What??? No problems???
It's been quite awhile since anyone has posted a complaint about LightSpeed headsets. Has LightSpeed repaired/replaced everyone's broken units (headsets, that is)? Jay, what is the latest on your "freebie's"? |

No. I just discovered a completely cracked side on the left yoke holding the earpiece to the headpiece. Guess I'll have to send it back for a "free" replacement. BTW, it's a 25XL, I wonder if it's worth paying for an upgrade to their latest model? |

Jay, what is the latest on your "freebie's"? The 'Yoke' that holds one of the earpeices on my set is broken. I haven't tried to contact Lightspeed for a repair yet. I'm thinking about trading them in for an upgrade to the 'G' series, so's I can plug in a CD player or something. |

Sure pay Lightspeed more money for items that will break. Why not take that money and buy something that will not require maintenance every few months and replacement a few years. Something say David Clark like??!!! Scott |

Jay, what is the latest on your "freebie's"?
After nearly a year of use, the Twenty 3Gs that Lightspeed's president gave me last year at OSH '03 have been absolutely bulletproof -- to the point where I have now purchased another pair for ourselves, and another pair as a gift. Their new headsets are everything the previous models were not, combining Lightspeed's typical comfort and performance with the robustness and durability that any work-a-day headsets should possess. I am firmly back in the Lightspeed camp -- IMHO you can buy from them with confidence once again. :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Glad you had a good experience with the new Lightspeeds. Mine kept having
the battery cover fall off and then the earcups started separating. I had done the upgrade from the 20XLs, my wifes QFRs required maintenance so I decided enough was enough and would not risk a headset failure in IMC. SO off to ebay they went. I have since used a set David Clarks with their ANR and have been very happy. They fit fine and I do not notice and clamping. I like the lower profile than the LS plus these things seem bullet proof! No problems whats so ever in the past 13 months of use. Plus so far I have only had to replace the 9v battery once, (about the same batt life as the LS 20XLs) Scott -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott F.

Jay, what is the latest on your "freebie's"? Flying with 2 sets of 20XLs for 3+ years now. Had the cord assembly replaced about 1.5 years ago on both headsets. No problems since. -Nathan |

Jay, what is the latest on your "freebie's"? I've had the QFR Solo for about two years, and the QFRX-Country (ANR) for about a year. The blinking green light on the battery compartment sucks at night, but otherwise I love them. I use NiMh AA for the ANR, which works great. Both these headsets are extremely comfortable: light as a feather with very little clamping pressure and very good PNR. I had a problem with the volume control box on the QFR Solo early on. This was fixed and returned in a couple days (I didn't even know the mail could travel that fast!). Not a problem since. Nothing comes close for price, comfort and reliability. DanH |
