Loose Plastic in Ear Can / Yaesu 450D Issues Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My review would be a "OK" but is actually a needs help. I got my headset and it sounded like a child's rattle. I had to take off the foam ear thankfully on the non boom earpiece, disassemble the three screws holding the ear speaker on and remove a thumbnail sized chunk of plastic floating around and making a rattle with the slightest motion. I got it put back together but you know that is a PITA. The second issue is that is drives a Yaesu FT-450D too hard. I did multiple tests with multiples hams and they all told me to stick with the hand mic and that the standard cheap vanilla mic was much better sounding. I will chalk it up to impedance mismatching that no one could have seen. There is no point in trying to return or whatever I don't think it's worth the postage and hassle of the post office.

Much better than expected Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Decided to give fone a go normally a CW op. Didn't want to re mortgage the house so went looking for an economical solution (read cheap).

Ordered via Ebay, there inhouse shipping is slow. Product arrived well packed and just as described.
Now the good bit, reports are: much better than the standard Icom mic, you sound better than most people on the band, how much did you spend is sounds like an expensive one.

A tiny little bit of tailoring on the 7610 and its just the bee's knee's for me.

Well done W2ENY

It Does the Job Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My IC-7600 is in a room with hard floors, nothing on the walls, and major echo in both transmitting and receiving. I tried a variety of mics including Heil and Icom and all got mediocre reports. No speaker worked, although headsets did, so I decided to try the W2ENY Premium Headset. Once I adjusted the 7600's mic settings, my problem was finally solved. It works very well.

Great! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Unanticipated replacement for a lightly used Heil ProSet 5/HC5 which broke. Headphones are lightweight, comfortable and sound great. Microphone output to my new Yaesu FT-991 is high compared to the stock mic (which in and of itself, got good reports). Reports received on transmit audio have been very positive: pleasant/natural voice with good articulation. Supplied adaptor cables for Yaesu seem a bit light but are probably adequate.

Ordered late on 6/18/2015 and got it 6/20/2015. Good service!

Not bad Time Owned: more than 12 months.
It works as advertised.It gets good audio reports.It sounds good to my ears. The only downside I have found, it does not have much sound deadening. If you contest alone it is a fine headset. If your multi multi in the same room you may need something better. overall I like it. It is the second one I've purchased

Excellent headset Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I use this headset with my Kenwood TS-830 and get glowing audio reports. Initially had a problem with RF feedback but Bob was very helpful in curing the problem. Great product, value, and excellent service.

works fine Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
For the money this setup is hard to beat. The headset audio is a little tin-nie and can cause audio fatigue after several hours of use - but hey, this isn't a studio quality piece.

The mic gets good reports - nice full audio. The adapters included for my FT-857D were very well made and should stand up to years of abuse.

bad quality Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
The only reason this is a 4 and not a 3 is due to the fact that he replaced a headset/boom mic set for free. The item was a real POS, unlike the first time I dealt with this seller. Before I buy anything else from him, I would like very much to talk with him, face-to-face regarding the quality of the stuff he sells.

FANTASTIC Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The best money I have spent on any of my Ham equipment. Great audio reports for less the money. I get better audio reports from W2ENY's premium headset and boom mic them my MC-60 Kenwood mic

Great value for money Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
It arrived this morning, and I plugged it straight into my IC-706MkIIG.

My first contact (VK6ABS) using the new setup gave me an unsolicited comment that my signal was "broadcast quality" and asked me what microphone I was using.

My third purchase from Bob, and happy with all of them.
