LIGHTSPEED Sierra

Lightspeed Sierra blew me away the first time I flew with it. The difference between active and passive noise reduction is like night and day. The cockpit is phenomenally quieter with ANR plus the headset is super comfortable. The Sierra is very comfortable to wear, weighing in at 16 oz, whereas the David Clark H10-13.4 is 16.5 oz. There was not much difference in weight for me since my upgrade from the David Clark's only meant a difference of 0.5 oz. The Sierra headset allowed my head to breathe beyond my wildest expectations. After an hour-and-a-half-long flight, my ears and head weren't the slightest bit uncomfortable, so the breathability and lack of clamping were fantastic. One of my favorite features of the Sierra is the Bluetooth/aux input capability. The Sierra user guide says that it cannot stream music wirelessly, but I was able to stream music from my iPhone 6 Plus over Bluetooth without any hiccups. The music quality isn't super stellar, but when you're flying an airplane and talking with controllers and passengers, music quality isn't really a primary concern. This is an ANR aviation headset, not a pair of ANR headphones, so it (and its music quality) should be treated as such. The clarity of the ATC transmissions was great. On my first flight with Sierra, I didn't have to ask a single controller to repeat him or herself a single time. I have yet to try out the FlightLink app, but I will update this review if I can once I have tried it. I'd definitely recommend the Sierra to anyone looking for an ANR headset. At its price point, the Sierra really packs in a lot of features like ANR, Bluetooth, ComPriority, and FlightLink, all for under $700. I've been converted and will definitely continue buying from Lightspeed.

These are great. I've been using mine for about 2 years and they work perfect as new. They're definitely on the heavier and tighter side, but not uncomfortable. Sound quality is great coming in and out. Battery life works good. They're reasonably durable - I'm not the most gentle owner and they haven't taken any damage.

Great headphones. The noise cancelation, microphone, and sound quality are amazing. I also like that the ear foam goes around my whole ear and doesn't cause any pressure on my ears like other ones. The Bluetooth is also a great feature for this.

I love my headset. I have used it almost daily for over 2 years now. I used it all through out my training and now as a Cfi. It has been tossed around in my flight bag and still holds up extremely well. The headset is comfortable. The noise cancellation is good and the Bluetooth is awesome. Battery life lasts about 40ish flight hours if you are using the Bluetooth. I know someone who had an issue with his headset and the company was very quick and helpful getting him a new part. I have nothing bad to say about this headset and this company. Way better than your average headset but not crazy expensive like the Bose. Buy this headset, you won’t be disappointed.

Good product
