Motorola 1518 Surveillance Headset with PTT Mic, Black, White

These work as advertised - and YES - they do work with the Garmin 700 series GPS/Radio....I have the Garmin 755t, and works perfectly. Some think it doesn't because they plug it in and can't get the PTT button to work...........it must be programmed. When you plug it in for the first time, simply press and hold the PTT button on the headset, and the display will show "Headset Detected - Does your headset have a PTT button?".....select "Yes", and there you go - works like a champ! This style headset is FAR MORE comfortable in the ear for hunting - and not cumbersome to wear under hats or gators......and the price is right getting the pair!!!

have only used a few times but it's comfortable and functions well.

The headset arrived quickly and fits good. The sound quality isn't as good as I was hoping for, but it does work. It sounds as if you used a tube against a speaker...sounds hollow. I use it for Security missions, so the sound quality is very important to me. I guess I get what I paid for, will continue to use the headset until I am able to find a better quality one.

Works as advertised, only two things you have to watch out for...... 1) When keying the microphone and you are NOT on FRS Channels 8-14, the Motorola rig we have will use HIGH power instead of LOW power to transmit. That is illegal IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GMRS LICENSE. Now it's legal for FRS only users to use channels 1-7 but on the Motorola we have you would have to use the LOW POWER PTT button on the side of the walkie-talkie. Just be aware, get a license and it won't matter. +$60 for five years......I think.... 2) When using the PTT on this surveillance headset, don't cover the holes with your fingers, it muffles your voice..... Okay, I'm done.... Have a good day!

I really wanted to like this. Particularly how comfy it is. The shound however is too low. The sound pipe loses too much volume.

Cheap build, terrible sound quality. I used this for a wedding event, paired with Motorola MT352r radios, to communicate with my assistant photographer and we were pretty much guessing what the other person was saying the whole time. I would speak into the mic, and my assistant would let me know that he can't understand what I'm saying. Sometimes I couldn't understand what he was saying when he said he couldn't understand what I'm saying. The only thing that this accomplished was that I was able to discreetly let him know that I wanted something, without disturbing the people around us. We then had to hunt each other down to talk in person. Totally useless in my opinion. The cable is surprisingly short, though just long enough to wear the radio on my belt. If I were a 6ft+ tall guy with a large build, I think this would be impossible to wear. Also the cable is very thin, and feels like it wouldn't last through very many events. If I could describe the sound quality, it sounds like a person jammed his ear into my ear canal and is speaking through a pillow. This causes you to crank up the volume, which only results in a louder muffled voice with added distortion. There is no "air-iness" or "space" to the sound. It is possibly a combination of a cheap quality microphone paired with a cheap quality speaker. I really wanted to like it, and was willing to settle with poor quality sound as long as it was usable. This unit, however, is absolutely unusable. I have since purchased a similar headset of a different brand, of much higher quality, and it is a joy to use.

Why is the headset market for walkie talkies so miserable? I can pay $3 for something that feels like it came out of a happy meal or I can pay $90 for a single para-military headset that works semi-great. Nothing in between. Yes this is supposed to be a review not an editorial but after trying many products and them all being terrible, these headsets were adequate. They do their job, the microphone works. They aren't the sturdiest but they work in a concert environment and for that I'd rate them 7 out of 5 if I could.

These are great. For what is needed, required and expected the sound quality is perfect. I was not expecting a quadriphonic sound system. Voices are clear and easily understood and the volume is perfect. They fit very well in and over the ear. After a short while you dont even notice them being on. I read in some reviews that the cord is to short from the mic to the radio. I'm 6'1'' and the cord reached comfortably to the radio at my belt. My wife was in complete agreement, and that's amazing.

la comodidad y resistencia buen sonido es muy recomendable 👌

Great product, easy to use and works great

Audífonos con buen audio no distorsiona la voz, y el material se ve de calidad. Esperamos que responda bien con el tiempo.

They work well, but the ear buds need to be angled more inwards toward the ear canal. Also the PTT button should be mounted closer to the ear piece, as there is a lot of surplus wire at the ear piece. It would then allow for a longer cord to plug in the 2.5mm jack in the 2-way radio. To sum up, the 1518's are a fairly good solution for the price.

Perfect fit for radios I purchased previously. Very clear and will work for quieter communication with my hunting partner.
