Arborcom from Talking Headsets - Product Review

[bob]

i would be very interested in doing a review

had a go for a day and found them good but fixings were poor on muffs which spoilt them a little bit

and as they are expensive i would like to have a proper go or see decent feedback

Looking forward to a 3-way upgrade too. That would make them just about spot on!!

 

Multi-way would be perfect,if lookouts could warn a string of brush cutter operators of approaching public it would make the job a whole lot safer.

Many thanks to all who responded.

 

Bob has kindly agreed to conduct the review for us. Hopefully, depending how quickly the supplier can get the kit to him, we will be able to get his thoughts and opinions into the October issue of eA.

 

Once again many thanks, and watch this space for further requests for help!

I tried this product at Jonesies show, and was totally impressed. Josharb went over to Rob Dyers stand and "borrowed" a 50ish cc saw and revved it flat out, and we continue chatting as if we were standing beside one another. The noise cancelling is superb. The only fly iin the ointment is the current trend for climbers to wear ear plugs instead of ear defenders, rendering the defender mounted system useless. Personally I would love to use these to improve communications in many aspects of tree work, from forestry, woodland, crane, and rigging jobs, just have to justify the price tag to myself.

We have had a lot of positive response about the headsets, which I will feedback to the manufacturers, along with Bob's review. Many thanks for all your comments.

I have had a good try with them.

 

When the issue with the helmet mounts providing a good fit against the ear is resolved, I will likely get a pair.

 

At the moment, for the price of them, they need to be perfect and they aren't quite there yet.

have heard they may be with me next week

so looking forward to putting them to work:cursing:

you think to hard about this kind of stuff andy, just buy them mate, you wont look back. if you are working with steve and his ear plugs then it doent matter because you dont need to telll him anything, he knows what he is doing. but if you ever have any newbies on site or machine men, then put it in your RA that they need to wear them or walk:thumbup1:

After selling a few pairs on here and getting the good feedback, we now keep them in stock. I think although a bit expensive they are going to be on most peoples wish list this Christmas.
