Ive been using lightspeeds for about 6 years now. I had the thirty 3 g's, which were dead silent, but a little large and cumbersome. If you want a headset that works great for GA and the jet, lightspeed zulu's are the way to go. If your are just starting to learn to fly, get something much cheaper, from my experience as a CFII about 1 in 5 people actually kept going with flying. I would meet my students the first day with their brand new Bose headsets only to see them 6 months later leaving the flying world. Normally the cost of a job with an unstable future would deter them from dropping another $10,000 on a class...
