Lightspeed Tall Head Pad for Zulu Series and Zulu PFX Headsets is the quiet upgrade for the pilot whose ear cups rest on the tops of the ears instead of around them.

A premium headset only delivers true quiet when the ear seals close completely against your head. When the ear cups ride too high, the seal opens at the bottom edge, allowing cockpit noise to leak straight in while a warbling sound can develop behind it. You feel this as pressure on the tops of your ears and hear it as distracting noise that breaks your focus. If you collapse the headband sliders completely and still cannot center the ear cups, this official accessory provides the perfect solution.

Center Your Ears and Restore the Quiet

Wondering why your ears still are not centered within the ear cups after collapsing the sliders all the way? This optional tall head pad adapts your gear for smaller sized heads. The added height carries both ear cups lower on your head, ensuring your ears sit fully inside them and the noise seal closes completely. A proper fit is what lets a good headset disappear on your head, allowing the engine roar to fall away so the only things left in the cups are the radio and the airplane.

Broad Compatibility and Quick Changes

Designed to fit a wide range of models, this pad is compatible with the Delta Zulu, Zulu 4, Zulu 3, Zulu 2, the Original Zulu, and the Zulu PFX. Lightspeed recommends replacing head pads every 18 months, and the pad on your headset comes off in seconds: simply pinch the cushioned part of the head pad, pull down, and it will snap out for an immediate upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the tall head pad meant for a larger head?

No, it is the other way around. This is the optional tall head pad that adapts the Zulu Series and PFX headsets for smaller sized heads. The added height carries the ear cups lower on your head, which is what a smaller head needs once the sliders have run out of travel.

Which Lightspeed headsets does it fit?

It fits the Lightspeed Delta Zulu, Zulu 4, Zulu 3, Zulu 2, the Original Zulu and the Zulu PFX. The Zulu 2, the Original Zulu and the PFX are legacy headsets, and the pad still fits them. Sierra and Tango headsets take a different head pad.

How do I know I need the tall head pad?

Collapse the headband sliders completely. If your ears still are not centered within the ear cups, or the cups are resting on the tops of your ears rather than around them, the tall head pad is the part you want.

How is this different from the head pad that came with my headset?

Your headset shipped with the standard sized head pad. This one is taller, and that added height is what carries the ear cups lower. The photos on this page include Lightspeed's own side by side comparison of the two, which is the fastest way to see the difference.

Will it make my headset quieter?

It changes fit, not electronics. A gap in the ear seal costs you noise reduction and can bring on a warbling noise in the cups. Getting the cups down to where your ears actually sit is what lets the seals close against your head again.

How often should a head pad be replaced?

Lightspeed recommends replacing head pads every 18 months. A pad that has flattened with use no longer holds the ear cups at the height you set, so a fresh one renews the fit and the comfort together.
