The ideal choice for any pilot advancing to a premium ANR headset, Sierra offers a better experience for you and your passengers.
Quiet and comfortable, the premium Sierra ANR headset is value-priced yet still delivers quality on advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity, ComPriority™, plush ear seals, and a reversible headband designed for left or right microphone placement. All of Lightspeed’s innovative ANR technology is supported by durable fiber-reinforced polymer construction. Your search ends here for an ANR headset that is both high-quality and budget-friendly.
Lightspeed Sierra Aviation Headset Battery Features
Sierra will operate for up to 40 hours on two "AA" batteries, and the battery status indicator will let you know when the batteries are getting low. The auto shut-off feature keeps the batteries from discharge if you forget to turn the ANR off. Sierra has dual volume control, weighs 16 ounces, and includes padded headset bag, microphone wind screen, music interface cable, and Lightspeed 5 year warranty.
