Key Takeaways:

Lightspeed Aviation has launched the Zulu 4 ANR headset, an enhanced successor to the popular Zulu 3, featuring a redesigned, more ergonomic earcup shape for improved comfort and fit, even when wearing glasses or hats.
Key practical improvements include a longer microphone boom (7 inches) and a longer cable (51 inches), making the headset more user-friendly and convenient in the cockpit.
The Zulu 4 offers excellent audio fidelity with individual ear adjustments and advanced Bluetooth capabilities that allow simultaneous pairing of two devices, including a ComPriority feature for managing communications and media.

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.
