[Wee Jim]

Does anyone have/use the huqvarna ear defenders with the build in radio?? I tried some on at my local dealers and i liked them as i work on my own i dont really have to worry about anyone shouting at me so i might get a pair!

I got a pair and they work well. they don't get through batteries too quick.

 

Very handy when driving a mog that hasn't a radio.

 

don't use them for felling though. for some reason all precision goes out of the window when your listening to music.

 

 

 

'couse, you do look like a little radio controlled android walking about.

Got some Peltor ones wear them all day sometimes.

I just use a very small radio and wear the ear phones under my ear defenders.

I've a pair that are about 7 years old now and still working (just) - have snapped the aerial off and cobbled it back on at least twice, and resoldered a couple of wires over time - well worth the investment if your working alone a fair bit

I use them a lot, hat FM. Good for log days of log splitting!! I found you are better getting the head band type and fitting it to your helmet, better reception and the ariel is a lot more robust

I tried a pair of Peltor ones but the recption was bad and the constant interferance evry time I moved drove me nuts. I now use a MP3 player and just stick the earphones in under my normal ear defenders. Works heaps better.

O yes, I had forgotten that! Thats exactly what I did. bodged a pair of headband radios that I bought from radmore and tuckers in Exeter .

 

They were flogging them off at the time fo about £30, which is a bit more resonable than the £590.99 (slight exaggeration) price that the radio / helmet combos normally were.

 

£30 is still pricey for a radio, but I think they have paid for themselves over the years.

 

Fitted nicely onto one of those husky climbing lids which had had the peak sheared off.

got a pair of peltors, had them a couple of years now really pleased with them, i think they cost about £80 now,
