The Pryme Gladiator is a great throat mic for airsoft. $100 isn't too bad for it. The only beef i have with throat mics is that they can't pick up mouth generated sounds well (like S or V). This is what i use now in my old General Electric FRS radio (still saving for a GMRS) http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...%5Fid=19%2D315
That setup is cheap and effective. Hasn't failed me yet. The only problem is the earpiece. It's kinda uncomfortable after a few hours if it doesn't fit your ear just right. However, if you really want a throat mic, Pryme Gladiator, some Iasus models, and Firefox (cheap as it is, it works) work fine for airsoft. Oh yeah, this recently came out in the US. http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...roducts_id=980
I think it's an imitation of what ILLusion reccommended, but from what i've heard, it works great. I hope this helps.

Actually my throat mic is by far the clearest of the high end ones I have tried or used. I have never had a problem transmitting sounds such as "S and V".
In the end you get what you pay for.
I don't use a cheap radio and won't use a cheap headset for it.
Not worth it. I prefer quality equipment over using gear that "may" fail, as it is not really built well. |
Is that so?
Well, the people that told me that must have been dealing with low end throat mics. Anyway, being 14, i lack the necessary funds to afford a high end radio AND comm setup. But i've had my radioshack headset for about 6 months and it works perfectly. Whatever works for you is the best.
Again, for airsoft, the $300+ comm setups are overkill. Why pay that much when you can get something for 1/3 of the price that works more than well enough for airsoft and won't break down? Not that i don't appreciate quality equipment. You'll never see me running with cheapo stuff that doesn't hold up. I only wish i could afford to pay $300+ for a good comm setup.
As i said before, just get whatever works for you.
