Digital camera reviews of Midland AVPH3 Transparent Security Headsets with PTT/VOX (Pair)
Digital camera Review: Great earpiece, short on longevity
Summary: 3 Stars
I work at an after school child care facility. Often, we might need someone's attention across the room, but it's too loud for them to hear, and innapropriate to yell. These fit the bill perfectly! We finagled around with the earpieces a little (the look like they would get painful after a while) and shelled out a little more money for surefire earpro comm ear. I think the number is ear pro ep-1 or ep2.
It slides right on where the original earpiece comes off. It allows you to have a normal conversation during the time that there are no transmissions, then allows you to hear what is being said on the radio if a member of your team needs something. Perfect!
THE ONLY REASON THESE DID NOT EARN A 5 STAR:
While these earpieces fit the bill, we used them in the summer up until about a month ago when volume quality went way down, and some stopped working altogether. An earpiece should last more than 5 months.
We have since bought more as replacements, since there doesn't seem to be any alternatives out there; just know that for casual occasional use, these work. For prolonged daily use, factor in a replacement fee. The warranty on these things runs at something like 90 days.
Digital camera Review: Great for Snowboarding
Summary: 5 Stars
I use these with my Midland Walkie Talkies when me and my brother go snowboarding and it makes it very convenient. No problems, they hold up pretty well even when beaten with snow.Digital camera Review: Great for hunting, but no good for security work in noisy environment
Summary: 4 Stars
Good product for hunting and quiet environments, not enough adjustment in volume with midland radios for noisy security work, such as pub or concert.Digital camera Review: Great product, Great price
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice clean, easy to open packaging by Midland. Both units functioned out of the box. Sound quality is superb and plenty of volume (I wouldn't recommend whispering in heavy traffic though). The Mic/PTT button functions perfectly, though the button isn't large enough to function reliably when wearing heavy gloves. VOX function works perfectly. The PTT/Mic assembly has a fairly rugged looking metal alligator clip on the back, and the earbud wire clip is plastic but appears hefty enough. The earpiece does sit deep in the ear and may be uncomfortable for some users. The earpiece does impair hearing slightly while inserted but not much. Overall, this is a quality and rugged looking product. I just recieved these today, 23-MAR-2011, as I use them more I will update this review.Digital camera Review: Half way to a great product
Summary: 3 Stars
Comfy to wear. The mic is weakest part of the is setup, frustratingly so. It's my first ear and mic set up like this so I can't offer a comparison. It blows away the boom set up included with radios, but I would look around for something with great reviews, I had limited time and it did the job.
