  • Durability and Longevity Made almost entirely of stainless steel and magnesium with durable cables built around a Kevlar core Zulu 3 is designed to endure the harshest flying environments and last for years to come.
  • ComPriority Never miss important radio communications with patented ComPriority, which automatically lowers the volume of any auxiliary device during radio or intercom transmissions. The soft mute feature gently eases music back in for a smooth listening transition.
  • FlightLink Capture incoming and outgoing communications with Lightspeeds free FlightLink recording app for Apple iPad and iPhone via the supplied patch cable. This app is exclusively available on Lightspeed headsets.

  • Amazing headset
Model: Zulu3 GA Dual Plugs
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! ... show more

  • I’m IMPRESSED
Model: Zulu3 GA Dual Plugs
Expensive but so is flying. The ear pad fit is comfortable even after long flighs. The noise cancellation is outstanding. It gives me comfort to know that there is a built-in CO detector. I am amazed at how long the batteries last before needing replacement.

  • Good noise cancellation / High quality construction
Model: Zulu3 GA Dual Plugs
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. ... show more

Mid weight but much lighter and more durable than my old headset. Comes with a hard carry bag which is nice.

  • So comfortable, sound quality excellent
Model: Zulu3 GA Dual Plugs
My 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 Zulu's 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). I'm sure there are other upgrades which you can research for yourself. The battery life is excellent. The only negative I can think of (and I'm reaching, I still think it's 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, it's 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! ... show more

  • Sound quality
Model: Zulu3 GA Dual Plugs
Excellent headphones really good noise canceling this is my 3rd pair and most likely the best of the 3. Improved non kinking cord. Sound quality is as good as the Bowes set I bought a few months back. I bought this set of light speed for my lovely wife who likes flying with me.

  • Lightspeed Zulu 3 GA Aviation Headset
Model: Zulu3 GA Dual Plugs
If you are in the market for a top of the line General Aviation headset, the Lightspeed Zulu 3 deserves your consideration. The performance of this headset is superb and the company backs up the product with warranty, customer support, repairs, wear item replacement (at cost), and more. The only other headset in the same ballpark is the Bose and they are even more expensive. Has Bluetooth connection plus auxiliary cable connection so you can use your phone or listen to music, with options for priorty of incoming calls or headset activity. ANR sound attenuation is startling in effectiveness. Mic bias/gain is adjustable. Earpads quite large, soft, comfortable, superb quality materials. Interchangeable top head strap cushions for different head sizes or clearance issues with cockpit headroom. The volume/control pod is well made, works well and is well designed. It even has an option to reduce the brightness of the LED indicators for night time use. The Zulu 3 is a pleasure to use in every way and makes flying - even in loud GA aircraft - a pleasure. The one downside to this kind of quality is the price. To be honest, it should not be priced as high as it is, but it is hard to argue with how well it performs... ... show more
