Lightspeed Comes Through!

Good point. If I were getting my first headset, I'd certainly want to
wait
for more evidence. But since Lightspeed's repair service is good, I can
afford to gamble a little, since I can just fall back on my older headsets
for awhile if need be.

No, the new set didn't break. But it's almost as funny...

Gleefully preparing for our very first flight (yesterday, to Minneapolis, to
see the Maul of America) with FOUR ANR headsets on board, I carefully moved
the new pair into the prime left seat spot, the 25XLs from the left to the
right seat, the 15s from the right seat to the rear, and the old Flightcoms
OUT of the plane entirely.

Shortly after take-off, my son discovered that he could no longer be heard
on the intercom. Apparently the simple act of moving the 15s from the front
seat to the back seat caused a wire in the microphone boom to fail
internally.

As always, a call to Lightspeed was all it took to get a return
authorization, and they will be good as new in a few days...

Until then, the trusty Flightcoms are back in their position of "honor"...

Jay,

no offense meant, but my first thought was: Yeah, right.

Jay:

What is so wonderful about Lightspeed that
Flightcom ANR's literally have to take a back seat...
no matter how much/badly the Lightspeeds screw up?
