Best Headset?

The MP3 plugs directly into the headset battery compartment as does the cell
phone.

I love them. I like
to plug my Rio MP3 player in and have music for the flight. They can be
set
up so that on the pilot's side when ATC talks the music cuts out.

Do use the headset for this or the intercom

Question to all who use Lightspeed headsets.

I used to be a user is it ok for me to answer? Those that have given them up
may offer a valuable viewpoint as you consider you purchase

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.

I have owned 3 different lightspeeds headsets and I have used two fo them,
the third is still used by my wife.
The first on I had was a 15XL. Good performance, comfortable but I did hate
the size and the earcups were seperating from the earpieces after a year.
But LS was offering an trade up program to the 20-3G so I traded up. I
really hated that headset. The batteries kept falling out. The noise
reduction was not very good compared to the 15xl, there was an intermittent
buzzing. One of my co-workers had that headset and it failed completely on
him during a flight.

My wife's LS is a QFR and it broke within 5 hours of purchase while in
flight. Her microphone went dead.

In both of these cases LS fixed the problem for free and quickly but like
many others I wanted reliability not just a good repair. I did not want to
loos my headset functionality while IMC and then have to deal with the noise
in the cockpit, a hand mic and fly the airplane along with all the other
stuff. SO I went David Clark 13XL (new ANC box). So far I love it. It is
smaller and fits very well, I do not expeiernce the clamping problem and I
like that is has worked without issue since I got it.
