Communication Headset with Helmet
« on: January 16, 2013, 11:29:01 AM »
My current setup for head-wear is an IBH style helmet, Desert Locust Goggles, and a shemagh (sometimes pulled up to the goggles depending on the situation. And I am looking for a decent Comm headset without shelling out a few hundred dollars.

I have two options in mind, the first being a Bravo headset, which by the design looks like it will fit with the helmet quite nicely. Link here http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=522_346&products_id=6452

A question regarding that headset, from the images it is difficult to tell whether there is one earpiece or two, does anyone know for certain?

The second option (which would be preferable) is a midland radio throat mike, but are they of decent quality? I've known people who have owned throat mikes, but they had difficulty with voice clarity to the point they became unusable. I am thinking this model in particular http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=522_346&products_id=10740

if anyone has any experience or alternatives that worked for them, its all appreciated, I am prepping to go to LC in May.

I used to run a throat mike,and its not worth it. If you don't have it positioned just right nobody will hear what you have to say without it being garbled. Also you need to adjust it all the time if you are moving a lot. I have the bravo headset you are looking at and I like it. The sound is clear in ear piece but you must keep the volume down because if its to high,when you are near the enemy they can hear what you hear. And go to evike they are a lot cheaper. Got mine for half that.
