Features

One-of-a-kind personalization technology:

Streaming Quiet™ ANR continuously adapts to your environment, extending the amount, consistency, and frequency range of noise cancellation.

Acoustic response mapping measures your unique auditory landscape, personalizing the audio response for maximum noise attenuation, voice clarity, and music fidelity.

Customized audio is available through enhanced capabilities in our FlightLink app, which allows you to configure and save key audio and other settings to personal profiles.

Comfort — Based on the LightComfort™ design made famous by Zulu.2, PFX features a head-friendly 13.9 ounces, exceptional fit, and plush ear seals that provide 20% more surface area and 30% more space for your ear inside the ear cup than its closest competitor for a better seal and more comfortable distribution of side pressure.

Durability — Rugged cables, constructed of silver-coated copper alloy wrapped around a Kevlar core, deliver extraordinary flexibility, strength, and audio quality.

Full Bluetooth® Integration — Enjoy excellent call clarity, music fidelity, and wireless access to critical audio alerts from aviation apps on mobile devices.

Enhanced FlightLink capabilities — With PFX, FlightLink not only seamlessly captures cockpit communications for instant playback or later retrieval, allowing you to set a variety of personal audio and operational preferences.

Music fidelity — The Front Row Center™ feature is enhanced by advanced digital processing, creating remarkable, concert-class fidelity and a simulated 360-degree music experience.

Auto Shutoff™ — In PFX, Lightspeed’s proprietary Auto Shutoff feature is enhanced with increased sensitivity, saving even more battery life by automatically shutting down the headset power when not in use.

Mobile phone / music connection — The integrated control box auxiliary input for connecting a cell phone, music player or other audio device now has controls for bass, treble, and intercom priority, thanks to the enhanced capabilities in FlightLink.

Stereo or mono — Match audio panel inputs with a quick switch to stereo or mono using the new, easy-to-access external switch.

Firmware upgradability — Firmware updates are just a download away, giving PFX unlimited potential to evolve with new software innovations.

Included — Custom molded carrying case, cellphone/music patch cord, USB cord, cord clip, steel CPU mounting clip, four AA batteries (no batteries required or included with LEMO / panel-powered version), foam windscreen.

Available configurations:
Dual GA battery power*; straight upper cable
LEMO panel power; straight upper cable
U-174 battery power*; straight upper cable

*Average battery life 20 hours.

30-day money back guarantee — Lightspeed Aviation headsets are designed to be the best available anywhere, for any price. But we know that every cockpit and pilot is different. That’s why we offer a 30-day money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase for any reason, return the product for a full and prompt refund.

Performed flawlessly in a 20-hour flight. I can’t believe the quality of Bluetooth calls.

I have never flown with a quieter headset than the PFX.

The headset is superbly comfortable, and all I can say is that if clear, concise communication is what you are looking for in an ANR headset which is comfortable with upgradable software for future enhancements, this is the headset for you.

WOW!!!! What a difference!! The ANR is, hands-down, the best I’ve ever heard. ATC transmissions are so much more clear than before. It’s as if the controller is sitting across the desk from you in a quiet office.

Ed Hicks, Editor, Flyer (UK)

OK, I’ll say it. The PFX is probably the best ANR headset ever made.

Having flown with the PFX for several weeks, I can say that it is the quietest headset I have used and certainly the most advanced signal processing.
