Question to all who use Lightspeed headsets.
I have been using Avcom headsets for the last 4 years. Only complaint is the
pressure on the ears, even with GEL cups.
How do you like Lightspeed? Pro and Con.
What is the best model for the best cost?
How do you rate the reliability?
Where is cheapest place to get one?

I have a Lightspeed and a Telex. The Lightspeed is more comfortable and
is easier on batteries. The Telex has better ANR performance and a
better microphone and has been more durable.

I have 2 Lightspeed 20XL ANR headsets and have been well pleased with both.
I have not had a need to use their customer service, but I have heard that
it is great! BTW- I sold 2 David Clark headsets to buy my lightspeeds and
I have not regreted it a bit.
I have a 180 hp cessna 172 and have owned two Lightspeed 15Ks since they
came out. I had to send one back when the seat ran over the cord.
Lightspeed replaced it for....FREE.
I had one ear stirrup crack and they sent the a replacement to me and I
fixed myself, for FREE. They said I could send it in, but I could handle
this repair.
They are bulky looking, but they are light and comfortable and I feel a
lot better after a long flight.
I keep looking at upgrading, but these seem to work just fine. One
reason to upgrade is to get the model that will accommodate a cell phone
for those clearance deliveries.

I have the Lightspeed 30-3G's for pilot and passenger. I love them. I like
to plug my Rio MP3 player in and have music for the flight. They can be set
up so that on the pilot's side when ATC talks the music cuts out. When ATC
stops talking the music fades in slowly. I set the passenger headset to
keep the music constant.
Also I have my passenger plug in their cell phone to the cell phone port at
5 miles out to call a cab if necessary. This way they're waiting for us on
landing.
Our DE broke the mic boom about a month ago (it only rotates one direction).
He forced it to rotate the wrong way. It still worked but the mic was
intermittent on rare occasions. I called Lightspeed and they said they'd
fix it for free so I just mailed it back to them.

From his description, he is using the headset. You'd need a splitter
cable to supply the audio from the MP3-player to both audio-in plugs on
two headsets.
Best Headset?
