One of the advantages of Bose over my current Lightspeed is that I have no battery, it's strictly panel-powered, so if I buy an adapter it has to have its own batteries and provide power. I do have some high pitch hearing loss in my left ear due to an injury, and I've been happy with my previous Lightspeed headsets.Īlso, their support has been fantastic, and yes I have been able to get parts from them for a 12-year-old, long-discontinued Wien What happens if you don't launch the Lightspeed app prior to flight? Does it still let you go back and check CO levels later? I ask because, while I do have the iPad app that goes with my Zulu PFX, I've used it maybe twice. Unpaid, unaffiliated, just wanted to share my quick review. I had 30 days to try this headset out before deciding to keep it. My airplane has a belly pod, so the CO levels are higher than on a standard Husky. Can you guess how many T&Gs I did? You can actually see the climb-out CO levels. Not only that, but I just opened the Lightspeed app and was surprised to see it recorded the levels from the flight yesterday. But if you’d like to hear what the current level is you push a button and it will give you an instant read-out. If the levels are low and not a factor, no warning is given. I don't remember having any issues with either one.įinally, the main reason I’m keeping the headset the CO monitor. As far as ATC was concerned, I'll need to do a few more flights to really know. So I’m convinced the changes to the settings on the Delta Zulu is what allowed me to hear all the details in the music. Well, the first 7 or so lower tones were simple, but as I got to the higher frequencies I had to crank up the volume just to hear them after four decades of flying. I had done the hearing test through the app which takes the different frequencies and has you lower the test volume on each frequency until you could just barely hear it. Putting the Delta Zulu on, it sounded like a great set of earphones. Next, listening to music on each headset, I felt the Bose was ‘muffled’ like there was little treble to the sound. It was a nicer feel for me, even though it had more clamping force. The Lightspeed (Delta Zulu and Zulu 3) has a larger ear cup that goes completely around your ear. I’ve had this cause some pain after a few hours of flying. Second, while the Bose has less clamping force on your head, it rides on top of some of my ludicrously large ears. It wasn’t something you’d notice after a minute of using either headset. First, the A20 is about 2 db (total wag on the amount) quieter than the Lightspeed. Testing it yesterday side-by-side with the A20 revealed a couple of things. She loved them and that’s what she’ll continue to use.īut for me, after messing with two different CO monitors, and forgetting to turn them on before the flight or to charge them at home, I was really drawn to the Delta Zulu. It’s not something that annoys me too much, but my partner didn’t like it. After switching to an LED Strobe and Nav light, the noise diminished a bit. Loved the freedom they gave me.Īll of the Lightspeed headsets worked well, with only a small complaint that my strobe light (non-LED) came through slightly as a pulsating tone. Then I gave wireless headsets a shot in the Husky, picking up a couple of Lightspeed Tangos. At first it was the Lightspeed Zulu 2 and 3. I’ve been searching for the perfect headset for a long time now. I’ve finally been able to do a comparison test of the Delta Zulu with the Bose A20 on a flight yesterday. ![]()
