1 Pin Air Covert Acoustic Tube Earpiece Headset with PTT VOX Mic for Yaesu FT-50R VX-132 VX-410 VX-420 FT-60R VX-160

Before retiring from law enforcement, I used earpiece/mics with my police radio during protection missions with visiting dignitaries. Now I need this type of product again because I'm helping with security at church. However, I've not been willing to pay $110 for the Motorola set my agency supplied to me in the past.After wasting my money on similar-looking products sold on Amazon that don't last, I was about to give up when I stumbled across this product. Close inspection of the photo is what motivated me to give it a try.Unlike the other inexpensive models I'd previously purchased from other vendors, this one looks to be durable, has thicker wires, and overall a more robust construction. Frankly, the product description doesn't begin to do it justice.This is a first-rate product that works well, fits well, is comfortable to wear and use, and has the all-important 90-degree plug which protects the radio connection from damage -- and, I expect to last like the outrageously expensive Motorola equivalent. I highly recommend this product.Note: Be sure to purchase the earpiece/mic model designed for the 2-way radio you will be using.

This item works very well with my Yeasu FT-60R. I would recommend it.

I was selected to help as a volunteer for the Boston Athletic Association's Boston Marathon as a medical communications worker in 2019. Been to a Boston Marathon? You would find It very noisy, a fact that one can deal with only by incorporating a headset with your hand-held 2 meter transceiver. As an amateur radio operator staffing Medical Five, the headset was invaluable. I'm sure there are many other environments that call for headset, but high noise surroundings make this headset a must-own piece of equipment.

looks really good quality, receives ok on my FT-70. I figured Yaesu stuff would be standard, so it says it works with FT-60 and I thought it would be ok with my FT-70. That may not be the case. The screen says ERROR when I try to transmit. Still checking it out, only lost $16 if they are not compatible....My Elmer may get an early birthday gift.

The sound quality and mic quality are great. Unfortunately, the Push To Talk feature on the device I received is constantly broadcasting, even when I am not pushing to talk. Essentially, the device constantly broadcasts in either VOX mode, or PTT mode. I'm now researching for a replacement, but I thought I should share this experience so others are aware before they buy.

Pros: Works, acceptable quality considering the value. 2nd set of earbuds.Cons: VOX switch feels flimsy, I wish I could lock it out.Build feels okay, I don't think it'll last more than a few years (I use it in paragliding), but decent for the price.

Got this to replace my OEM earpiece that I inadvertently stepped on. It works great with my FT-60R. No problems with anything.
