Lightspeed ANR Headset
Headsets are an essential instrument for flight that many pilots frequently undervalue. In in particular, Lightspeed Zulu 3 headsets are essential for streamlining radio and cockpit contact. However, they serve more purposes than merely enabling conversation. Additionally, they improve safety protocols and lessen captain fatigue, making them an essential part of any effective journey.
The Lightspeed Zulu 3 features an active noise reduction (ANR) system built into the headset, effectively canceling out more noise. This results in a lighter weight design with reduced clamping pressure compared to passive headsets that lack ANR technology.

The magnesium ear cup is superior at blocking out high-frequency noise, and Lightspeed’s MicroPort technology offers greater ANR consistency and performance over a deep broad range of low-frequency noise.
