light speed , zulu 3 head set

It did make me think, we are always looking for a deal, but why not check with Kitfox Aircraft to support them. They may be competitive with many of the slicker aviation parts/pilot supply shops.

You know, I wouldn't normally think to go to Kitfox for headsets, but Bose, Lightspeed, and the other top-tier manufacturers control their pricing very closely, so you're probably not getting a deal anywhere else. (your case, excluded, obviously.) When my airplane is done, I'll need to buy a couple LEMO-equipped headsets, and I'll buy them from Kitfox. Thanks for putting this in my head Ralph I probably would have bought elsewhere without thinking.

Well since we are talking headsets, my wife and I have used Clarity Aloft for 3 years. They are hands down the quietest headset you can buy. She first used them on the Metro which is probably one of the loudest planes you can operate in commercial service.

They are also super light and comfortable.

Ive only seen those type headsets used in commercial cockpits. "ear buds". do you think they will still do the job if you chose to fly with the doors open?

What were the super lightweight headsets that Scott Palmer was using at OSH? These were "ear-bud" style units...

Same thing. Clarity aloft. Yes, you can use them with the doors open. Some people don’t like the ear plug type ear piece going in their ear but once you ge used to it, you’ll HATE bulky over ear headsets that aren’t as quiet even with ANR. Oh, and they don’t ever need batteries!

My friend gave me his clarity head set to try. Minus the earwax build up I loved the light weight of them but loved the light speed alittle more. Having the head set on my ear vs. in my ear is more comfortable for me. Thanks for the input!
