Lightspeed Zulu headset

[Andrew_VT]

lightspeed has a great trade up program as well. I have an old thirty-3g and will end up trading it for the zulu at a significant discount. great company. you can get a new headset every few years the rest of your life for a couple hundred bucks.....

I have a 30-3G as well, and I got it by trading up my 25XL plus $200.

There is nothing on their website about trading up to the Zulu yet...do you know something I don't?

Lightspeed headsets work good but I have had mine sent back about 4 times.

from speaking with them on the phone they will announce a trade up program in december to be implemented sometime in the spring for 30-3G -> Zulu upgrade. The trade tentatively will be your 30-3G + $350 for the Zulu (yea, a $500 credit).

At least thats what they told me the last time i called and asked.

They look interesting.
I am looking for my first ANR headset to replace my DC's.
Key feature I am looking for is weight and external audio hookup (mp3)

I have the Thirty 3g and it is great.The passive sound dampening is not bad, but when you turn on the ANR everything just goes away. 2 AA batteries seem to last 20 to 30 flight hours.

I don't have an MP3 player but I have used the phone connection to make phone calls. That is great when you are at a BFE airport and have to call FSS on the phone to get your clearance.

There is a nice feature that turns down the volume of the music when your radios pick up a transmition. Over all I can't say one bad thing about these headsets.

Would like to hear more feedback on this headset.
The 3g look nice, but no external audio jack.

This 3G's DO have an external audio jack. They come with cords for your cell phone or MP3. They also have very high quality sound when listening to music, and can be set to automatically mute the music when there is an ATC transmission.

I wonder how good they are in an Embraer or CRJ.
Must be a lot quieter than a pair of David Clarks. Although they look heavy and bulky like DC's.

The Zulu is my first Lightspeed set and they aren't heavy/bulky at all. Complete opposite, actually. I suggest trying them on in a shop if you can. Looking at them online doesn't do them justice. I was SOLD on the comfort and they are sooooooooo much more light weight than my old clunky headset. Love it.....:beer:

3g's look bulky. I have to find where I can buy lightspeed locally. Thanks.
