Hi Bob,

  

 I've owned two Lightspeed headsets. On several occasions,  there were problems with the cushions. I contacted the manufacturer, and they  sent me new ones free of charge. On another occasion, the sheathing of the  wires to or from the battery box had slipped uncovering the insulation of the  wires. This time they said send them the headset and they would repair  free of charge. I would suggest that you discuss your problem them  with. If their policy has not changed, i expect that they will repair or replace  parts without charge.

  

 Regards,

  

 Rich Dudley

If you send it back to them they will probably fix  it for free and maybe give you some upgrades, depending on the  model.

Yes, Rchard, I've twice sent my old Lightspeeds back to the company

and twice I got refurbished, new looking headsets back...free. Great

folks.

Contact cement works fine. Better than the original glue.

Hmmm ... are lots of people having trouble with Lightspeed headsets?   Cushions coming off?  Exposed wires?  Multiple trips to the factory  for refurbishment?

 They may be great folks to deal with, but is the original product weak is  certain areas?

 I haven't owned a Lightspeed - just curious.

   I used to rent airplanes . . . and headsets if

   the pilots didn't have their own and wanted to

   use ours. Some brands of headsets were more robust

   than others . . . like David Clarks . . . but

   everyone's headsets required some degree of

   upkeep. The cockpit of an airplane is a terrible

   place to store anything rubber/plastic. My personal headsets

   are kept in a special headset bag that goes along with

   my documents flight bag and they're never stored

   in the airplane. They were really inexpensive headsets

   but are still in excellent shape after 500 hours/

   15+ years.



   A little Armor All treatment of plastic muffs

   seems to help with replacement of the plasticizers

   that keeps them flexible and crack free.



   I would be cautious about throwing mud at any

   particular brand without having side-by-side

   comparisons of headsets subjected to exactly

   the same service stresses.



   The most interesting feature folks have cited

   about Lightspeed is their willingness to provide

   good customer support and attractive prices. 

   A less robust headset with good field support

   can have a much lower cost of ownership than 

   a premium headset with poor support.

In my case, my Lightspeed was one of the first models the made and I used it a lot as a CFII for a 60-member flying club. I'd have no problem buying another Lightspeed except right now I'm still building the Sportsman and am not flying much.

 

Also, I have ears that stick out like Alfred E Neuman (remember, Mr. "What me worry?" from Mad Magazine), and the Lightspeed was the very most comfortable headset I could find which I could wear over an hour at a time.

Stan,



I can't say enough good things about Lightspeed products and/or their 

customer support!

I've been operating with their headsets since the late 1990's and have 

had only a couple of instances with the early headband and ear cushion 

material.  I've never been asked to pay for anything, as they always 

replaced components with the most recently up-graded items and also 

usually updated other components beyond what I asked for.



I also fly a club aircraft that is fitted with Bose. The differences are 

such as to cause me to take my personal Lightspeeds, due to both head 

comfort and sound clarity. Price doesn't always indicate superiority!!!
