![]() The ear seals are big, and the company said the goal was to design the cup cavities so that the entire ear fits comfortably inside, and so the ear seals efficiently hug the curve of the jaw for a natural fit. Lightspeed worked on styling, too, and the headset’s outer ear cups have an attractive two-tone finish. Overall, the Delta Zulu has a high-end feel as you would expect from a model at the top of the price category. The set has a stainless steel headband that’s designed to follow the curve of the head for a better distribution of weight and side pressure. We tried the set with and without a ballcap, with and without eyeglasses and even with a pair of Foggles view-limiting glasses and found it to be comfortable, although a couple of people commented that it had a slightly higher clamping force than the Bose A20 they are used to. Instead, Lightspeed gets credit for cranking out a fresh clean-sheet model at a time when few manufacturers are bringing anything new to the market no thanks to the choked supply chain.Īt 14.9 ounces (which is just slightly heavier than the Zulu 3), the set should offer a good, comfortable fit for the majority of wearers, although our caveat is the same as it is for any headset-try it first. The Delta Zulu isn’t a refresh of the successful and good-performing $899 Zulu 3 ANR model, which will live on in the Lightspeed lineup, along with the $699 entry-level Sierra. Here’s an overview of the new set that was announced this past September. Plus, with a feature called HearingEQity, the Delta Zulu is also marketed to aging pilots who struggle with hearing loss. Lightspeed markets the set as a “safety wearable” because it has a built-in CO detector that integrates nicely with Lightspeed’s smartphone app. 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. Lightspeed knows its new $1099 Delta Zulu headset won’t appeal to all buyers, especially those needing a budget-priced set. ![]() At $1099, it will compete directly with the Bose A20. Lightspeed’s clean-sheet Delta Zulu, main image, has good fit and finish and a generous electronic control set. ![]()
