Great product, good priceSep 19, 2007
By David Peter "sold out to God"
I purchased the Midland AVPH1 Open Face Helment Headset for Midland GMRS with a GXT710VP3 radio. The headset delivers great clear sound quality - easy to understand while dirt biking at a high rate of speed -- although that also has to do with the radio as the speakers can only produce what the radio puts out. It was also quite easy to install in my helmet: a typical motocross helmet with open face for goggles and closed, pointed mouth protection. The adhesive backed velcro disk that mounts the mic base to the helmet holds securely -- something I initially doubted. I routed the flexible mic boom in a spiral fashion under the helmet bottom and located the mic right in front of my mouth position. To hold it in place and make it easy to get the helmet on and off without disturbing the headset I drilled two very small holes in the helmet mouth protection and ran a small wire tie in one hole, around the mic boom just behind the mice pickup and back out through the second hole, into the tie clasp and cut it off flush so that there is only the tiny end visible and nothing to catch on. I didn't pull it tight, just snuggish to prevent movement without binding or stressing the boom. As for wires,I didn't want the wire junction where mic, left speaker, right speaker come together hanging down putting tension on the mic mount or wires so I just taped everything to the back of the helmet leaving the one wire with the plug end that goes to the radio harness hanging down off the back. I just used silver duct tape. Some people might object to this type of thing. But I prefer function over some sort of stylish look -- although my helmet is silver, like the duct tape (and Red Green would be proud!). The speakers mounted easily in the ear recesses of my helmet also with a peal and stick adhesive backing velcro pad and the wires routed easily between helmet padding pieces. I cleaned the mounting surface for the speakers and mic mounting points with alcohol first to get a good stick. The speakers have a soft cover and do not hurt my ears (or even touch them much). Although mounting the same set-up in my wife's closed face helmet of different manufacture which had more ear/upper cheek padding required taking the helmet padding piece out, pealing back the cloth and cutting out some foam so that the speaker did not press into her ear and cheek bone. That was not hard either -- about 30 minutes total for her helmet.
The jury is still out on the push to talk switch. I'm glad it was included. However, for dirt biking I did not think it prudent to mount it to the handlebars as intended since falling off would rip the whole thing apart at the plug or elsewhere. So I wrap the push to talk switch around my left thumb, pointing down and a little in on my left thumb so that I can grip the handle grip well, but extend my middle finger and thumb toward each other while still holing on to push the button. Works well. I hold the wiring in place by routing it from the radio (mounted on my belt on the left side toward the back) inside my shirt and body armor, up the back and down the arm and out the inside elbow hole, and along the inside of my forearm. Takes about 2 full minutes to route. But it is nice to be able to communicate with my riding buddies (or wife on easier rides) whereas we had to stop before. If using the VOX function, which also works very well as long as you put in one word you don't intend anyone to hear first (or say "Ahhh for one half second) to get it going. In that case you can just stuff the wires in your pocket and go after running the helmet wire up your back and plugging it in and taping it (for serious riding). I recommend taping the connections anyway to keep crap out of the din connector.
Overall, it's a great setup and great sound quality.

Midland GMRS HeadsetMay 24, 2007
By Old Rider
My husband and I purchased the headsets to use on our ATV's. It allows us to each ride at our own pace without having to worry about the other one as we can now keep in contact with each other. We have been very happy with how the headsets work. The sound is clear and crisp. The only flaw that I have found is that the microphone is attached to the helmet with a small velcro pad and the microphone comes loose and falls off. It's not the velcro that comes free, it is the sticky backing. I'm going to use a little contact cement and secure it better. Small problem when overall I'm very pleased with the operation of the headsets.

use on motorcyclesJun 28, 2008
By G. Strauch
A friend and I purchased a pair of the Midland headsets for use on a recent 1800 mile motorcycle trip. Performance was excellent with good audio quality. We both ride using ear plugs and volume level was still sufficient even at highway speeds. The open face model worked well with our flip helmets. We used these with a pair of Midland GXT735 radios that provided excellent battery life. We would have preferred to use the VOX feature on the radios but road noise kept setting them off. The push to talk handlebar button that comes with the headset was thus usefull.

FantasticNov 17, 2011
By Very Happy
These work great, even at highway speed...This was a very inexpensive alternative to purchasing an intercom system. I already had the radios, so this was a no brainer. You have to keep the mic close to your mouth, not hanging out very far. Close talking the mic is the way to go. The velcro mounts for the ear pieces has stayed put for almost three months.

Ride BuddyJul 11, 2009
By Donald L. Rawlinson "MADDOG"
Product is great. We tested this product during heat and rain. We even tested it with the visor up at 50 miles an hour. System works exceptionally well. One comment on the microphone, use the enclosed hook and loop and position the mic just above your top lip. To much movement will cause the wires to break and need resoldering.

Enjoy.
