I have the lightspeed 20-3G and although I used to think they were great, I am starting to wish I could get my money back. I had a problem with them in September, luckily I was flying in Portland and was able to take them in and have them fixed. Worked fine for a while.
Last week, while on a 135 initial they went haywire. Loud sreeching and static from the right earcup while on my last approach. I managed to fly the approach, land and taxi in, even though they were screaming in my ear. My right ear rang for two days. Now they are sitting on my desk while I use my old Telex non ANR backup set.
I appreciate that they have good customer service, but if I am going to have to send them in every 6 months, and have the potential for horribly distracting noises while flying IMC, I want my money back so I can get a more reliable headset. Who wants to carry a backup headset everyday because of the unreliable performance of an expensive ANR.
