in our August report, we were impressed with Lightspeed Aviation’s new Zulu PFX headset, but had issues with consistent ANR performance. At press time this month, Lightspeed sent us a new headpad that improved its fit and performance, transforming the headset.
After exhaustive flight trials, we initially found enough to like to recommend the Zulu PFX as a worthy investment, particularly given the new digital technology that’s behind it. Still, we favored the aging Bose A20 after a side-by-side comparison conducted in a variety of aircraft. Based on feedback from some other users, we weren’t alone.
