#ARE LIGHTSPEED HEADSETS TSO PRO#

Harnessing the absolute best in 21st Century technology, the Pro Plus builds upon the immensely popular Clarity Aloft headset by bringing users all the features they love as well as the latest & greatest enhancements. For the rest of us, it is definitely worth consideration when deciding between this headset and the Bose A20, for example.If you thought the best noise protection required ANR circuitry, just wait until you take Clarity Aloft's new TSO-Certified Pro Plus Headset out for a test flight. If you are flying a plane with a LEMO connector with panel power, this probably isn’t a concern. It also drains those 4 batteries much faster and weighs more to boot – twice as fast as the Zulu 3, for example. It takes 4 batteries, compared to the 2 batteries required in comparable headsets. The big downside of the Lightspeed PFX is also the source of it’s advantages – the controller box. The Lightspeed FlightLink feature is a standout for those pilots looking to improve their radio communication skills or wanting to film videos with cockpit sounds – you can’t get this feature on any other headset. The headstrap adjust-ability is also the best on the market, in our opinion. What sets this headset apart from other high-end headsets? We really like the all metal build quality for one. The one area the Zulu 3 fell short was its noice cancellation ability and, no surprise, the PFX addresses this. If you recall from our review of its sister model, the Zulu 3 – we think that the Lightspeed headsets are already beating this market out with their superior build quality, warranty and feature set. This is a huge plus for me – no longer do you have to wear your sunglasses in a weird orientation to avoid interrupting the earcup seal! It should also provide notably better noise cancellation for those who wear prescription glasses.Īt it’s price range, the Lightspeed PFX directly competes in the high-end headset market. It also means that the PFX should be capable of cancelling out the additional noises caused by an imperfect earcup seal. Examples of these noises are the chaotic vortices that fly off of the propellor and hit the windshield or the noises induced by vibration of the airframe itself. What does this mean for the pilot? It means the PFX should be more effective at cancelling out some noises that traditional ANR headsets cannot touch. These bands correspond with the sound produced in your average airplane – like what would be expected from a piston engine turning at 2000-2500RPM or a turbine engine. This differs from most ANR headsets which target narrow frequency bands for noise cancellation. The clear differentiator with this headset is it’s “streaming quiet” ANR, which claims to adaptively adjust the active noise cancellation to the external environment.

Headset boasts enhanced configurability with the FlightLink app.

Switches on controller box allow you to adjust ANR sensitivity in flight.

Enhanced, “streaming quiet” ANR adapts to your surroundings, providing a better sound cancellation experience.

In addition to these features, the Lightspeed PFX brings the following additional features to the table: Support for U-174 connector and panel-powered LEMO connector.

All-metal construction and kevlar-braided cables.Automatic ANR shutoff after long period of.

This thing is truly a super computer among ANR controllers. The Lightspeed PFX controller takes 4 batteries and is by all accounts a “power hog”.
