Hey guys, I'm looking for a throat mic. Was wondering what you guys use. Cause i've been looking around and there seems to be alot of crap. Not sure if alot of the claims are true. So i'd appreciate any user feedback on any. Thanks guys!

Re: Throat mic help?
Throat mikes are usable as long as you don't have to whisper. Your vocal cords have to vibrate for the mic to have something to transmit.
Try LASH and Motorola.

I am HAM and I have yet to hear a half way decent throat mic. It is ALWAYS muffled. I would suggest a nice boom mike. They actually work.

Re: Throat mic help?
stay away from the throat mic's...we never found any to work that well.. we have gone with motorola ear piece and bone mic and it works much better.

Re: Throat mic help?
boom mics are the clearest if you can use those..the headset and boom works the best but can be cumbersome

Re: Throat mic help?
Ive used the Pryme Throat mics. They are about as good as they get, but still arent great. Go with a boom if you can. Much clearer sound and you can also whisper if you need to, were throat mics need sound/vibrations to work properly. You just need to take care of them as not bend/bash them around to much when your not wearing it. Also look after the connection to the radio itself. Alot of guys when they run the wires through their vests put tight bends and kinks in them. 90% of the time this is were your comms set will fail first.
Thry these guys. Ive brought from them before. You order what you want and they will build it to your specs.

Re: Throat mic help?
We have had issues with bone mic's. Can't hear what the guys are saying half the time and they are a pain to wear. I turned mine back in because it stopped working and I really didn't want another.
I have just gotten to the point that I run my regular lapel mic clipped to my entry vest, then run a FOX earpiece under my Peltors. I will be replacing that with a Peltor cable soon so I can just plug the ears into the mic.

Re: Throat mic help?
Without knowing your application/mission it's hard making a useful recommendation. Either way, I'd stay away from throat and bone mic's.
ComTac II's with a boom mic for more overt work.
Motorola 2 or 3 wire lapel mic for plain clothes work.

Re: Throat mic help?
well my application is culling feral pests etc. Just wanted something good to use with VOC motorola radio cause i work with a few retards. lol
Looks like a clip on mic or boom is the best way to go. Thanks for the help guys!
