable. I connect it to FlightLink and it works terrific. The noise reduction system is amazing.

Ive been using this in a C172 and have been thrilled. The battery life has been excellent, the noise cancelling performs better than I had hoped, and the additional bluetooth and recording capabilities are all a nice bonus. Shipped promptly, received as expected, all at a competitive price.

Customer Service at Lightspeed was very unsatisfactory in my experience. I had my last Zulu sent in 4 times under warranty and they were unable to fix the ANC, and they could not come up with a better solution other than for me to buy a new one.

Pricey, but it’s the best. You get what you pay for.

Compared to Bose A20, this has slightly higher noise when the outside is quiet and is putting slightly more forces on my head (both heavier and stronger clamp). The earcup is also significantly bigger making it quite awkward to wear outside the cockpit which I do sometimes (the subway is actually pretty noisy).

Love the sound quality with ATC but the Bose has better sound quality for Sirius XM. Love the FlightLink and used it to record all my IFR training and other training with CFI’s so I have a library of great training audio I can use for review. I’m sure it save me $thousand in training and helped me advance faster in my flying work.
