When we evaluated the EQ-Link wireless aviation headset a couple of years ago, we struggled to find a $1000 reason to invest in its cordless design, especially since it didn’t have the comfort of even mid-priced traditional models. So as the industry marvels at Lightspeed Aviation’s recently introduced $800 Tango wireless ANR model, we still wonder what—if any—problem this technology solves. Moreover, what problems might a wireless headset create?
To find out, we ordered the new Tango and put it through the paces in a few different aircraft. Overall, we’re pleased with its performance, value and the technological progress it represents, but have a few nits to pick about its user interface. To watch a demonstration of this product, click here.
