How did you find the 50D's??
I have basically worked my shortlist down to the Zulu and the 50D... I have trialled the Zulu, including a nice 2hour cross-country while getting my PPL unrestricted...
They were comfortable and very quiet, although the passive is almost worse than having no headset on! Sounds like you are in a 40 gallon drum with an O-235! Oh wait... I was in a 152!
I guess the lesson there is, carry spare batteries!

I thought the Telex Stratus 50Ds were very, very good - but quite bulky (not heavy - just bulky) and not as sexy as the Zulus!
Somehow (a bloodless coup?), I got relegated to the back seat of the Bo for the return trip from Kingaroy. The noise level from there, with the 50Ds on, was exec jet like - just a low hum!

Pilot USA PA-1761T Headset - Free Shipping! 100% Inventory Price Matching!
What do you think abt the above ANR headset that costs almost as much as a 13.4?
Is it crap or a real good deal?
If this one aint good, i will just get a DC 13S. Stereo!

A bit of Velcro will do the trick, available at Spotlight, craft shops, etc.

The comments on that video are priceless...
The follow ups are pretty good tho:
HONY ******* ****!! $850 for a freaking headset!!! I don't care if its "bla bla bla high qulaity bla bla bla" that is way to over priced for a heatset, im using $10 headseat and the sound qulaity is prefect. For the price of that head set I could buy 2 PS3s or 4 XBOX360s or a computer or 17 $50 headsets (and $50 for a headset is allready overpriced)
The follow ups are pretty good tho:
Clearly you've never been in a light aircraft if you're talking in terms of playstations and XBOXes. Stick with microsoft flight sim mate.
Dude, you have no idea what you're talking about. That $10 headset you use for XBOX or PS3 will be useless in an aircraft. Re: This headset is NOT designed for gaming/casual use. It's for aviation, where these things make an incredible difference.

Zulu issue - but not a killer
Was meat bombing the other day and lost my mic on the Zulu's.
Turn's out it was overwhelmed trying to noise cancel when the door was open and didn't return to service once it was closed again.
Much fiddling about swapping plugs, radios and hitting stuff then squawk 7600 and had a nice little one sided ident chat with ATC on the way down.
Back into the Yak the next day and everything working fine. Need to read about adjusting the gain on the mic... anyone else had the same experience?

I bought the Lightspeed Zulu headset last week and they are amazing. All the heli to ATC comms were superbly clear. I haven't got round to using the mps or phone feature yet but i suspect they will not disappoint.
