If shopping for a new headset is part of your mission at EAA AirVenture this year, be sure to visit the Lightspeed Aviation booth. The company that brought the popular Zulu 3 to market has released the Zulu 4 just in time for Oshkosh (July 21-27).

Company officials describe the ANR Zulu 4 as a “bestseller made even better.” That says a lot, because since 2017 the Zulu 3 has continued to be one of the most popular headsets among pilots of all experience levels who want to balance comfort with audio clarity.
