 Save your money August 29, 2002

I bought 2 of these along with the Cobra FRS radios so that my wife and I could drive our own cars across country and still communicate. The radios worked fine, but the headsets were an absolute waste of money. First off, the batterys wouldn't seat properly, so sometimes they worked, but sometimes they didn't. Then there was the trouble with getting the vox and volume settings set properly that others have complained about. Plus, the mikes won't stay where you put them. So we threw them in the back seats, and used our radios as handhelds all the way from San Diego to North Carolina.
 Nice but far from perfect March 18, 2001

This is a nice product. It has many good features and given it were a little better put together it would be a perfect product.The problems I found with the product are as follows: 1) The VOX is useful but doesn't always work as one would hope. It has a tendency to pick up every little sound and if you turn down the sensitivity then the VOX won't pick up every word so you have choppy transmissions. Examples Too High : "(air from walking, breathing) Hey this is so-and-so and I am back at camp. (more air from walking, breathing) BLEEP(end of transmission signal) (more breathing and air)" Too Low : "This BLEEP so-and-so BLEEP camp BLEEP" It might be possible to find a perfect setting, but I sure haven't found it yet and I have been playing around with them. 2) The PTT button is kind of sensitive. When I use the PTT (which is always since VOX would pick up any and every paintball shot) the button is very similar to the buttons on my FRS-100 because they have to be pushed hard and right in the center. Press any bit off of the center of the button and you will get choppy transmission similar to the ones in the VOX example. Don't get me wrong, they are kinda nice and if you are willing to put up with the PTT button and the VOX, they are wonderful. ...

I used it when i was hunting for ducks in NY, it worked great. The sound was good and i could walk without it moving. It is a hassle to have to pick up the radio so this is a great product for people like me( lazy).

This works great! We used it for paintball and the fact that it is hands free, was all I needed to hear. It worked perfectly. Highly recomend this for those weekend paintballers like myself.
