 I have three helmets with Headsets Inc. kits in them.  On helmet is for 
my S1-S and the other two are for my North American T28.  They work great.

>I recently purchased a pair of Lightspeed Thirty3G ANR headsets. I was interested in Denali ANR's but the dude at GulfCoast in Lakeland strongly recommended the Lightspeeds. They seemed to be quieter in their little set up at the shop. 
>My first use was in a rented spam can, but before the flight at home I was setting them up and while adjusting them they squeaked out some nasty feed back in my right ear. (Feed back high pitch noise when a microphone gets too close to the output.) On the flight at power the headsets would make a loud growling noise. 
>I tried them in my Pitts which has a 4 into 1 exhaust. Everything was fine through run up. Take off was awful, it would have been more comfortable having someone shoot a AK47 next to me ear. 
>So I took them back to Gulfcoast and exchanged them for the same model thinking I had a defective pair. Not the case I flew the Pitts again today, and my ears are still ringing right now. (Any good attorneys out there?) These new Lightspeeds are obviously not built for truly noisy airplanes.

>Now I am back to my 20 year old DC's, but still want noise canceling headsets. My friend Randy said I am a cheap bastard and should just by the Boise. I ruled out Telex due to what I read in the exploder about mic problems. Then someone said the mics are an easy fix, but I am not Radio Shack geek and do want to bust out the soldering iron to fix something that should by right out of the box. So what about Denali? I don't know. Or should I stick with the DC's? "What" is currently the second most used word in my vocabulary anyway!
