Midland TH4 Tactical Series Throat Mic with Acoustic Ear Tube Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall, I really like this product. The earpiece is what I expected and is very comfortable. It stays in place very well generally, but tends to slip if it gets damp (such as when sweating). The PTT is very convenient and easy to use even with gloves or constricted finger mobility (including through most shirts and jackets), but if you don't hit the center of the button it will often fail to key. The PTT unit itself is a bit heavier than I expected, but the full-rotation belt clip stays comfortably on a 1-inch belt (or sideways on a belt keeper for a security/police duty belt, as I use it). The neck band for the mic itself is a bit tight and isn't very adjustable. I have a 17-1/2 inch neck, and I have to wear it skewed to one side to ensure at least one of the pickups is close enough to my larynx for clear transmission. The mic neck band fits me snugly, and it took a while to get used to it. The transmission quality is somewhat muted, but it's less noticeable if the user articulates carefully. The mic seems to have a little trouble transmitting from a loud environment (such as a dance club), but a careful listener in a quiet environment can make out what you're saying; quiet-to-quiet transmission is excellent. The entire device is a bit bulky and looks awkward on an exposed neck (i.e. without a coat or turtleneck), but that's a symptom of its rugged, durable design. It can easily be concealed under a fully-zipped coat (I have one similar to this: White Sierra Men's El Dorado Jacket). The wires are plenty long with resilient coiling, so you can rig yourself up however you need to for the best convenience and utility (unlike the Midland AVPH3 Transparent Security Headsets with PTT/VOX (Pair), which have limited wire length).
Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone who is considering getting the Midland AVPH3 Transparent Security Headsets with PTT/VOX (Pair) for their Midland GXT1000VP4 36-Mile 50-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) (Black/Silver), unless a more-professional and less-tactical look is required (such as some security posts). Its best feature for me is the ability to key up the mic and communicate without making obvious motions for PTT and holding the mic in an appropriate position. Recommended buy!
