LAKE OSWEGO, OREGON, July 15, 2025
Lightspeed Aviation is excited to introduce the Zulu 4 — the latest in our line of premium ANR headsets. With Dual Bluetooth®, notably clearer outgoing audio, and re-designed ear seals for unrivaled comfort, you get more comfort, clarity, and flexibility.
Zulu 4 builds on the success of Lightspeed’s best-selling Zulu series ANR headsets. Dual Bluetooth® technology allows seamless connection to two devices simultaneously — no cords, dongles, or constant re-pairing required. Revolutionary FrameFit™ ear seals deliver unmatched comfort for pilots who wear glasses, sunglasses or hats. And AI-enhanced upstream audio cuts up to 90% of background noise from outgoing transmissions sent via Bluetooth®, so your voice comes through as though there is no engine noise at all. Additional refinements, like a 10% longer mic boom, longer upper cable, and flexible power supply all contribute to a more flexible, quiet, comfortable headset experience.
As a leading innovator in aviation headset technology, Lightspeed draws its inspiration from the piloting community. Since 2017, Lightspeed’s Zulu 3 has earned a stellar reputation as a top choice in premium ANR headsets. Now, building on its success, Lightspeed proudly introduces the next evolution in the Zulu series. Zulu 4 offers everything that made Zulu 3 a best-seller, while adding breakthrough enhancements valued by pilots.
“We always strive to respond and anticipate market needs. Pilots have told us that a longer mic boom, a flex power option for LEMO plugs, and a better fit while wearing glasses and caps would greatly improve their flying experience,” said Heider Lazzarini, CEO of Lightspeed Aviation. “But true to the Lightspeed DNA, we went beyond incremental improvements to provide a superior solution. The technological advancements in the Zulu 4 are first of their kind and have made it an unparalleled premium ANR headset that will raise the bar in the category and delight the aviation community.”
Other preferred features of the Zulu 4 that continue from the Zulu series of headsets include:
- Durability and Longevity – Made almost entirely of stainless steel and magnesium with durable cables built around a Kevlar core, Zulu 4 is designed to endure the harshest flying environments and last for years to come.
- 7-Year Limited Warranty – The BEST in the aviation industry. Lightspeed stands by the quality of the Zulu 4 with a comprehensive 7-year warranty of materials and workmanship.
- The Lightspeed Aviation App – The Zulu 4 introduces its latest generation app to record incoming and outgoing communications, playback transmissions, draw diagrams, and archive flight recordings onto your phone or mobile device for post-flight briefing and training.
- First-to-Market innovations – Patented ComPriority™ which automatically lowers the volume of any auxiliary devices during radio or intercom transmissions, and Auto Shutoff™: Lightspeed’s proprietary feature that saves battery life by automatically shutting down the headset power when not in use.
The Zulu 4 is available in Dual GA, Heli and LEMO/6-pin panel plug configurations. It retails for $1,099 in the United States. Zulu 4 will be available for sale outside of the U.S. in the Fall of 2025. For more details go to LightspeedAviation.com
