Hi Jacko,i used the peltor lite com 3 and they're spot on the mic doesn't pick up any saw noise ,no buttons to press when you want to talk and very clear but not cheap

I have a pair of earmuff mounted class 1 Bluetooth radios. Wireless, clear as a bell and range up to 200m

Anyone take any notice of the stand at APF selling 2-ways? Think they were 50 quid

Hi Jacko

 

I deal with a guy who builds microphone/earmuff speaker systems to suit whichever radios you already have. I've tried the cheaper Motorola ones but am less than satisfied with the quality, which I feel is importaqnt when your trying to get a message to the driver that he needs to lift, sharpish! I plumbed for Alan radios in the end & am very pleased. They were about £140 + £120-140 for the mic/speaker built into a set of Sordin muffs.Total cost within £280 for 2 radios & 2 headsets. Well worth every penny, but it still feels like I'm talking to myself half the time, even though I know they can hear me downstairs. Obviously don't say much worth listening to.

 

Good luck
