My wife bought her a set of LS Sierra headsets and I have been using Zulu's for almost a year.
Today I flew a flight with the Zulu's and they were as usual, great.
Later I flew a flight with the Sierra's and was totally disappointed! I know these things are $200 cheaper than the Zulu's but for $650 these things still need to be good performers!
I actually turned them on and off a couple times in flight to make sure they were actually on (they were). They seem to have little to no low frequency noise reduction as it sounded like a bass drum beating with each engine pulse. There was noticable more high frequency noise as well. I heard lots more squeaks, rattles, wind noise, etc. than I do with the Zulu's. Even though the headband seems to clamp harder than the Zulu's, if I pressed the earcups against the side of my head, the high freq/wind noise was reduced significantly.
I have sent a note to LS support to see if this is normal or if I got a lemon. At this point I would not recommend the Sierra's due to poor performance in an RV. My experience is that the Zulu's are worth the $200 difference in price!
