Lightspeed does it again

The Lightspeed 3G series are the only headsets that I've found where you can
plug in a mobile phone.
Anyone aware of any others?

Thanks,
Ross

I followed the posts about Lightspeed selling pretty good equipment, and
most importantly, standing behind their products when they have problems.
I
was particularly impressed with Jay Honeck's reports (hi Jay) about his
Oshkosh experience. So, as a treat to myself I recently bought a 30/3G
for
my "new" Cheetah.

Last week, like an idiot, I lost the phone patch cord. I called
Lightspeed
yesterday to get a new one. After explaining the situation, giving my
address, etc, I then offered my card number for payment. Without
hesitation
she says, "Nah, that's OK, we'll just send you a new one..."

Just amazing. What do you do with guys like that.

And, as a side note, the interface works GREAT. In fact, people sound
BETTER using the headphones than without.

All I've read about is how much they break. They'd better have good customer
service of they'd go out of business.

Nah... I would call it good customer service.

Just think, they may lose a few dollars on this incident, but because they
treated him well, he told others about it and I will bet you a dollar
someone that sees his post will remember this and buy something from them
because of the good customer service that he was given.

Loose a dime now, make a dollar from it later...

The market is very competitive. I even asked Pilot if I bought a used set
from someone fro the back seat what woudl happen if I needed them fixed down
the road and they said to just send them in.....n/c.

With all the problems Lightspeed has had I am sticking with my DCs for the
foreseeable future. Good customer service is to be expected and shouldn't
be looked upon as an anomaly.

Have you ever had a problem with squelch noise when you use two different makes
of headsets.
When my buddy who has a Lightspeed flies with me I get a lot of noise and I
have to ask him to use my other Avcom.

I bought the interface from cellset.com. Works great and the phone
sounds really good.

Our Flightcom never had a problem working with our Lightspeeds, working
through a PS Engineering 4-place CD Player/Intercom...

I agree! Bose hurt my ears and are uncomfortable after an hour.
I've flown 8 hours (with a one hour break in the middle) with my Lightspeeds,
and my ears were fine. Of course this disclaimer applies: "Your ears (mileage) may vary."

After my 3 hours flying, I had a slight fatigue headache/tension,
which I attribute to the difference in the Bose headset - I can and
have flown for 6 hour legs with the Lightspeeds and never felt that
way.

Hankal,

that problem is caused by the intercom, not the headsets. Headset microphones
vary. A decent intercom should and will take care of that. Mayn people cheap out
on intercoms - and get what they pay for. Jay mentioned the magic words: "PS
Engineering".
