I purchased a brand new Lightspeed 30-3G headset at OSH.
Used it for 4 hrs on one cross country trip and had to return it to Lightspeed
(at my expense) for repair. The ANR just quit working, the next time I wanted to
use them (yes the batteries were fresh). They repaired the ANR and turned it
around quick enough (received back 2 business days after they received it) at no
charge. It still bugs me that I had to pay to ship them back. While my DC
passive headset was still fine and survived all my PP training abuse.

So..... Just had to rant as well.

While I am happy with my DC ANR's, having recently had to pay $67 for a
repair on an older (beyond 5 year warranty passives) (I bought after
hearing about legendary customer service) set, I will probably go with
Litespeed for my next purchase.

Sorry, had to rant.

Here is another thought...

I wear DC 10-40, a friend wears Lightspeed 20-something.
When instrument flying, I can hear the identifier through the
background noise while my friend cannot. Why? Better headset? Better
hearing? Both?
