| Subject: | Lightspeed Zulu 2 and PFX in the RV-10 |
Last time I bought a headset, I compared the Bose A20 ad Lightspeed Zulu 2,
and the Zulu 2 had substantially worse Bose A20 noise reduction. I need a
new headset again, so I bought the Zulu PFX and flew with it the other
night. The PFX also has substantially worse noise reduction than the A20.
My A20 isn't quite comfortable on long flights, which I why I keep trying
alternatives.
Has anyone else compared the A20 to the Lightspeed headsets head-to-head in
the RV-10 and have a similar result? People generally seem to prefer one
over the other slightly, but the difference is huge in my experience, which
makes me think something else is going on (or I'm just weird).

If you are looking for comfort and quiet, you can't beat a set of Quiet Technologies
Halo's with properly inserted ear tips. I also use a pair of Zulu and Zulu
2 and like both very much. No experience with Bose though.

I did when I compared the A20 and the Bose X and the regular Zulu.
Same conclusion.

I can tell you that I have a mid level headset and it is awful compared
to the Bose and Lightspeed. I can also tell you that we love our LS Zulu
2 over the Bose. This is not at the level of the PFX to A20, I agree but
the fit of the Bose makes it the last headset to be used on our
=9310. So 4 out of 4 people in my plane prefer the fit of the
Lightspeed over the Bose, but one tolerates it each time (if awesome
headsets makes the situation =9Ctolerable=9D).
Your questions was NR between the two, my response is that fit overrides
any further NR that either gives us as we believe the Noise reduction of
the Lightspeed is good enough to listen to movies without a need for
higher volumes. We have not heard a significant difference between the
two, so you may have a loose earpad or something else going on. That
happened to us on the Lightspeed and a replacement earpad (wider for
smaller head significantly fixed the noise issue)
When riding motorcycles there are two excellent headsets (ARAI and
SHOEI) one fits perfect; one just doesn=99t fit right at all, I
think your situation may be the same, the Bose just fits your head
better than the Lightspeed may, ad that is why you hear the significant
difference.

I know you're specifically asking about the Zulu vs the Bose, but I did a
direct comparison between the QT Halos (passive noise canceling) and the
Bose A20s. I had the bose over one ear, and the halos in the other. The
halos were noticeably quieter.
However, the are more effort to put on, and I wouldn't want to use them for
guests in the plane.

I have used Halos, Dave Clark, Bose, and light speed. I fly everything
except the Halo (I sold mine because they were harder to get on and
off). I think the Bose is the best, with the light speed being just
about the same. My wife prefers her Halo. She got custom ear molds.
I think it is a personal preference thing..try them
all and pick the ones that work best for you.

For me personally, either the Zulu or Bose worked well. For my wife
however, the Bose was substantially better. Turns out that the Zulu didn't
seal as well as the Bose along the rear part of her jaw and that caused the
ANR not to work as well. That being said, the only way you're going to
know is to try them in person. Sorry, just my experience.

Agreed. Back when the original Zulu and Bose X were the top of the line,
we spent several hours at Sportys going back and forth between them.
Better comfort and slightly lighter weight became deciding choice for
the Bose. One of these days I will compare current models. While Bose
support has been okay, Lightspeed has much better reputation.

Hi
So, I picked up a travel cover from Flightline. First off, I was pretty amazed
at how light it was. I used to have a Bruce's cover for my PA28 and it was very
substantial and heavy. Abbey's cover is marvelously light. It seems to be very
well made. I like the velcro straps that go around the steps.
Thank you to everyone who weighed in with advice.
Cheers
Les
