Headset for Icom?

[Lid]

Looking at getting this headset for my Icom radio. Has anyone used this or have anything bad to say about it? I see some of the Icom community has the Bowman headsets. Are those better or worse? Thanks for any feedback.

I would never buy any electronic gear from any overseas retailer. I've had too much bad luck with cheap mics not working right with my Icom. With an American dealer you can always send it back. With Red Wolf, even if they accept the return, the postage will leave a mark on your wallet.

That being said, I have no experience with that headset.

Here is the place to go, it's the real deal so it isn't free. I bought my Bowman from these guys and they are definately good to go.

The thing that scares me about that site C is the "refurbished". Airsoft Extreme sells the Devgru Bowman's for $150. I may jump on those. A bit pricey, but all the reviews I've read said excellent.

The Devgru is a knock off, the NEV is a real steel surplus Bowman headset that gets all new internals and then wired for your specific radio. I have owned mine from them for awhile now and can tell you the quality it top notch and way above any of the clones I have seen. These people are good at what they do.

Thanks for the info Bigc. I saw that site and was hoping to find a US retailer with no luck.

Yeah, I have been down that road, there isn't a US retailer!
