    About Us

    Lightspeed Aviation is a leading manufacturer of premium aviation headsets and helmet products. Since the first product was introduced in 1996 at AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI., the company has established a reputation for leading innovation in the aviation headset marketplace with a number of “first to market” advances, technologies, and features. In 2022, the company launched a new category of aviation products called “Safety Wearables”. Layering life-saving technologies on top of their award-winning audio and ANR platform, Lightspeed ushered in a new era of aviation safety. With this, the company continues to live its mission of “creating products that protect and save lives”. Additionally, Lightspeed is a passionate supporter of initiatives to encourage the next generation of pilots through its support of programs like Young Eagles and Ray Scholars. The company is proud to have participated in helping countless young people experience everything from a discovery flight to getting a Pilot Certificate.

    Our way of doing business

    Lightspeed creates products to protect and save lives.

    We are an aviation-centric headset brand for discerning pilots who want high performance gear to maximize the comfort and safety of their flying experience. We commit to learning from and educating ourselves, our customers, and our markets in order to provide the ultimate in personal safety and communications solutions.

    We design and manufacture technologically advanced Active Noise Reduction (ANR) aviation headsets and aviation helmet systems engineered to provide you the quietest possible environment, unparalleled comfort, and crystal-clear communications, making your flights safer and more enjoyable.

    We also create supplemental pilot supplies for the serious and discerning aviator. These include the Adventure Flight Bag Collection, and the Lightspeed Aviation Survival kit.

    As a company of pilots and flight enthusiasts, we strive to know our customers well and deliver an innovative in-flight experience. Our dedicated staff works together daily at our headquarters in Lake Oswego, Oregon in support of this mission, ensuring that everything we do has a personal touch.

    A history of innovation

    With the unveiling of our first product at the 1996 EAA AirVenture — the innovative K series ANR headset — setting the standard became Lightspeed tradition. The XL series introduced Auto Shutoff™ in 2000. The Thirty 3G headset brought wired music and cell phone, along with intercom priority muting and a treble/bass EQ setting, in 2003. Lightspeed’s top engineering talent created the first Zulu in 2007, bringing a breakthrough in ergonomics, quieting, audio performance, and advanced features like full Bluetooth® integration.

    The next decade brought great leaps in innovation, with Lightspeed engineers creating products like Sierra, a top-of-the-line ANR headset offered at a budget price, and Tango, the first wireless aviation headset. Zulu 3 earned the honor of being the most durable, most comfortable headset Lightspeed has ever made.

    Great headsets, like a Lightspeed Zulu 3 and Sierra deliver value as excellent audio communication devices. But they’re just ANR headsets.

    The introduction of Delta Zulu launched the next generation of aviation headsets and provides powerful safety and customization features layered on top of industry leading ANR technology, to create a whole new category of safety wearables. This new family of devices enhance flying enjoyment but, most importantly, help save pilots lives!

    Lightspeed technology, past and present, represents a legacy of innovation and an unparalleled commitment to supporting our customers’ passions to provide them with the best aviation products available.

    Experience the Lightspeed difference.
    We stand behind our employees to deliver the best possible flying experience, with unrivaled warranties and a commitment to personalized support.
