LIGHTSPEED Zulu 3 Premium ANR Aviation Headset with Noise Cancelling and Bluetooth (GA Dual Plugs)

Comfy and very well made and clear GA headset.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I give this headset 5 start. The noise canceling quality is excellent. Fits great on my large head. Mid weight but much lighter and more durable than my old headset. Comes with a hard carry bag which is nice. Headset has braided Kevlar cord which doesn’t kink and increased strength and flexibility vs standard cord Functionality:Great, does exactly what is needed Sound quality:excellent sound quality Weight:medium Value for money:good value Size:fits large head

Great headset, comfortable, noise canceling is awesome....only minor complaint is at this price point $899)...why not include a premium name brand set of batteries. I just chuckled as I opened the packaging and found this premium headset with a set of batteries that were "lacking in premium stature" only thing I could see that would improve this purchase process. Seems silly I know.....but gosh...$900 for a headset with a set of 25 cent batteries...just made me chuckle a bit.

Excellent headset for the price. Bluetooth and an app compatible for recording urself. Comfortable to wear for over 2hrs hobbs hrs flt. Beat Bose for the price. Great quality as well.

I bought a PFX previously and had to return it because of the problematic noise cancellation. The Zulu 3 retains the same high quality workmanship that I liked in the PFX, but the noise cancellation works fine. The cancellation does not seem to be as aggressive as the PFX. I am using these in a Van's RV-6. My cockpit is very loud with both low frequency engine noise plus high frequency wind sound. The Z3 does a very good job. The clamping force seems a fair amount higher than the Bose, and these headsets feel heavier than Bose. Neither is remotely objectionable. The higher clamping force is better, I think, for the higher noise environment.The ear cup is the largest I have personally used. My ears are pretty big, yet there is ample room.The headsets also work fine for music listening. I would not mistake them for even moderate quality audiophile headsets, but for listening to music while flying along, they are fine -- noticeably better than most. I did not do an A-B immediate comparison, but my perception is they sound a modest amount better than Bose.At this point, I have flown 10 hours with these headsets. Definitely happy with them. In contrast I have flown 500 hours with Bose headsets over the years. Bose are fine headsets, no question. I got the Lightspeeds instead of Bose because I think they are better for a really high noise environment, and the Lightspeed seems sturdier. For a quieter cockpit, I might get the Bose instead because of the lighter weight and lower clamping force. I am saying both those qualities without double checking the measured values for the two. That is just my subjective perception.

So far I’m only 2 flights in with it, but wow!! So far it checks all the boxes! I didn't want o spend $1400 for Bose A30s, or $1200 for the Lightspeed deltas. II’ve read reviews Bose is not supporting the A20s anymore so this seemed like a great option. Honestly I couldn't be happier! The noise canceling is amazing, headset is nice and loud, Kevlar wrapped cord seems great, and overall build quality feels nice and solid. Only worry I have is seems the ANR control box seems a little flimsy. Overall I’m super happy with this purchase and after using the loaners from my flight school this is a serious upgrade!

Bought as a gift and the receipt absolutely loves these headphones. They are comfortable and look great while also being lightweight. They came in a nice case as well.

This headsets noise cancelling feature is the best! It site in my head very comfortably and the sound quality it perfect. If this headset ever gets old, I am definitely coming back to lightspeed!
