My Lightspeed Zulu headset after years of use was showing signs of wear. The battery case lid was not staying shut, headphone wires were worn showing shield wire in several places. Figured I¡¯d spend some money and send it off to Lightspeed for service. Surprise! They no longer service the original Zulu headsets! That¡¯s a bummer.
Looked at alternative (cheaper) headsets and took a gamble that the Faro G2 Active headset would work. It was a WHOLE lot cheaper that a Bose, David Clark headset. Besides, I definitely would not go the Zulu route any more.
Faro has a good 3 year warranty and parts/service support after that.
I would say this turned out to be one of those ¡°Why didn¡¯t I do this in the first place¡± situations.
This headset is comfortable, the Noise cancellation works fine. My Buttercup¡¯s exhaust system is quite loud and the ANR is quite effective. The only change I had to do was to adjust the IC on the V16¡¯s Razor control head and it works great!
Just thought you guys would like to know.
As to Bluetooth capability, I got a Bluetooth to mini plug RX/TX unit (cheap) and set it for RX, plug it into the aux port on the battery box. My iPhone 7 connects to it - no problem.
The mono/stereo selector switch is easy to get at also.
