Pros
Extremely quiet. Rivals active headset noise reduction. Very comfortable. Flying 1-2 times a day to finish my private pilot license, I put a decent amount of time on these every day. I have tried friends' headsets varying in price from $300-$800, active and passive. And these are actually my favorite. I had been using a friend's $300 Sennheiser head set for weeks. Then I ordered these based on the good reviews. The cheap price almost scared me away since I have always been a believer in "you get what you pay for". This headset will run with the best of them.

Cons
If you sweat more than normal in the summer heat (like me), this might affect you as well. The head set creates a perfect seal on your ear with the sweat and the pressure difference during climb can cause them to slowly release the pressure and create popping sounds.

This is a very comfortable headset for the money. It even comes with a headset bag, which many of the costly headsets don't. Sporty's customer service and shipping are top notch, they will go out of their way to make sure you have the product that you want.

Cons
None so far.

General Comments
I just bought this headset a couple of weeks ago and haven't really had time to grade the reliability and stuff, but it seems well made and it sure cuts down the noise for a PNR headset.

Light weight,comfortable,quiet,comes with a nice litespeed logoed nylon bag,mono/stereo switch,dual volume controls

Cons
I can't speak on the durability,simply because i have'nt had them that long. I did'nt see a litespeed cell phone adaptor for the phone i have. (motorola razor v3)

General Comments
This is a great headset for the money. This would make a great starter headset for a student,or a a headset for a passenger. I was using a avcomm headset,however they are now my spare headset as i like these better. The cell phone jacks are a nice touch,though i had'nt used it yet. You can't go wrong with this headset. If you listen to music while you fly the dual volume controls & mono/stereo switch will make your music sound better. This will be my primary headset until i see at such time if any i need to change or upgrade them.

Mic picks up background noise

General Comments
Overall I really like the headset, but when I talk engine noise does get picked up by my mic. I notice that I don't hear that w/ other pilots who have nicer headsets. Now I wish I had gone w/ the slightly more expensive Lightspeed QFR Solo SSc Headset. There is nothing wrong w/ this headset, and everyone can hear and understand me just fine. For the money I think the SSc is a better deal since it has a "... Noise Canceling Microphone" according to the Lightspeed website. I have only used this maybe 15 hours, so I'm not the best one to ask about reliability or durability. I rated those slightly lower and the product slightly lower overall b/c it definitely does not look as well built as other headsets. I don't expect it would hold up under heavy use over long periods of time. I intend to upgrade and use this for my passenger. I never did get the cell phone feature to work, but I didn't have it plugged into the plane either when I tried it. I guess that is required. I did find out that you can plug a music player into the jack for the cell phone, and it works even though that isn't advertised for this model. But I haven't tried that in the air since I'm still a student. I wonder if they don't advertise that b/c they don't lower the volume when ATC talks. No evidence for that. Just wondering. I would recommend this product who is trying to stay around the $150 price point. For $200 I would suggest going w/ the Lightspeed QFR Solo SSc Headset.
