Can these be used under a helmet, and pushing the talk button on the walkie talkie to activate the mic? Or is this only good for VOX

They can be used by pushing the box button too! That's the way we used them in the woods.

Yes they can be used under a helmet. I was using it under a snowboard helmet and it worked fine. My issue was that it was very hard to get the unit to key up using VOX. You can use the PTT button on the radio to talk if you'd like. The headset can do VOX or PTT transmissions.

I'm pretty sure they only work for VOX, (a dissappointment for me when I found out)

You would want to put them on your ear after the helmet is strapped on and then it does stay on your ear pretty well. I think it would work with a push button but the benefit of them is voice activated to leave your hands free. If you didn't want that feature so you can control talk time, I think it would work, but haven't tried.

If you're running something like a Bell 500 helmet, you're going to need a face shield. There's no point in having a mic if you're open face. As for the mounting side of your question, as long as there's a flat surface it can screw tighten onto, it's basically a universal mount. best to watch a mounting video or two on youtube to see if it'll fit your style helmet.

I have a RPHA transformer helmet and the system works great. There may be some variation in ur helmet that may prevent you from using it. The microphone mints on the non moving part of the helmet just in front of and below the speaker on whichever side u prefer. It is a boom sort so can be adjusted for mike placement.

you would need to get a BOOM mic for your helmet. my specific helmet is full faced so my mic attaches inside my helmet

I use these for riding dirt bikes in the woods, and we attach them to our backpacks with no headsets. They are good for making sure everybody in your party doesn't get lost taking a wrong turn when stopped. That's it. You can not really use these to speak between street bike riders with headsets attached. For that purpose I use helmet units that have the speakers in the helmet. Look at Scala or Sena if that is what your after. Yes, they are more expensive, but you will only be frustrated trying to make these work for that purpose.

Hello Andres, This is a great communication system! This is a set of two, pre-paired intercoms. This set includes both hybrid and corded microphones to fit full face and 3/4 helmets. There is an accessory kit available to fit this for a half helmet. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let us know. Chuck Rider's Warehouse

Without Headset is this not possible, the button VOX "free speaking" exist only on the headset. The devise has only a button PTT (push to talk).

This is exactly what i did with these and it works great. it's open but it takes allot of noise to interfere with the mic. (i can eat crunchy foods without it picking it up) A thing to note on mounting the mic tho. make sure you wipe down the mesh with the included alcohol wipe and hold the sticky pad on there firmly for a good 5 minutes to make sure the adhesive bonds to it and then let it harden for ~15-20 min before using it. the mesh can be tricky the first time but i have never had any problems with it. all in all, it's the best mic & headset combo i have owned so far and i have spend at least 1k $ on random "gaming" headsets including assorted steel series, creative, logitech, and astro headsets. hope this helps :)

By the way, the Sena SMH-A0302 that is shown here is great for full-face and modular helmets. If you have an open-face 3/4 helmet, the SMH-3A0301 is a better choice because of it's fixed boom mic. The SMH-A0303 would work best for shorty 1/2 helmets that have open ears because you would use your own earbuds since your ears are covered by the helmet. I've never used an audio set-up on a 1/2 helmet so I don't know how well it would work, but I do recommend the first 2 products.

The headset and microphone have to be attached to amplify your voice. They do not function separately. You can hold the microphone while attached to to the amplifier to your mouth without putting it on your head.

Yes. I've used them with two different helmets. I put them on after I put on my helmet. If you don't play your music too loud, you'll be able to hear things around you as they do not block ambient noise.

I use this headset with Vent, Teamspeak, Mumble, RazorComms and others. Not sure if that answers your question. If not, please be more specific.

Lori,The Headset microphone can be pushed all the way up when your not using it. Best headset I've ever used

I bought two throat mikes from Amazon for walkie-talkies. One of them doesn't fit. Sadly it's this throat mike. I use Midland radios. The plugs are to far apart. My suggestion for finding any kind of external devices for your walkie-talkies is to look for any items that fit Midland or Motorola W.T.s. Good luck in finding what you need. If you can't find it, Amazon will.

All the prior answers are right- but one obvious thing that didn't occur to me originally:I have modular helmet, and the boom mic on the default clamp was difficult to tuck up and under the face shield.After adhering the boom mic between the shell and the cheek pad, I suddenly realized that the mic was now "inside" the helmet- and pulling the face shield down was simple, now. the mic didn't have to wind from the bottom outside of the helmet to the inside.So for a modular, adhering the boom mic with velcro inside is much better than the standard boom!

It is hard to say. I have a full helmet with an adjustable front face. I have an area to connect my mic to. You would not have any place to put the speaker on so that you would be able to hear anything. I guess the best answer is I don't believe it will work for you.

Yes. They work in a mutually exclusive mode and need not be manually set. By default the on boar mic is active. Once you insert the line in jack, the on-board mic is disabled.
