Zulu 3 Headset Design

The magnesium ear cup is superior at blocking out high-frequency noise, and Lightspeed’s MicroPort technology offers greater ANR consistency and performance over a deep broad range of low-frequency noise.

Designed For More Comfort

• Performance ear seals are tapered to provide a more natural ­ fit, for greater comfort and stability
• Plush ear seals provide 20% more surface area than competitors, for a better seal around glasses frames and a more comfortable distribution of side pressure
• Larger cup cavity provides 50% more space for your ears, allowing the entire ear to fit comfortably inside, while preventing the pain caused by seals pressing against the edge of the ear
• Low-pro­file stainless steel headband follows the curve of the head for a more comfortable distribution of weight and side pressure
