Does botty cough have any pictures of his work?

Personal phones and cameras are banned at work and due to the nature of the places we work no photos are allowed.

 

 

So no....

I get Senas professionally installed by a local guy. Normally get at least 3 years out of them which is about the lifespan of a lid anyway.

 

I keep a spare sena headset (not on a helmet) in my van for crane work.

 

I wouldn't dream of doing some jobs without comms these days. Especially crane work where often the driver can't see you at all.

I make them wear a helmet because I still haven't found a headband to take the spare helmet muffs and I'm too tight to buy another comms set to go in some normal muffs. I am good enough to take the visor off for them.

When I first became evangelical about headset comms, I considered supplying/installing them commercially. Going round building sites with a workshop in the back of the van etc. Then realised just about anybody with a dremel could do it.

Answer to OP so far is basically helmet comms are still good, no major advances.

Ah man that is convenient isn't it.

Here is an theory, they just don't want to hear you whine on.
