Headset Upgrade
 
Hey everyone.

I’m looking to upgrade from my David Clamps headache 200s to something better. What are your thoughts between the A20 and the Zulu 3s? Or maybe anything else you’ve tried that you like more.

Thanks!

If the A20 has the same noise canceling as the QC25 is go with the A20.

I is essentially the same technology. You could get the QC25 and uflymic or n'flight mic for half the cost.



Another thing to consider is lightspeed has WAY better customer service than bose!

The noise canceling in my QC25 is great and since it’s essentially the same technology I think I’ll get the A20 when the time comes.

How’s Lightspeed’s customer service better than Bose? I just saw the Zulu 3 has “Nearly 100% magnesium and stainless steel construction” so that might sell me on it.

The customer service at Lightspeed is amazing. I got the DC One-x. It is an amazing headset. It folds down smaller and fits better in the flight bag.

The DC One-X was another I looked at. How’s the noise canceling?

+1 on the One X. I swapped with a guy who had an A20 once, couldn’t tell the difference. Holds up well for me, and I usually end up kicking the cable and knocking it on the floor when I get in the seat.... I’d like to try the pro x and see how it does. The ufly might be nice if you want noise canceling in the back of the cabin. My main complaint is LED’s on the DC. In night mode, it’s nice and dark, until you pair it to Bluetooth. Then you get an eye piercing blue flash every 30 seconds or so. I mostly fly at night, so I’m rather particular to the bright flash. If you can hide it in some pocket, works fine.

Thanks! So you’d recommend the DC One-X over the A20?
