Best headset?

I love my 20XL2. Got them when i was a PPL student, now an instrument
student. Fly with them for at least 5 hours a week. Got abotu six months
out of my first set of batteries(not bad if you ask me!). They are fairly
comfortable, just took some adjusting to get them "Right" need to feel like
they are slightly pulling UP on your ears, and then they are quite
comfortable once you get used to them. The only downside is that mine
regularly bump out of the ANR mode, the button is farily sensitive, and
anytime it bumps against the inside of the airplane it can cut out. Never
happened when i was flying C-172 or Citabria7ECA, but i'm flying a PA21-181
Archer now, and the way the cabin is laid out the ANR module is either up
agasint the armrest, or down between my knee and the sidepanel, so ti gets
bumped about once a flight.


Ordered mine from Avionics West, at the time they were about 20bux cheaper
than most other places.

Question to all who use Lightspeed headsets.
I have been using Avcom headsets for the last 4 years. Only complaint is
the
pressure on the ears, even with GEL cups.

How do you like Lightspeed? Pro and Con.
What is the best model for the best cost?
How do you rate the reliability?
Where is cheapest place to get one?

Don't you have a side pocket down there? That's where I put my ANR
module. If not, might I suggest you get a dot of stick-on velcro and put
it on the ANR module. If it doesn't stick onto the fabric as is, you
might have to stick on a corresponding velcro dot on the vinyl - even in a
rental, nobody will complain about a small dot there.

Nah, no side pocket on the left side of the airplane... and if i put a
velcro dot in this airplane... i got to put a velcro dot in the other 30
archers at the school (I got my PPL at a part 61 FBO... getting everything
else at one of the "Academies"). Think I may put an email off to lightspeed
and see if they have made any improvements in the design i can upgrade to, I
remember the 15XL i borrowed form my old instructor to try out ANR had a
much stronger pushbutton on top that is hard to acidentally bump.
