Lightspeed knows its new $1099 Delta Zulu headset won’t appeal to all buyers, especially those needing a budget-priced set. Still, after spending some time with the feature-rich Delta Zulu, we think it hits enough high points to attract the attention of some buyers who might otherwise spend their money on a Bose A20. There’s a lot of appeal.
Lightspeed markets the set as a “safety wearable” because it has a built-in CO detector that integrates nicely with Lightspeed’s smartphone app. Plus, with a feature called HearingEQity, the Delta Zulu is also marketed to aging pilots who struggle with hearing loss. Here’s an overview of the new set that was announced this past September.
