Lightspeed QFRXCc ANR Headset Review

Anyways, flying with it was just great, the best $230 I have ever
spent!! Passive anutation is great but the magic comes when you turn
the ANR on, I could not believe the difference the ANR made by
switching it ON and OFF.

I wasn't aware that the QFRs were ANR headsets. For only $230, that's
almost an impossible deal to beat.

I hope the QFRs hold up better than the older model Lightspeeds did.
Our current model (Twenty 3Gs) have been durable and pretty much
bulletproof, unlike their predecessors. The old 15s, 20s, and 20XLs
were not very rugged, and didn't hold up over the long haul.

Enjoy 'em -- once you've gone ANR, you *never* go back.

You are right, I can't imagine going back...
As for durability it seems really rugged, nothing really to break, but
we'll see...

You can get the QFR is active or passive models. I've had three of the
Lightspeeds with those god awful giant foam earcups. ANR works pretty
good but that's just way too much bulk on your head. As soon as I tried
the QFR I immediately sold the other Lightspeed. They're very durable,
I've had them for several years now. Not nearly as nice as my Bose but
second best.

Jay,

There's both a passive and an active version available. Also, there are
versions made by Lightspeed but branded to the bigger pilot shops like
Marv Golden, Avshop and others.

The QFRs are a completely different design with a wire frame. Also, my
20K is still going strong.

I'm also planing to get two of these rebranded headsets (MG Golden
Eagle) so would like specific comments on reliability if anybody else
uses them.
