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

Serious upgrade from my David Clarks. I dont use the Bluetooth so I cant comment on that but the noise canceling is awesome, they are light and comfortable and they amplify the radio audio a bit. Stereo is great with Garmin 3D audio and they auto shut off after 5 minutes of silence so if you forget to turn them off, it wont kill the battery.

Nothing more to say about this generation of headset other than AWESOME! I have no issues with the boom on the mic being too short. Overall a 5 in comfort, 5 for audio, and a 5 for finish. Great product at a excellent price. This is 3rd set....now I just need one more and I will have Lighspeed Zulu all around!

This is my first Active Noise Cancelling headset, I am impressed with how well it works. The auto-shutoff feature saves batteries, too. This is a first-rate product.

As an older pilot with some hearing loss at higher frequencies, it is important to minimize noise and maximize the sound quality of incoming transmissions, esp. from fast-speaking ATC. The headsets fit nicely over my hearing aids. Compared to my prior use of non-APR cheaper headsets, I am able to hear calls clearly, no longer occasionally missing a word or two or being unsure exactly what was transmitted.

I had the Zulu 1s for my first solo all he way to my 1st-3rd job as a professional pilot, put a few thousand hours on them, traded for the Zulu 2s few thousand hours, just got my 3s.

I had used a pair of the original Zulu in my very noisy Husky for about 8 years, and they were getting rather grody. I learned of the trade up policy at Lightspeed and took advantage to buy a Zulu 3 replacement for the most forlorn of the pair. I have now had the good fortune to have used the Zulu 3 for about 30 hours between my copilot and myself (alternating with a Tango headset). I love this Zulu 3 headset!. They are light, far more comfortable, quieter and less twitchy than the originals. With very limited space in the front office of the Husky, I like the wireless Tangos but for comfort, reception, and all around utility I would probably use the Zulu 3 if I didnt love my rear seat co-pilot so much. She loves them too.

This is my second Lightspeed headset. I tried the Bose A20 and prefer the Lightspeed Zulu 3’s fit and feel over the A20’s.

We have four Zulus, the Zulu three being the newest. They have provided superb service. We recently upgraded to a Garmin 345GTX ADS-B in/out transponder. The shop which performed the installation indicated that some owners with other ANR headsets including Bose had noise from the GTX 345 injected into the headset, but this is not a problem with the Zulu.

Alles bestens!

ANC works great on a DA-40. Slight thumpy noise with the little window flaps open, but once closed up its very quiet. Build quality is great. Clamp force can be adjusted by gently bending the top band slightly. Comfortable, with very nice build quality.
