More pilots are making the switch to ultra-lightweight earphone-based headsets for superior comfort and communications. Introduced by LightSPEED in July 2005, the LightFlight Mach 1 earphone-style headset incorporates the improved design and enhanced functionality of a third-generation product.

The Mach 1 headset weighs barely 1 ounce, yet it is durable in the cockpit and in your flight bag between flights. The In-The-Ear earpiece provides the quiet and speech clarity of a full size headset. The Mach 1 is designed to interface with general aviation radios and intercoms and comes equipped with a cell phone and music interface to complement your flights.
