Robert James Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Standard ones off of Amazon are quite fine for Airsoft uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommoThomson Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Thats what I was looking at, but it means taking you hand off the RIF to get the mic near your mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Samurai Posted August 25, 2019 Supporters Share Posted August 25, 2019 Cheap throat mics don't work. I had that transparent in ear thing but it blocks other sounds and my earhole sweated behind it and it became very uncomfortable in longer games. I settled with something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pin-Earpiece-Headset-PTT-for-QUANSHENG-WOUXUN-TYT-BAOFENG-UV5R-888S-KENWOOD/162569423351?epid=3006831612&hash=item25d9e489f7:g:migAAOSwstJZU6FN But the earpiece is not inside my earhole but next to it. That way I can hear the environment too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DopeYourScope Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I use a mixture of Racals (modified by JCI however there is a wiring diagram on here) and cheap retevis throat mic/clear tube. prefer using the Racals but with a belt kit it’s not really possible due to the amplifier so that stays on my PC for use with my AR as it’s nice going into buildings with pyro knowing you won’t get tinnitus. use the throat mic with my sniper belt and it’s a cheap bit of kit that just about serves the purpose I wouldn’t say that it’s massively clear however if you annunciate well anyway you won’t have an issue.

kasaran Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I just use the little cable one it came with myself. Toyed with over ear style ones akin to ear defenders but that just results in me getting very sweaty ears. Which is annoying as occasionally i would like to have ear defenders on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiercel Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 On a related note, I've not had any luck with Baofeng UV5 radio earpieces, every single one I've had ranging from the cheap cheerful ones they come with up to a £50 TomTac bowman setup have all failed after minimal use. Do people have any tried and tested long lasting recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciyeena Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I've been running a set of Earmor's with their own PTT and I've had quite a good experience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciyeena Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Dude asked for working headset setups and mentioned going so far as a Bowman headset, not that much of a stretch to Earmor's seeing as they're really the only budget headsets worth using.
