I concur! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
To translate for Carlos below -

Awhile ago I wanted to buy a headset that really worked well with my Kenwood radio equipment Kenwood. Online I see that Bob W2ENY optimizes Heil-type headsets and adapts them for use in any
high-frequency radio. After reading the very favorable comments of my North American friends who used them, I contacted Bob to put in my order. I've tried several well-reviewed units with good reports.

Once I received Bob's headset, I hooked it up to test in my shack. I worked a good handful of DX, and when asking about the quality of my audio and modulation, all contacts agreed saying that it was of very good quality.. Truthfully, it projects very well. Even in today's poor conditions, I worked - among others - 3Y0E, petrus on Bouvet Island, breaking pileups with my first call, using just 100W.

I am very pleased with the purchase, for about 38 Euros (postage to Spain included), of this headset with its PTT, adapted and optimized
for a perfect operation with the Kenwood. This headset is superior to other established brands; its finish and operation is simply superb.

Thanks Bob W2ENY, for using your time, work and knowledge in service to the ham community, at friendly prices.

Best regards,
EA1EYG/Carlos

Great sound, fast shipping. I've been doing both DX and ragchew and I gotten so many good reports at a fraction of Heils prices! - I just sold off all my Heil stuff and boiught another headset from this guy!

Excellent for the price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Purchased 2 sets of these great little headsets, 1 for a ic 718 the other for a pro3. Delivered from the states in around a week, well packaged, tested them on the two rigs and i am quite amazed at how good they sound rx and especially tx. As for the ic 718 they were crisp and clear, louder than the stock mic. On the pro3 we compared them with a heil hc4 & hc5 and a heil icm stick mic, it beat the hc 4 and 5 easily and sounded almost exactly the same as the icm, no compressor required. If your searching for a lightweight, take them anywhere kind of headset that doesn't cost the earth then your search could be over,
For 80 US$ thats around £21 gbp per set they are hard to beat.

Many Thanks to Bob W2ENY for a very good product.

Regards Bob

Estupendos microcascos a inmejorable precio Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Desde hace un tiempo deseaba comprar unos microcascos que realmente funcionasen bien con mis equipos de radio Kenwood HF, pero no estaba dispuesto a dejarme la cartera en unos Heil, pues sólo los necesitaba para usarlos de forma eventual.
Esto me llevo abuscar en la red y conocer los que comercializa el amigo Bob W2ENY, él los optimiza y adapta para el uso en cualquier equipo de HF.
Leí los comentarios tan favorables de aquellos amigos norteamericanos que los usaban y esto me llevó a ponerme en contacto con Bob y realizar mi pedido.
He de deciros que era un tanto excéptico, ante tan buenos comentarios, pero una vez recibidos, esa misma tarde me dispuse a probarlos en mi shack... realicé un buen puñado de Dx y al preguntar a mis corresponsales por la calidad de mi audio y modulación, todos coincidían diciendo que era de muy buena calidad... la verdad es que empujan muy bien, es más en esa primera prueba y a pesar de que las condiciones de propagación son nefastas ahora, pude trabajar, entre otros, 3Y0E el amigo Petrus desde Bouvet Is. rompiendo el pile up a la primera llamada con sólo 100w.
Estoy muy contento con la compra, por unos 38 euros unos microcascos con su PTT, adaptados y optimizados para un perfecto funcionamiento con los HF de Kenwood y con los gastos desde USA a España incluidos; que para nada tienen que envidiar a otros de marcas reconocidas, su acabado y funcionamiento es simplemente inmejorable.
Gracias Bob W2ENY, por poner tu tiempo, trabajo y conocimientos al servcio de la comunidad de radioaficionados, y todo ello a un precio de amigo.
Saludos EA1EYG / Carlos

A Great Little Product! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This could be the best 40 bucks you will spend on radio gear. The headset as supplied and modified by Bob W2ENY is a super performing lightweight headset/boom mic. I also have a Heil BM-10 and the W2ENY product sounds every bit as good for 1/3 the price. These are lightweight units that need to be handle with some care; they aren't fragile but don't beat on them with hammer! In this regard they are just as robust as the Heil BM-10. With reasonable care, the W2ENY headset will give you lots of service with great sounding receive and transmit audio. Thanks Bob!
