BETTER THAN EXPECTED Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
FIRST OFF, I AM USING THESE WITH A YAESU FT-950. I HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH RF, BUT 3 WRAPS THROUGH A FERRITE CORE FIXED THAT. ALSO THE HEADBAND WAS A LITTLE LOOSE, I SET THEM TO FIT AND ZIP TIED EACH SIDE NEATLY SO THEY WOULDN'T SLIP. I GET GREAT AUDIO REPORTS ON ALMOST EVERY CONTACT. THE HEADSET COMES WITH THE RADIO ADAPTER, WHAT A BARGAIN. I WOULD'VE GAVE THEM A 5 IF IT WASN'T FROM THE RF ISSUES. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE HEADSET MIC., THIS IS IT! I AM NOT USING ANY EXTERNAL EQ, JUST THE RADIO. I WOULD RECOMMEND THESE TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A HEADSET MIC..

Great Headet for the money Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have had my Audio-Comm Headset now for a few days. Really easy to wear, easy to hook up with supplied plug for my IC-7000. Much better then the stock mic. Padding on top is a nice touch.. I plan to buy another of the single sided headset for mobile work.. Alan ships fast and is quick to email you back fast with any questions you may have. He also keeps you informed after purchase on shipping.. I have tried other cheaper brands and will stick with Alan's product. Items are packed well and shipped fast.. Thanks again Alan.

Okay for the Price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I've owned my Audio-Comm Boom Mic headset for a few weeks now and have been using it on a Tentec Orion. For the price, you get a lot.
The unit is well packed and the shipping is swift. The product comes with a custom adapter for the individual brand/model of radio being used. It worked properly right out of the box.
However, I have noted over the past two weeks that the telescoping adjustment on the left earphone headband has already become quite loose and does not hold its position very well. I found wearing the headset was fatiguing because the earphone, even when adjusted, still pressed too firmly against my ears.
The sound output and sensitivity of the headphones is acceptable, so no fault there.
The mic element appears to be a condenser electret with a very flat audio passband and plenty of output. I found it to be far too muddy on my Orion so I started to use the various EQ, low freq. rolloff, transmit bandwidth and speech processing tools to "brighten" it up. After those adjustments, it sounded acceptable to most amateurs I talked with on SSB.
For the price point, it offers acceptable voice quality and features. I am surprised, however, that the plastic headband adjustment became so loose so quickly on my unit. I'll use this product as a backup to my other boom headset.

Passed The Test! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I work the 13 Original Colonies Special Event in July each year. I am K2A in New York. I ordered the single headset with boom mike for the SE for last July 2009. No way was I going to use my desk mic. The single earset worked flawlessly. I racked up over 1200 "Qs" in 4 days. For this year 2010, I decided to go with the dual headset model. I ordered them in January and tried it out working the SSB DX contest. Again, they performed better than expected. Good audio reports, low background noise and were comfortable. For the price, you cannot go wrong!. This July I will be putting them through the paces again..With probably over 2000 "Qs" in 5 days. I am very satisfied and recommend these headsets highly..

Beyond competition Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I purchased from Audio-Comm on eBay a SINGLE ear headset with adjustable boom mic for use on VHF.
Very fast overseas delivery: after 10 days it was already in my hands!
This headset produce only positive emotions: light weight, very convenience in everyday use with IC-706MKIIG.
Many hams noted the excellent quality of the sound his microphone- clear and very readable for ragchewing and DX hunting.
In conclusion, I will say that my expenses were fully justified.
Regards to all 4Z5NU, 73!

P.S. Before above headset i`ve tried HM-103 with alone and one-big-punch mod add-on from W4RT.
The add-on make some improvement to the transmitted voice but not enough.

Great Headset !!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Great headset!! I had a Heil Traveler Headset and after a few years it broke. I saw this one on ebay purchased it and just received it. I wish got this first off instead of the Heil. This one is built better and at a cheaper price. You live and learn.

they are great for the buck Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I was skeptical of ordering a full headset for that price not that I didn't like the price but so many more are a lot more money,I contacted Alan and talked to him about them and a couple of custom things I also wanted done and he was fast to respond and also was willing to do the custom things also with a guart.if its dosen't work send it back and get a refund you don't get any better than that I ordered the headset recieved it lightning fast they are great for the buck and customer relations couldn't be better you can't go wrong with him.

excellent!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased the Audio-Comm headset mic from the EBAY and I couldn't be happier. I am sure that you will absolutely love this headset. I am using it on a Yaesu FT-897 with a modular mike adapter that was part of the package. This adapter came with a PTT out and I plugged my PTT in and it works perfectly. I am getting better reports with this combo than I did with my Pro Set from Heil at about 1/3rd the cost. This headset is comfortable and light enough for extended wear during contesting. Does a great job of blocking background noise. Alan, WA2AC is very helpful and a gentleman. Thank you again Alan. The service is very fast and courteous. IMHO you cannot buy a better headset than Audio-Comm, but you can spend a lot more money if you want.
