Excellent value! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have a lot of headset / mic combos. Some commercial, a lot are home brew. I have had great service from my Warren Gregorie TS-2000 headset. Yes, it does have some 'slippage' issues now that it is 9 years old. I have also had some plastic parts break. I still regard it highly. Reading the reviews for the WG, people either love it or hate it......

After reading the great reviews on here for the Audio-Comm headset, I decided to take the plunge. Since the cost was low, what the heck?
I received them today, and I was VERY impressed. Comfortable and very light.
I'm not a big fan of 'adapters', but Alan supplies a very nice 1/8" stereo to 1/4" stereo adapter. Since the radios I will be using the headset with have a 1/4" mono 'phone' jack, I just cut off the 1/8" stereo plug and wired it to a 1/4" mono plug. easy.
The audio (both transmit and receive) is excellent with my Icoms. I didn't realize that the PTT switch was available. However, I whipped up a couple today for free, using small pill bottles and a RS push button switch. All were in ye olde junque box. ha ha
Why did I make 2 switches? Because I am going to order another headset today for the 432 station!
You will be very happy!!

Decent Headset Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The mic on this thing is great! Using it with a 746pro. Had lots of excellent reports on my audio. I didn't find the the ear pads to be anything special, but ok. Was shipped fast and well packed.

Excellent Product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I do a lot of contesting and this just great. It is comfortable to wear and has excellent audio response. I am presently using it on a Kenwood TS-450S. It is an excellent value and I am well pleased with it. I might add that Alan offers exceptional Customer Service.

Top notch product Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I purchased the Audio-Comm headset mic and I couldn't be more pleased. I paid $44 and got far more than I expected. I have received very positive feedback on my audio quality and others are amazed at the low cost of this headset. Ham radio can be an expensive hobby and it is refreshing to find that quality does not always have to cost an arm and a leg. I have Heil and Icom mics among others in my shack and they are great mics, as they should be since they cost about 4-5 times the price of the Audio-Comm. I feel I get audio quality equal to them with the Audio-Comm and my wallet is not empty.

DUAL-EARPHONE SPEAKER-MIC Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I PURCHASED A DUAL "PRO HEADSET/MIC FROM AUDIO-COMM;"
(ALAN, WA2AC) ON E-BAY FOR $39.95. IT IS DEFINATELY ONE OF THE BEST VALUES FOR YOUR DOLLAR AVAILABLE!!

I have had consistantly excellent reports on my transmitted audio, from everyone. And no, it isnt a Heil, but if I told you that on the air, I am sure you wouldnt doubt me, plus it didnt cost me an arm and a leg either!! The earpads are large and comfortable, yet the unit is very light-weight. I have used it for several contests and it REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE! You dont need 3-4 hands anymore, two will do. They control the back ground noise quite well(cant even hear the wife behind me anymore) (yep, worth the price right there,lol). all in all; an excellent value.
Alen ships fast and well packed. He also sells a manual on-off switch, but I made my own in 5 minutes(this plugs into the available jack on the headset). His headsets come in large and small; one ear or two, and all are well made. PLEASE DO YOUR SELF A BIG FAVOR....check out AUDIO-COMM on E-Bay, before plunking down your many dollars on an equally good but expensive set......you wont be sorry.
This is the fIrst time I have ever left a review on any product, and the first time I have ever written back to the seller telling him how happy I am with hIs product. I wouldnt do so unless I really believed and liked a product this well, AND I DO!

Great Sound/Price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I Picked these up to see how they would work on my Yaeseu FT-450.

All reports are great. The headset fills great and the audio sounds good. They feel so good that I forget they are there on my head, and I usually can't stand to wear a headset.

Not bad for 39.00. Yes its not a 200.00 item and they shouldn't be.

Only issue: No PTT line off of there so using VOX only.

For the price/performance this is a great item.

I am sure it my not match everybodys voice but it does mine.

Not sure on the durability but I don't see an issue
