Inexpensive Tactical Headset Kits...That actually work

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

These Howard's are a great setup for even offroading as well so you don't have to keep grabbing the hand speaker mic for the 50w unit or even the handy talkie

[@ryanz6896]

Another fantastic to the point video. No fluff and everything I wanted to know. Thank you for your service to the community.

[@billleblanc819]

Scott I’ve watched a number of your videos now and must say you sound well informed and communicate that knowledge better than many in your tutorials. Keep up the fine work!

[@commonsensepatriot9450]

Great video and thank you so much for doing it. I've run the Howard's for years and love them. Now to upgrade.

[@metaldetective6634]

Scott, another great video as always. I guess I’ve bought too much gear over the years, because ironically I have a set of each of these headsets that I had forgotten about. Now I can spend less than $100 outfitting both of them. 👍

[@KS6DAY]

Nice. I've experienced the same thing many times. I go digging for something in my garage and discover stuff I forgot I had and can't remember why or when I bought it. It's always a nice surprise.

[@jamiemcnay]

​@KS6DAY same here sir. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

[@Bluefalcon714]

Howard audio is superb! Ordered my mic this morning

[@Zookeeper63]

Good review. I’ve been looking at cobbling something together for my Howards, but you just hit the easy button. Thank you.

[@Mrclean308]

Thanks for the video. I bought the Razor muffs to replace some old Caldwell electronic muffs I've had for years. I can't believe how noisy the Razors are! Even the $20 Caldwell muffs I had been using didn't have all the static-like noise. I ordered a set of Impact Sports after seeing your video. I can't believe the Walkers Razors wouldn't get a fix to make them less annoying.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

My favorite are The Liberator II they are amazing

[@Lord_of_the_Edgelords]

Good info. I've been trying to figure out how to utilize my Walkers as a poor man's Comtac. This'll help me get started.

[@bodhi974]

I’m glad I found your video. I’ve been looking around for a headset for coms and other. I’m not an airsofter, roleplayer, larper or what ever you want to call it but have a need for a set like this. I’ve been a long standing Howard Leight earmuff guy and I have that book mic in my Amazon cart. Great video!

[@randygc3704]

Just got my Howard Leight and boom mike kit. Went together with no problems and everything worked right out of the box. Purchased to use with my Kenwood and TYT amateur radios in loud noise environments (Such as parade marshalling near a marching band practicing) Reports from other hams .on the audio quality the mic were outstanding. The only issue I have is a motorboating sound in my headset when transmitting on DMR. It does not affect the outgoing transmission so I assume it's RFI into the headset. I had a similar issue on analog VHF, but a couple of ferrites clipped on to the speaker lead cured that. I'm assuming that shielding is one of the things you give up when you get something at this price point vs the professional gear. I'm OK with that as the noise is only on transmit, does not affect outgoing audio, and I can turn down the volume on the headset if it starts to bother me. I would give this a 4.5/5 for now pending testing at an actual public service event. The transmit RFI noise is annoying but not a deal breaker. Thanks for the heads up on this set up! 73 Randy KAØAZS

[@allseeingI5]

Ordered the Howard leight version and then found this video, even more happy about leaving the walkers stock

[@mikechecks5994]

I’m intrigued. But did you hear anything about the earmor m32 mod4. Supposedly, they are good ear pro that are waterproof and come with the boom mic for about 100 as well. I’m on the fence about which option to go with

[@notsure7874]

Man, I just got those Walker's, I really wish I'd have seen this video first! I guess I'll have to operate on the "you don't know what you don't know" thing for a while myself!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

They both sounds good but the Howard's sounds slitley clearer

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Walker razors are amazing

[@AkiataSkirata]

Thank you for the great review.

[@arthurfranco9191]

This is a great video! Thank you! I do have Walker Razers and I installed the Walkie Talkie set up on it, not so bad. I also have Peltor Comtac V and Comtact VI with PTT. Both Peltors are super comfy! Yeah the Comtac VI with single download is $1,100 or so. My Peltor V set is attached to my ballistic helmet. I never tried the Howard Leights but your review is concise and wish I saw it before I bought the Walkers. I’ll use the Walkers on occasion or use as a loaner but my go to are both Peltors.

[@bigal9808]

Fantastic video! Thank you!

[@BobBob-il2ku]

I believe your vx6-r PTT would have to be non-amplified to work with these headset/adapters.

[@BryndonBlackburn]

Just grabbed the howard leight version. I've been looking for a microphone solution for them for a long time now.

[@masi_man_tony9503]

The Walker attachment will not allow certain helmet attachment options if that matters to anyone.

[@clint4237]

Another all in one option is the Retevis, which is affordable, comes with everything including the PTT, and works great.

[@4x4le]

I have a set of 3m peltors with no coms. They are mostly handouts now. I do however want a set to attach to my bump helmet. The impact setup looks good to go. I think the walkers setup would interfere with the attachment to the helmet.

[@KS6DAY]

I definitely can see the top/bottom clamp system of the Walkers being a problem with an ATE type helmet. It's just too bulky. The Impacts and the headset kit for them are, by far, the superior set up.

[@strykeback1]

I wonder if the new digital razors would make a difference as the razors you have are mono stereo. Everyone says the digital razors are much better. I’ve had my Howard Leigh’s for 12 or 13 years and they are just falling apart from the heat in the garage but the sound was always great

[@jamesperkins5468]

Why did I have to find this the day after I ordered my walkers... Oh well. Now I just need to learn how to operate my GMRS radio.

[@HardcoreFourSix]

What about the competition between radio audio and ambient noise audio? is one prioritized over the other, or do they mix 50/50?

[@beelikestowatch]

Great job on the video. I've used Impact sports for years, I have the chest mic setup now but this seems much handier, think I will upgrade. Then use the chest mic/earpiece setup when no firearms are involved.

[@Fishman138]

Great info ! thanks for sharing.

[@99cobra2881]

Its been a year hows this setup for the Howard Leights working?

[@KS6DAY]

Fantastic. In fact, that's the topic of the video that I'm working on today. Not only have the Howards held up and worked great, but they have emerged as the clear winner of the three different setups that I have been using during that time.

[@99cobra2881]

@ cool and good to know the algo worked well suggesting this video Ill sub to help out and do my part Thanks!

[@Keanu1304]

Have you got a solution for left handeds? because unfortunately these headsets only have an AUX port on the left side.

[@KS6DAY]

No solution for adapting Walkers or Howard Leights. But the Earmor M32 headset is around the same price as buying a set of Walkers or Howard Leights plus the comm kit. The Earmor M32 can be easily set up for left-handed users and is a solid performer. Here is a link to my review of the M32 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3nGm62Qns2jb6Msi=3TywtOh8Y3MKngQt

[@Keanu1304]

@KS6DAY Appreciate it. Haven't heard good news about that one. I do have a PTT from Earmor, but The Headsets seem to be only gold For Airsoft, if at All.

[@vinceruland9236]

Are these VOX compatible? Sorry if i missed it in the video

[@Grognarthebarb]

Please redo your test but sitting on your lawnmower with it running. I wanna see if they have any noise canceling to use them on equipment

[@amitnachman3840]

does the radio audio still come through when the electronic reduction works? as in when someone is firing next to you?

[@KS6DAY]

Here is a follow up video that answers that exact question - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmasnKebp7qjmZYsi=4HWvAlcgAB8Y9BJ3

[@Patryk24k]

I have a set of Peltor comtac v and my wife has a set of Howard Leight Impact Sports would I be able to communicate with her with a set up that you have? Or does she need to upgrade to something higher end also? Im looking to get a UV-5R

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Walker do have a Boom mic attachment for these headsets Scott but they don't seem to work Great @KS6DAY

[@JohnKlopp]

Wal-Mart has the Howard Leight Sport Impact for 40% off for Black Friday sale. Just picked some up.

[@KS6DAY]

Nice tip! Thanks for the info.

[@roninsixx3541]

Been running the same set of howard leight for 5 years

[@cattalarico1356]

Just curious but has anyone or does anyone know if the smaller mic unit will fit in the walker model and does the plug fit in at the right angle?

[@MrDucpilot]

Hello, great video, do they make a set for the Howard Leights that would plug in to the VX6R? Thank you

[@KS6DAY]

I'm still looking for a U94 PTT adapter for the VX-6. I ordered one in and it was defective. I might have one next week though. If it works, I will definitely do a video on it.

[@LanceKTM950]

@@KS6DAYDid you ever get setup for use on the VX-6?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

SkyEye Tactical Has Amazing Ptt Setups for Military grade Headset Accessories like the genuine U94 PTT Custom built to work with K1 connectors for cheaper headsets 10:15 @KS6DAY

[@weps3487]

Nothing against SkyEye, but Disco32 makes PTT at the same price point.

[@kruiser5004]

@KS6DAY I ordered this, I’m very pleased! But I’m wondering if there are any aftermarket PTTs that will work with this unit? I have a CodeRed throat mic with NATO plug hooked to an amplified NX Dual Comm PTT and it does not work with this headset.

[@KS6DAY]

The U94 PTT's that are sold by this vendor on Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B3J6HS18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 are very good. I bought one of their M1 plug variants to use with my Yaesu FT-65 and it turned out to be much better than the ones that come with the headset kit.

[@TheXanthoman]

What brand and where do you get the add on kit for the howards ? Didnt find anything on the howard website but did find a couple of different aftermarket brands for the howard add on ? Any clarification greatly appreciated , thanks

Did you happen to find a U94 PTT adapter to fit 2 pin Yaesu such as the FT-65?

[@montelong660]

I'm pretty sure that Disco32 makes one.

[@mikebarnard9285]

Do you know of a Microphone & PTT for Howard Leight Impact Sports but to fit the Yaesu FT-65?

[@KS6DAY]

Not yet. But I'm working on it. Fortunately, the FT-65 utilizes a Motorola M plug and I know those are available. I should have news within a week or so.

[@armani_5.565]

Have totally opposite experience with impact sports they are my loaners now. Have upgraded to peltor tac 500's about 100 bucks for 26nrr protection.

[@KS6DAY]

I didn't know they made a Tactical Headset Kit for the Peltor Tac 500's. I will have to look into that.

[@jonathannbullitt]

Any link please, as pertor offer is very confusing

[@BobBob-il2ku]

Earmor m32 is rated for gun fire & gets good reviews $90

[@BobBob-il2ku]

They sell a replacement boom mic that is Dynamic so you can use amplified or non amplified PTT by swapping the boom mic.

[@KS6DAY]

I will look into the Earmor gear. Thanks for the tip.

Great review I just ordered 2 sets because of your video

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I do agree the Walker pass through is amazing when the batteries die but the audio quality on the Howard's is 80 times better being it is heard with both ears vs mono audio on the walkers @KS6DAY
