Summary
246 Max tests out the new Lightspeed Delta Zulu Headset with a CO monitor and frequency equalizer built into the headset. The carbon monoxide monitor is always on and alerts you if the CO exceeds thresholds you can set. It also has an equalizer that compensates for any hearing loss you may have, so you get a cleaner sound. A 5-minute setup lets you customize it for your ears.
