As we got out of our car, we saw Joe walking up. We got to talking about cell phones and Bluetooth, and then Joe said, \u201cWell maybe you can help me figure something out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He had a question about Bluetooth technology and his new headset.\u00a0I said, \u201cWell, Pam will know all about that!\u201d So there we stood at the back of Joe\u2019s SUV and he shows us this new headset he bought recently. It is the Zulu Active Noise Reduction (ANR), Bluetooth-enabled headset by Lightspeed.\u00a0Pam looked through the user\u2019s manual and had the Bluetooth operating in no time. This allows you to receive and make calls on your cellphone without being connected to the headset with wires &#8211; it\u2019s Bluetooth! Both Pam and I loved seeing this feature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Joe explained that you can also hook up a hardwire to your favorite music player and listen to music &#8211; and with the Front Row Center (FRC) technology in the headset, the quality of music simulates sitting \u201cfront and center\u201d in an ampitheater.\u00a0The leather foam ear cushions and top cushion made for a very comfortable and snug fit and they weight just under 14 ounces &#8211; a little heavier that Bose X\u2019s 12 ounces.<\/p>\n<p>Joe said he has yet to feel uncomfortable in them and they hold snuggly without shifting.\u00a0They are even priced below the Bose X\u2019s $999 price at $850, and with the added features, will certainly give Bose a run for their money. I have the Bose and love them, and am getting pressured to get a set for Pam.This has me rethinking Bose in favor of the Zulu &#8211; it has the immediately justifiable Bluetooth feature that we would find great value in so Pam can make and receive calls without the cockpit noise.<\/p>\n<p>So thanks to running into Joe at the airport the other day, we might be ordering the Zulu sometime soon. Joe, please don\u2019t buy a Garmin 696. If you do, please don\u2019t tell me about it!\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"5c021ec372bbf5ef7bc49667f204e25b\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-9403868243279347\";\r\n\/* ACLogBLog468x60, created 8\/4\/10 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"4954448922\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pam and I pulled up to the hangar to check on Betsy and we saw hangar neighbor Joe\u2019s SUV parked next door.
