Motorola 1518 Surveillance Headset with PTT Mic, Black, White

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!

This item is awesome! I absolutely love it. You can listen to your radio traffic without anyone hearing it too. It's better strategically. It's great quality, has a long-ish cord for more comfort. I would highly recommend this item if you need to keep the chatter down. It's a great item for the price.

It's hard to hear if there is external sound. And causes discomfort after a while...

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!!!

The biggest complaint is have is the length. The cord from the handset to the PTT button is to short & the cord from the PTT button to the ear piece is to long. I've routed this thing every which way imaginable & it just barely fits. Sound quality is meh, but the noise dampening feature (an extra silicone flange on the earbud) actually does a really good job. Be careful pulling it out of your ear. It seals so well, if you pull it out fast, it will hurt your eardrum.

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.

GREAT PRODUCT, Good price

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.

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.

Super uncomfortable for long periods of time, I find my self changing ear it’s in every 45 min or so when I’m using them but otherwise great, works well in loud rooms, great sound quality.

When used with walk-in talkie, beware that the ping on end of transmission tickles the eardrums.would be funny once, but on a long usage is hurtful, and compels the user to reduce audio volume. Other than that, use some tape to have them secured on earlobe if you’re flying a Paraglider, to make sure you won’t get busy taking the helmet off mid flight then the gloves, just to reseat the phones.
