Headsets

[2RIR]

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a headset for my son and I and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I see there's plenty of choice but are they any good, was hoping to see whoever has a set thinks they are worth their money. Thanks in advance.

Are you on about some rip off Comtacs? They do the job you need for airsofting. Some even have noise cancelling/amplification on them. Obviously nothing like the read deal, but they do the trick. Do you want comms aswell? They work with Baofengs too, if that is what you are running.

Yeah something that ain't going to break the bank, looking, say the earmor, by the time you get the ptt etc it's nearly £200 x 2 if i get one as well, which i pretty much have to or there's no sense. I have the coms and just using fist mics was just wondering if they do enhance the sound, cancel out the highs etc etc.

You're going to love me or hate me, but let me introduce you to AliExpress. They do earmors at a fraction of the cost, and from what I can tell they're identical to the ones you'd buy locally.

 

Now that you know AliExpress exists, have fun buying loads of cheap tat for airsoft that you don't really need. You're welcome.

I took my chance with some Ali express earmors. Fraction of the cost, arrived with one cup outputting constant static unfortunately.

How are you getting to £200 a person?

 

earmorstore.co.uk has you at £130 shipped p/p.

 

What you're getting for the extra over Aliexpress is no quibbles warranty access. I had a unit with a faulty cable, 10 minutes of back and forth in emails of diagnosis, brand new unit at no cost.

I paid as little as £32 for the Earmor M32 Mod.4 from AliExpress. There's really no need to go about buying from de facto dropshipping UK outlets - when you can buy them for as little as £26 (without PTT wiring) with free shipping, and a pretty straightforward full refund policy by AliExpress for if anything is faulty with the item.
