> 24 hourbought this product yet two weeks after we got headset left ear started putting out loud share sounds into ear. attempted to correct condition and no response tried in different plane still put out obnoxious sounds. Called customer service and they gave us run around for two weeks then took back head set and still did not work on return, same problem. Call amazon and returned headset and got money back. Not happy though litespeed was good company. Will not buy from them again.

> 24 hourNice headset - I have to wear a ballcap in order to get the headset to fit properly. Otherwise it feels like its slipping off my head to the rear. I guess I have a smaller head.

> 24 hourMy husband always swore by David Clark headsets, but when I started flying with him, the pressure from the David Clarks would give me a headache within 10 minutes, which made me feel so nauseated. After much research, we found that the Lightspeed Zulus had the least pressure on the head. I am extremely happy with my headset (actually the Zulu 2) and have been using it for over 5 years (longest flight 2.5 hours with no issues). When my husband flies without me, he found he preferred to use my headset! So this pair he purchased for himself and is very happy. The only difference I can tell between the Zulu 2 and 3 is that the cable in the 3 is nylon braided and more flexible (no big deal for me). Im sure there are other upgrades which you can research for yourself. The battery life is excellent. The only negative I can think of (and Im reaching, I still think its a 5 star headset) is that since the headset is so light on the ears, that the seal is broken easily. So wearing chunky sunglasses that pushes the ear cushions out do interfere with sound quality, even yawning big disrupts the seal momentarily. Sometimes when we are taxiing with the windows down, the wind/air pressure difference causes the seal to not be ideal. However, we are still able to communicate without difficulty during these times. Seems to me, its a trade off - I require the very light pressure on my head (as opposed to a headset with more pressure where the seal would not be broken), and we are definitely Zulu customers for life!

> 24 hourSpent $850. Didn’t regret once. Highly recommend. Makes life so much better. If I could go back and I was shopping for a headset I’d buy another without thinking twice.

> 24 hourThis is my second Lightspeed headset. I tried the Bose A20 and prefer the Lightspeed Zulu 3’s fit and feel over the A20’s.

> 24 hourIm a student pilot. I struggled with communication. Tower, ground, even getting ATIS. I was starting to think I was getting dumb in my old age. I promised myself a better headset once I passed my written knowledge test. These things are incredible! I can hear everything so clearly now. Im not listening to music yet but I look fwd to that too. The blue tooth is cool.

> 24 hourEXCELLENT!! I had no previous bias with these type headphones and the Zulu 3 is the comparable model to the Bose A20s. There is no doubt in my mind these are every bit equal to the Bose and are 250.00 less. I honestly have used both of them as a new pilot and I actually prefer te Zulu 3s. They are more comfortable on the ears, I like the headband better, the mike is more versatile and there is no difference in the noise cancellation. Save the 250.00 and get these!

> 24 hourGreat headset. Comfortable for long wearing. This is the exact same headset sold in pilot stores. Nice noise cancellation, and easy Bluetooth pairing. Significantly less expensive than the Bose headsets, but I think the quality and sound is every bit as good.
