9/16/2023 0 Comments Zulu2 lightspeed headsets![]() ![]() I know there is a lot on here about headsets and which is the best but having flown a few GA types people seem to be getting a bit carried away over the requirement for buying the most expensive headset out there. I am not expert enough to judge this argument. they digitize the voice signals, process them and convert them to analog again and according to Bose this induces a delay which makes the processing less effective than their analog circuit. Something interesting that the Bose reps told me: their attenuation circuit is analog whereas the Sennheiser use a digital circuit, i.e. It was a tough call but eventually the Sennheiser's weight made me go for the Bose. ![]() completely stupid bluetooth support, only does phones which is almost useless unless on the ground, no support for pairing music playersĪfter a lot of tinkering, I went for the A20 without bluetooth. + great active attenuation (the best I found) uncomfortable with certain type of glasses A lot of cheap China made stuff but apparently that is better with the Zulu 2. ![]() poor reliability and quality, PCB was replaced twice and several plastic parts broke, the original volume controls are subject to wear out and corrosion. terrible passive attenuation (drained battery) + great support with excellent turnaround time for repairs (Germany rep) + good bluetooth support for music and telephony I've owned a Zulu 1 for some years and recently performed a rather extensive test with loaned headsets: A20, Zulu 2, Sennheiser S1. I also tried the Sennheiser S1's on aswell, and they didn't feel as comfortable as the Bose or Zulus - their cushioning wasn't as soft and as a result felt firm on the head. I will definitely try them on one more time before buying though. I'm still undecided, I will probably go the Bose due to them seeming to fit better with my glasses, but for the extra dosh, not really sure - if i didn't wear glasses it would definitely be the Zulus because they are significantly cheaper. I kept switching back and forth, hoping they would feel totally different, but they are very similar and also very light. I wear glasses, and the bose seemed to provide a better seal around the ears with my glasses on, glasses off, they were both about the same. The quality of the Zulu's did look a bit better than the Bose, which i think is really due to the Bose being a bit more plastic looking. Both were very very comfortable, nothing between them. I tried them both on at the local shop today, and was very impressed with them both. Digging up an oldish thread, but i'm also looking at getting either the Bose or Zulus. ![]()
