Budget friendly ANR headset with Bluetooth
The perfect choice for budget-conscious pilots, students, and passengers, the Sierra offers high-end performance and features—including outstanding noise cancellation, full Bluetooth integration and compatibility with FlightLink, Lightspeed's in-cockpit recording app. It's a great introduction into the world of ANR headsets. Made in the USA.
Bluetooth interface.
The Bluetooth interface makes it easy to connect to your phone or listen to music. Personal preferences can be set using the enhanced capabilities of FlightLink, Lightspeed’s exclusive iPad app: bass and treble levels, voice clarity boost, in-flight recording via Bluetooth
ANR.
Active noise reduction reduces low-frequency noise, allowing clear communication while minimizing fatigue even in loud cockpits. The result is a quieter, more comfortable environment that helps you stay focused on what matters.
Excellent battery life.
With the auto-shutoff feature, 2 AA batteries will power the Sierra for over 40 hours, conserving energy when the headset isn’t in use. That means fewer battery changes and more reliable performance on your flights.

Why I love my Sierra
Russ Hartley
Student Pilot
"As a new pilot, the Sierra is ideal for my flight bag. It's priced right, but I don't have to sacrifice important features like ANR or Bluetooth. In my opinion, it's the best bang for the buck."
Pro: High-end features, mid-range price
Pro: Soft ear seals and headband
Con: Heavier than Zulu 4 headset
What cable do I need?
Most headsets come in multiple cable configurations. Choosing the right one is pretty easy, it just depends on what type of aircraft you fly.
This is by far the most common style, with separate microphone and headphone plugs (so-called PJ plugs). Almost every airplane ever built has these two plugs in the panel, so these headsets are universal. The only downside is that, for ANR headsets, you will need to use AA batteries to power the headset.
The second most popular style, sometimes called the "LEMO plug," requires no batteries since it is powered by the panel. This is convenient, but it does require the 6-pin plug to be installed in the panel. While many newer airplanes come with this option, most older airplanes do not. For these applications, you'll need to have your avionics shop wire in the plug - not a big job, but not something pilots can do on their own
Helicopters use a single, shorter plug (that is not compatible with airplanes). This is not like the 6-pin plug above, however, since an ANR helicopter headset will still need AA batteries. The only confusing part is that some helicopters also have a 6-pin (or LEMO) plug. In these helicopters, there are two different single plug connections.
Less common is a single 5-pin connector that is made for Airbus jets. When in doubt, we recommend buying the battery powered, twin plug model. This is the most universal option, and will work in almost any airplane. If you have a 6-pin plug in your airplane or you plan to install one, the aircraft powered model is a nice option.
