My headset is the original Lightspeed 20K - about
12 years old and still fine. I've tried a Lightspeed 33K swapping back and forth
between it and the 20K in my buddy's Mooney. The 33K is slightly better than my
old 20K, but not enough to justify upgrading.
I borrowed another friend's Lightspeed Zulu a few
weeks ago and flew with it in the RV for about an hour. Significantly better
than my 20K and I plan on making that upgrade once I can scare up the
cash.
Another friend has the Bose which he just bought.
Havent been able to talk him out of it yet for a test flight but I hope
to.

report...
Is there anyone out there with a Lightspeed Zulu that can
report on its effectiveness?

Good report Mike. I know what you mean about a quieter
muffler. My ANR headset does a good job of killing the low
frequencies, but a poor job on the higher frequencies. The rotary
has both. So take your pick, turn the ANR on and listen
to the high frequencies, or turn it off and listen to the low
rumble. If I could only find an ANR that can do both I would be a
happy camper.

I added another 1.3 hours to my total
flight time today. And for the first time I landed and was completely
satisfied with the flight. I'd still like to quiet it down a little,
but this was the first flight where I didnt feel like there was
anything that had to be fixed before the next flight. Even the landing
was pretty decent.
I've got just over 9 hours of flight
time and about 40 hours of engine run time now. So far all of my
flight time has been directly over the airport because to venture away
requires flying over about 50 miles of mostly unlandable mountainous
terrain. But I'm starting to think seriously about stretching the legs
a little...
