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

Noise cancellation is not as good as Bose 20

Just made the switch from Lightspeeds Sierra headset and what a difference in weight and tightness on the head. It’s created a much more relaxing atmosphere when flying 5+ hrs a day. So far so good after 200 hrs on the headset in 3 months!

I’ve been wearing the Bose A-20 since they first came out, but I was unhappy with Bose’s customer service. LS seems to have a lot better customer service and the Lightspeed trade up program was very attractive.

This is an excellent headset, and in terms of noise cancellation performance in the steady state, I cannot tell it apart from the Bose A20. Some reviewers have complained about the length of the mic boom, but that was not a problem for me. I wear glasses (Oakley steel plate) and those didnt pose a problem either. The seal around the ear was just as intact with glasses as without, with no perceptible difference in noise.

Excellent noise-cancelled audio. Great fit! Superb customer service.

Possibly the best headset in the market. Everything works as advertised and they look strong enough to last a very long time. Very comfortable.

What a huge step up from my old DC head clamp. Amazing comfort and quiet.

Great sound quality talking to ATC and ground. Bluetooth works well for calls and music on those long flights.

EXCELLENT!! 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!

Meets expectation and required standard.
