Is anyone using something more rugged or better suited for outdoor use and possible exposure to moisture?

Definitely would like something as rugged as the radio.?

I’d love wired ear buds with built in mic for size too. Like what they used to send with cell phones.?

Trying to find a good SOTA option?

I lost a lot of my hearing about a year ago. Idiopathic they say.?
I went with a pair of Shute SE215 PRO Wired Earbuds.?
They are phenomenal. I highly recommend them.?
For my QTH I use Sennheiser HD 280 Pro wired headphones. Excellent sound.?

I too am hoping for something a more rugged than the W2ENY headset; I had one and it didn't work.? Replacment received and it works -- but just a bit too light duty for what I want.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Radio Sport Headsets will make either a compact headset (as they did for the Elecraft KX3/KX2) or an adapter to work with the TX500.? It is on their radar as I see a place holder for the TX500 on this page:

David,

Do you use the microphone on the Shure SE215 PRO?

Do you use an adaptor to connect?

Are they at least water-resistant?

I spend?a?lot of time in the Pacific Northwest.

Mark,?
The Sure earbuds do not have a mic. I plug them into the factory Mic‘s ear phone Jack. They are professional quality earbuds that form fit to the ear. I too live in the PNW and have a cabin in the Idaho wilderness that I spend a lot of time at. These earbuds are great for any weather. I like to activate remote fire lookouts and back country lakes.?
They allow for almost zero background noise.?
Amazon has them on sale now for a C note. Well worth it.?

Is there interest in my little project?? I'm designing a small adapter to go from the TX-500 MIC/SP port to a earphone set with in-line mic to minimized my SOTA pack weight.? I need motivation to finish the circuit board layout and to have some fabricated.

Hi Tim,

Im potentially interested. To confirm, you’re building something that will accommodate a TRRS connector? That would probably be slick depending on how the PTT works and how large it is.?

Earlier in this thread someone mentioned Shure In-Ear Monitors (IEM). I’m a big fan of those. Shure makes versions with built a built in mic and TRRS plug for cell phone use. I don’t have a set but I’d probably buy one if I could use them with radio too.

Tim, I am also interested in your project! This is something I am very supportive in and would like to assist.?


 

Tim, yes! That would be wonderful.
