Lightspeed Excellent Service

The batteries connectors in my 20 3G are bad. The batteries tend to
rise up making a questionable connection. May have to complain about
it.

Do you use the little holster thing that mounts it to the wall of the plane?
That thing has solved so many problems for us, and cost Lightspeed, what, a
buck? A good example of a simple, workable solution to a vexing problem.

I'm not sure the batteries *could* come out, with the battery box slid into
the holster...

OBTW if DCs are properly adjusted they are no more or less
comfortable than any other headset.

Like many sweeping generalizations, either the pilot shops
where I've tried on Dave Clarks and the owners who've lent
them to me, don't know how to adjust them (and I can't figure
it out either) or, this simply isn't true.

People have different head shapes. I can see where DC's
would not be a problem for someone with a fairly narrow
headshape.

They are very uncomfortable to me, and there is a significant
comfort difference between their passive models and other
passive models, and their ANR models vs other ANR headsets.

FWIW,

I also like the cell-phone interface, and the clip-on wall-mount holder for
the battery box has completely solved the
"broken-wires-inside-caused-by-hanging" problem that plagued their earlier
models.

Where did you get this clip-on holder? Is this the thing that slides
onto the battery box and then has a spring loaded metal clip on it?
My CFI has one for his, but he's out of town now, and I keep meaning
to ask him where he got it. I looked on lightspeed's webpage, but I
don't see any picture of it. That would be useful, I used to hang
mine over the yoke column, but now I just put it in the knee pocket.
However, the buttons have a tendency to get pushed accidentally when
it's in there, so I'd like to be able to clip it onto the outside of
that...

No. The cord hangs free. I am not saying that the batteries come
out totally but when I open the lid teh contact with the terminals
appears marginal.

Yep. It came with my Twenty 3Gs.

It won't work with the older, rectangular-shaped battery boxes. With those
units we bent a big paperclip around the box, and hung it from the side wall
of the plane.

Not as nice looking, but it accomplished the same thing.

Aaronw,

It comes with the newer headsets. LS is learning. If you want one, I
suggest to call Lightspeed and ask.
