Yes , Paul. I had the opportunity to swap my Lightspeed Crosscountry 2 with my
copilot's higher priced ANR model which he uses in his Mooney. Maybe I was
biased
but mine seemed a lot quieter and using his I seemed to be getting quite a
bit of what sounded like windnoise as well.
Someone else had mentioned that the Cross Country II was the best for the Rotax.
Maybe some day someone will bring out a headset that can re-compute the
signature
at any time for perfect attenuation.

Hi all,
I currently have some LightSpeed 25's and in my Comanche they work great.I
have had some problems with them in my Europa due to RF break through,
however when they do work the improvement is not as noticable as when I use
them in my Comanche,I assume that this is becuse they are tailored for
lower frequency attenuation and I suspect that the Rotax has more high
frequency component in its noise profile.
I'd be interested in some real world experience from others, has anyone done
any subjective in cockpit side by side evaluations ofdifferent headsets ?
I suspect for the noise profile of a Rotax there may well be products out
there that perform beter.
