Key Features:

Exceptional Comfort:

• Tapered Performance Ear Seals: Designed to conform naturally to your head shape, the ear seals provide a more stable and comfortable fit—especially helpful during long flight durations.

• Eyewear-Friendly Design: With 20% more surface area than competing headsets, Zulu 3’s seals reduce side pressure and maintain a tight seal around glasses or sunglasses.

• Spacious Ear Cups: A 50% larger cavity ensures your entire ear fits comfortably inside the cup, eliminating painful pressure points caused by compressed ear edges.

• Low-Profile Headband: The stainless steel headband curves with the natural contour of your head, distributing weight evenly and minimizing fatigue over long hauls.

Durable, Flight-Ready Construction:

• Kevlar-Reinforced Cables: Stronger, lighter, and more flexible than traditional cables, Zulu 3’s wiring is built around a Kevlar core to handle the wear and tear of daily use.

• Rugged Frame Materials: Nearly the entire headset is constructed from stainless steel and magnesium, offering the ideal balance of strength and lightweight agility.

• Magnesium Ear Cups: Light yet durable, the magnesium construction enhances high-frequency noise attenuation while keeping overall weight low.

Premium Audio Clarity:

• Dual Aperture Disc™ Microphone: Provides exceptional noise cancellation and crisp voice transmission, even in high-noise environments.

• User-Adjustable Mic Gain: Perfect for multi-headset cockpits—balance loud and soft voices without needing to raise your own.

• Front Row Center™ (FRC) Audio: Lightspeed’s stereo cross-feed technology creates a more immersive and accurate soundstage for music and comms, enhancing clarity and fidelity.

• Redesigned Speaker Drivers: Engineered to deliver rich, full-spectrum audio for both voice and music playback.

Advanced Noise Reduction:
