Lightspeed Zulu ANR Headset from Sporty's Pilot Shop SportysVi... - 155 views - 4 days ago
Visit http://www.sportys.com to purchase or for more information!

**The best Lightspeed headset yet!**
The all new Lightspeed Zulu is lighter, quieter and has better acoustics than any headset Lightspeed has ever made.

**Quiet**
The low profile ear cups are made from magnesium, which reflects 10 times more sound than plastic cups, yet is stronger and lighter. Even with the ANR turned off, the headset is remarkably quiet. Add Lightspeeds renowned active noise reduction and the Lightspeed Zulu simply delivers more overall noise cancellation than any headset available.

**Comfortable**
The Zulu is made from magnesium, stainless steel and four different types of composite plastics for excellent durability, but it weighs a mere 13 oz. It also features a new ergonomic fit, with 40% less lower side pressure than the 3G series. Luxurious leather earseals with temperature sensitive foam make for a soft and comfortable fit.

**Bluetooth compatible**
The Lightspeed Zulu allows you to connect wirelessly with your cell phone, iPod, MP3 player or other compatible device—ideal for passengers or long cross-countries. All controls are conveniently located in the battery box. Also includes wired inputs for music and cell phone.

**Front Row Center Audio**
Because the Lightspeed Zulu is so quiet, you can actually appreciate fine audio. And the headset is loaded with audiophile features, like premium gold contacts and Lightspeeds innovative Noise Gating Technology, which reduces intercom noise. The patent-pending Front Row Center feature uses special circuitry to create an amazingly lifelike, surround-sound environment in the headphones.

Bose Aviation Headset X from Sporty's Pilot Shop SportysVi... - 572 views - 2 months ago
New and Improved!

Visit sportys.com for more information!

The Bose Aviation Headset X has set the standard for business and general aviation headsets for years. It offers excellent full-spectrum noise reduction, but with far less clamping force than most conventional headsets. It is quiet, light, and comfortable. Period.

But the best just got better: the new version of this headset maintains the same standard of quality, but with some major improvements:

• AdaptiSense™ technology doubles the battery life--now up to 40 hours on just two AA batteries
• Smart automatic shutoff senses when you've stopped using the headset, saving battery life
• New ergonomic control module is 30% smaller and includes a real-time power status indicator
• Redesigned boom mic offers increased durability and more precise placement

The Bose Aviation Headset X marks a departure from conventional thinking. Standard technology often achieves noise reduction by creating a tighter seal against your head using higher pressure. Or, larger earcups are used to hold more insulationwhich only increases weight. Either way, comfort is sacrificed.

This stereo headset is engineered differently, to work as a system that improves both noise reduction and comfort. Thats because Boses proprietary TriPort™ headset technology is a breakthrough in active noise reduction. Significant advances in acoustic, electronic and ergonomic technologies are part of the Bose system design approach that helps make this headset so effective in reducing noise. In short, better active noise canceling technology allows for more comfortable headsets. You know the Bose name—its synonymous with audio quality. Take this reputation into the cockpit with the Aviation Headset X. Battery powered headset uses two AA batteries (included) that lasts for approximately 40 hours of continuous operation. Includes deluxe carrying case and owner's manual. Five year warranty.

Features
• Small Size gives you more room in the cockpit
• Low weight (12 oz.) makes for the most comfortable headset around
• Unique protein leather foam earseals provide a soft, consistent fit-even with glasses
• Torsion spring creates a consistent fit without the "vise clamp" feeling
• Over 95% intelligibility score at 115 db
• Dual volume controls, stereo/mono switch and LED power status indicator
