Features

 

  • Low-profile comfort – Weighing just 14.6 ounces (including ear seals and mic boom), Zulu 3 has a low-profile, stainless-steel headband that follows the curve of the head for more comfortable distribution of weight and side pressure.
  • High-performance fit – Zulu 3’s tapered performance ear seals are designed to hug the curve of the jaw for a natural fit, increasing comfort and clarity while also providing a better seal around glasses frames. Cup cavities allow the entire ear to fit comfortably inside. We also offer taller head pads at no extra charge to ensure maximum comfort and performance on smaller head shapes.
  • Durability and longevity – Made almost entirely of stainless steel and magnesium — with durable cables built around a Kevlar core — Zulu 3 is designed to endure the harshest flying environments and last for years to come.
  • Superior quiet – Zulu 3 delivers advanced active noise reduction (ANR) performance over a deep, broad range of low-frequency noise. The magnesium ear cups are superior at blocking out high-frequency noise.
  • Clear comms – The Dual Aperture Disc microphone provides greater noise cancellation for clearer, more intelligible communications. Exclusive, user-adjustable mic gain helps balance loud and soft voices in a multi-headset environment. Front Row Center (FRC) and stereo cross-feed technologies deliver crisp, rich audio and unparalleled music fidelity.
  • Mobile phone and music connection – In addition to full Bluetooth connectivity, Zulu 3 offers an integrated control box auxiliary input, making it easy to connect a mobile phone, iPad or music/audio device.
  • ComPriority™ – Never miss important radio communications with patented ComPriority, which automatically lowers the volume of any auxiliary device during radio or intercom transmissions. The soft mute feature gently eases music back in for a smooth listening transition.
  • FlightLink – Capture incoming and outgoing communications with Lightspeed’s free FlightLink recording app for Apple iPad and iPhone via the supplied patch cable. This app is exclusively available on Lightspeed headsets.
  • Auto Shutoff™ – Lightspeed’s proprietary Auto Shutoff feature saves battery life by automatically shutting down the headset power when not in use.
  • Included in the box: Cellphone/music patch cords, cord clips, two AA batteries, a foam windscreen, and an attractive protective carrying case.
  • 30-day money-back guarantee – 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.
  • Available configurations: Dual GA, LEMO panel power, U-174
  • 7-year limited warranty – The BEST in the aviation industry. Lightspeed stands by the quality of the Zulu 3 with a comprehensive 7-year warranty of materials and workmanship.

    I have been flying with a Headsets Inc. ANR headset for years and found for the price it was an excellent headset. When one of my students asked to buy it from me I decided to make the jump to a high end headset. I ended up buying the Zulu 3. After flying with the Zulu for several months I got an opportunity to use a Bose while flying my friends C-210. In my opinion they both have the same high quality noise canceling, but the Zulu is more comfortable on long trips, and cost a couple hundred dollars less. I am happy with my purchase of my Zulu 3s.

    I just love my Zulu’s. Started out as a Zulu 2 and took advantage of the Zulu 3 upgrade. They are so comfortable. Battery life is almost hard to believe. I got these while I was a student pilot because I wanted the best. When I bought my plane it actually came with a set of Bose. I compared them on my 1st flight. My passenger gets the Bose….Not that the Bose aren’t good. The Zulu is much more comfortable to me. The bluetooth feature allows me to connect to my Gamin Virb for cable free voice/radio on my cockpit videos.

    I’ve been using Lightspeed headsets for years now and have always thought they were the best. I love the Zulu line and the Zulu 3 is my favorite. I’ve tried the Bose, David Clark, and other low grade headsets. Lightspeed always wins! Great sound, clear communications, best comfort.

    kenny – September 26, 2020

    I just started my flight training and decided to go all in and purchase this headset. The zulu3 is EXTREMELY comfortable. They have very large ear seals with lots of space inside and proper clamping force distribution. I used it for 1.5 hours so far in flight and I cant see this headset ever becoming uncomfortable even after several hours of flight.

    in comparison, the Bose A20 is much smaller and very uncomfortable. After a very short time you can feel the speaker pressing against your ear, which for me is a very big drawback. A comfortable headset is one which has sufficient padding and ear space inside the ear cup to prevent direct contact of the speaker on the ear. The lightspeed has plenty of space and allows your ear to rest comfortably inside with only the pillow like ear seals resting on your head.

    Sound clarity is excellent on the zulu and communications are perfect. The only small negative point i would have to point out is the sound quality, it lacks a bit of bass for music listening. I use the zulus on my PC at home as well with an aviation GA plug to PC adapter and it is just great. Most comfortable headset ive ever worn.

    thank you Lightspeed!

    plewca – October 2, 2020

    I’m a student working towards my Private Pilots license. I tried many different headsets, most of which gave me headaches (apparently I get headaches easily with these things! :)) The one contender that didn’t give me a headache, required a LOT of vocal force to get the mic to pick up my voice. I felt like I was yelling into the mic. The Zulu 3 is awesome. It’s comfortable. I barely feel it while flying. The mic is clear and the volume adjustment is good. The mic picks up my voice easily, while not pulling in other noises. I love how flexible the ear cups are and the cushions are very cozy as well. The dual plug splitter is pretty small, I have a hard time getting both plugs in, and it kind of makes me worry that the cord will wear early because of this. But I guess that’s what a warranty is for! Overall, I’m VERY satisfied with this headset and would recommend.

    I loved my Zulu 3 so much, that I purchased a second set for my passenger and a Sierra for the younger passengers! Great product!! Lightspeed has set the bar high for aviation headsets. If you’re looking for an amazing headset, then this is it!

Can’t say how good these were for my first aviation headset… I got a pair of Bose A20s for Christmas but I wouldn’t trade my Zulus for anything!

We love the Zulu 3. I fly almost every flight in the Cessna’s with the windows open. The Bose would not handle the wind noise and the Zulu 3 is flawless.  I am very picky and this headset is pretty much perfect.

The Zulu is the most comfortable, quiet, durable headset I have ever worn. The Zulu even outdoes the Bose in noise cancellation as well as comfort.

The comfort alone of the Zulu made all the difference, and the noise reduction and sound quality were unmatched.

I love the new Zulu 3 — the most comfortable headset out there.

Zulu is amazing. I haven’t found anything that’s as quiet or nearly as comfortable. The audio quality is better than anything I’ve ever heard through any headset.
