I have used both the Bose and the Lightspeed 30-3G. The Bose may
be very slightly better, but the price is almost double. For the value,
go with the Lightspeed.
YMMV

My headset is the original Lightspeed 20K - about 12 years
old and still fine. I've tried a Lightspeed 33K swapping back and forth between
it and the 20K in my buddy's Mooney. The 33K is slightly better than my old
20K, but not enough to justify upgrading.
I borrowed another friend's Lightspeed Zulu a few weeks ago
and flew with it in the RV for about an hour. Significantly better than my 20K
and I plan on making that upgrade once I can scare up the cash.
Another friend has the Bose which he just bought. Havent
been able to talk him out of it yet for a test flight but I hope to.

Is there anyone out there with a Lightspeed Zulu that can report on its
effectiveness?

Mark,
Which ANR do you use?

Good report Mike. I know what you mean about a quieter
muffler. My ANR headset does a good job of killing the low frequencies,
but a poor job on the higher frequencies. The rotary has
both. So take your pick, turn the ANR on and listen to the
high frequencies, or turn it off and listen to the low rumble. If I could
only find an ANR that can do both I would be a happy camper.

I added another 1.3 hours to my total flight time today. And
for the first time I landed and was completely satisfied with the flight. I'd
still like to quiet it down a little, but this was the first flight where I
didnt feel like there was anything that had to be fixed before the next flight.
Even the landing was pretty decent.
I've got just over 9 hours of flight time and about 40 hours
of engine run time now. So far all of my flight time has been directly
over the airport because to venture away requires flying over about 50 miles of
mostly unlandable mountainous terrain. But I'm starting to think seriously
about stretching the legs a little...
