Intercoms, What Are Y'all Using?
And how much did they cost and who has the best deal? Prefer four unit wireless set. Mic has to work in a direct wind blast. This one looks nice but is almost $1,600:

Have tried two systems, none of them work very well in open boat if your face is in the wind.
|
Then maybe plain ear muffs like at the shooting range would be better?

Someone was offering an Intercom with a throat mic but I can't remember who it was. Always thought that might be a good answer to the wind noise.

Rugged Radios with their digital noise cancelling chip. Clear as day at 100 MPH+! They sample the ambient noise and cancel it out so all you get in clear voice and or music thru the headsets.

Anybody else have an opinion on headsets? I need some, my boat already has a Radio Labs intercom system, I just need good headsets.

Wow, they are very expensive! Don't know if I can justify that right now ...

I don't know how much wind you get or if the Sampson units would work for you although I suspect they would but I wish I had got an Intercom set years ago. My wife always wanted them but I resisted due to the price. After using them for 1/2 1 season I can't imagine not having an intercom. Besides the social aspect I feel there is a safety factor. Nothing like communication in snotty conditions, a congested area filled with lake lice or a poker run with many hot boats running fast.
I already have high frequency hearing loss from playing with loud weapons in Vietnam Nam I don't need more loss and an Intercom is much better then the ear plugs I used to wear. We don't hardly blink when spending money on engine upgrades but hesitate on something that protects our hearing and provides safety by offering better communication. Padraig |
