Throat mics - Worth the price?

[RabidNinja64]

Just for the sake of looking cool and updating my radio gear, im tempted to go after a headset; namely. this one:

Would just like to know if the Bowman headset is worth the price and has little issues and if throat mics are effecient as opposed to the standard boom mic?

 

thanks.

Z Tac is not up to much.

 

£20 for a throat mic is really cheap.

 

Its fine if you just want it for looks.

 

If you want reliable comms for airsoft, be prepared to pay a lot more.

Well i run a Retevis h-777 with the added earmic which isnt too bad for about a miles worth of comms. my mini-squad rarely use them, if needed but other than that really it's just the bowman im after; the throat mic is just an extra

The link you put up is just for the mic I think.

 

The only decent Bowman on the market is the real thing.

 

The Z Tac stuff is fine if you accept that the quality is not great and it tends to break quite quickly, but its cheap.

 

It really depends what you want and much of a problem it is if you lose comms during a game.
