So Can I have your old set?
Our last pair of non-ANR headphones is a nearly bullet-proof pair of FlightCom 5DX's. They're heavy, they hurt, the sound quality is fair to middling -- but they never, EVER break. I think I better hang on to them as a spare, don't you? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I repaired the things several times before I finally gave up (they conveniently died on the way to Oshkosh so she bought the (then newly released) Lightspeed 20K's). I finally decided my Dave Clark 10-80's I'd been abusing for 15 years were never going to die and bought the 25 XLs. |

My kids can twist and yank and drop the FlightComs without fear, but they KNOW they have to handle the LightSpeeds with "kid gloves" or risk the wrath of Dad and a broken headset. I think I could use the 5DXs as a wheel chock, without harm to them. Of course, they're so uncomfortable, you practically *want* them to break! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Funny, I have 700 hours on my Flightcom 5DXLs and only recently had a small problem. My kids have stepped on them more times than I'd care to remember. However, I've had DC's break on me and they've always felt very "industrial" on my head. I just picked up a LightSpeed twenty 3g (it's lighter than the thirty and I don't need the cell phone interface). -Robert |

Of course, the proof will be in the pudding as to whether their redesigned
features hold up in actual use -- but what more can I say? Can you beat THAT for customer service? You really have to hand it to LS for service - they do try harder. Let us know how that cell phone hookup works. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

Lightspeed even includes a standard cable in the Twenty 3 and the Thirty 3 G box that fits the headset jack of the more common cell phones. Sorry to be so generic. Is there something specific you want to know about using the cell phone hookup? -- Peter |

If so, does it automatically mute the cell phone audio if the aircraft audio is active? -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

The cell phone interface is active immediately upon plugging the interface cable into both the phone and the headset battery pack. In other words, you are able to hear the phone number tones when you are dialing, as well as when the cell phone is sending or receiving a call. If so, does it automatically mute the cell phone audio if the aircraft audio is active? No, the cell phone audio is always active, regardless of reception or transmission over the com radios. Only the music audio has the mute feature, but this can be disabled by pressing and holding one of the buttons on the battery pack (I forgot which as I do not use the music input feature of the headsets). -- Peter |
