I would be remiss if I didn't pass on this info. The plastic headband on my 20XL headset recently broke. Don't know what caused it, but the unit is 5+ yrs old. When I inquired about purchasing the part, I was told they didn't sell it, but if I would send the headset to them that they would replace it FREE. I did so and they not only replaced the headband, but the stirrups, com cable (the unit that controls volume & holds the two AA batteries), both audio speakers as well as the ear muffs, 2 AA batteries & a new headband pad. All of this was done without charge including shipping back to me. You can't ask more than that from a manufacturer. They had previously replaced the ear muffs & headband pad about 3 yrs ago. Wish more folks could stand behind their products like this.

You didn't state which particular model Lightspeed headset they supported. They completely abandoned my two 25K's.

George,
Sorry to hear that. I see that it is not on the website anymore.
They have been supporting my 20XL (8 years old).

Has anybody used the Zulu?
I would like to upgrade, but do not want to trade in either of my Lightspeed headsets.
My wife stole my 20XL because it was smaller than the Thirty 3G I bought her. Claims it fits her small head better.

I traded my 20XL for the Zulu. I kept my thirty 3G. The Zulu is a little better sound quality than the 3G and a lot more comfortable. As far as product support, I have never had a problem. Twice I melted the battery case on my 20XL by getting it too close the the rear heater outlet on my 170. They replaced them free of charge.

I have two of the Zulus and have been very happy with them. (Although, I can't find one of them and am assuming I left it in the airplane at Del's shop in Mena. Perhaps Del can confirm this for me.)

I chose them after talking to a friend of mine in Alaska who has tried many models of many brands in his sightseeing business. He recommended the Zulu saying that he thought the Bose "might" have a little better sound quality but it was so subtle that he didn't think it was worth spending more money for the Bose. When I made the purchase, the Zulu was $150 less expensive than the Bose.

I've only had them a short time so we'll see how they hold up.
