Got the AKG, and I like the bluetooth music, inclusion of both twin and
LEMO plugs, and it's comfortable, but the ANR just isn't as good as the
Bose's. I think I'll be getting another Bose.

I actually already have a set of QT Halos. Very comfortable, but the
noise reduction isn't nearly as good as my A20s. The in-the-ear design
is ineffective in blocking low frequencies, in my experience.

So we did a direct comparison in another RV-10 and they had

He with his Zulu 2 and Myself with the A20. We swapped and flew for 10

it=99s just not comfortable for me. I can fly 6-7 hours with the

I feel the Bose are superior. As for the service from Bose they have
been excellent. I take my in at Oshkosh every year and they have check
them and replaced items at no cost that they feel Need attention.
With my A20=99s on and no sunglasses you can almost not hear
my engine at cruise they are that quite. It took me a while to get use
to that.
FWIW
Buy what you want and feel comfortable in. They all work

Subject: RV10-List: 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).
