It is with great excitement that we announce that our new Zulu 3 ANR headset has earned Aviation Consumer's 2017 Editor's Choice Award, citing its comfort, quality, and value. It's clear that the enhanced comfort and durability of our new Zulu 3 headset — layered on top of the remarkable quieting, audio fidelity, and advanced features the Zulu line has always been known for — has hit a sweet spot with pilots and publishers alike. Because they don't accept advertising revenue, Aviation Consumer is considered an unbiased, and therefore highly credible, source of information on the latest aviation products.
Receiving the Aviation Consumer 2017 Editor's Choice Award further reinforces our message of comfort and durability and our strategy of focusing on those features that the vast majority of pilots appreciate most. The award is also a powerful tool in our campaign to convince pilots that Zulu 3 — and Lightspeed — is the best choice in aviation headsets for nearly every mission.
We encourage you to take full advantage of the honor Zulu 3 has earned and the positive awareness it will generate. To help you in your efforts, we have created special banner advertising and POP signage. Digital versions of both can be found on our Brand Resources page and printed POP signs can be ordered at our POP Warehouse. See below for full information on both of these valuable resources
