Motorola 56320 Earpiece with Boom Microphone Reviews

• Motorola Headset 56320, GOOD, A+!

  I use a Motorola Talkabout T6400 in whats called an "Airsoft Game", much like paintball, but with a military simulation twist. Anyway, communication is a very important thing, thus we all use two-way radios. Holding the radio and carrying it in my hand just was not an option, as I use an airsoft gun that takes up two hands. I bought the T6400 with a clip and all, but needed a headset. I saw many products outthere, some ranging from $20-100. I was tight on money, so I decided to go with this particular item. For $10, or whatever it is, you can't really beat it.
  The capabilities are as follows (especially if you are looking for the VOX feature)

  PTT and VOX compatible with Talkabout® 270, 280, T289, T5100, T5200, T5300, T5320, T5400, T5410, T5420, T5600, T5620, T5700, T5710, T5720, T5800, T5820, T5950, T6200, T6210, T6220, T6250, T6300, T6310, T6320, T6400, T7200 Series, fr50 and fr60 radios.

  PTT-only compatible with T5100, T5200, fr50 and fr60 radios are not VOX/handsfree capable, therefore, headset is manual PTT only.

  On to the field testing and use..
  After doing some prelimenary tests to adjust my volume and whatnot, I got out in a game. My teammates said they could hear me loud and clear, almost too loud they said, haha. I could hear them perfectly as well. However, the ear piece that hooks onto your earlobe would occasionally fall off, now I have a small ear which was probably the problem.
  The VOX feature that I can use on my two-way works pretty well using this headset. It will pick up your voice almost everytime within a tenth of a second, and agian, transmit everything 'loud and clear'. Be careful when whispering those things other people aren't supposed to hear ;) it will pick up EVERYTHING. Whoopsies....

  I would highly recommened this item for any type of "irregular" use. As far as using it in the car, or however else, I do not think it would be my first choice because of the bulkiness, etc.
  The clarity is an A+, the price is an A+, the receiving earpiece gets an A, and the ear piece itself, well a "B" for falling off my ear.

  Good Luck!

  I paintball a lot and have spent well over $100 in different mic's. This one is the only one that my team uses now. It stays on, is very clear and works well for everyone on our team, young, old, big or little ears. We also use it for cycling.
  
  

• Great product but....

  My buddy and I use the Motorola 56320 earpiece & boom microphone several times over the past year. We use them in conjunction with Motorola VOX capable walkie talkies. They are fairly comfortable and work as advertised.
  
  We do have one small complaint. You wouldn't think so but I could argue that the cheap 10 cent microphone windscreen is this product's most important component.
  
  I found this out the hardway. The windscreen is not secured to the microphone by any adhesive. Over time the fit gets loose, and it keeps falling off. When this happens it is only a matter of time before you lose it. We use ours to comunicate while bike riding. Without a windscreen, the mike constantly keeps openning and closing, regardless of sensitivity settings.
  
  Trying to buy replacement windscreens is near impossible. We searched high and low, and could not find anything afordable. We settled on a piece of a replacement foam cushion. It worked, however it makes us look like dorks! We finally caved and bought new headsets.
  
  So do yourself a favor, before you use the Motorola 56320, take a minute and secure the windscreen to the mike with electrical tape or adhesive. If you don't you'll be kicking yourself after you lose it and recall this prediction!
  
  
  

• Very happy with this product

  My wife and I purchased this product to use when bicycling with Motorola T5950s. This was our first experience with mic/earphone combinations, and we've been very pleased with it. The sound is very clear and easy to understand and we've had no trouble with the device staying on our ears--even though my ears are much larger than my wife's! We've also found them to be quite comfortable--even after two hours we haven't noticed any discomfort. The only negative we've noticed is that there is a 1/2 second or so delay before the VOX (voice activated transmission) kicks in, so we have to start each transmission with an "Aaaa..." before we speak to activate it. That's a function of the radio's VOX, though, and not a problem with the mic/earphone!! Based on our experience, we'd highly recommend the Motorola 56320.
  
  

• not compatible with what you may think

  
  By A1XV9KWSG8YTT3 on 2004-03-11
  This product seems like a great idea but only if it works with the radio that you have. When I recieved this product I plugged it into my t5400 and expected to be able to speak and listen without any buttons. Well I couldn't do this because the t5400 is not compatible even though this site and the packaging say that it is. I am returning the product to amazon expecting a full refund including shipping. I am very disappointed with the situation I have encountered and wait on the outcome which will depend on myself shopping on amazon again.
  
  
• Will not stay on my ear
  By A3S5EXYZDEBF3K on 2005-05-09
  I cannot get this to stay on my ear. When I do get it on, it is not close enough to my ear, so it's hard to hear. I now use the earbud model with a PTT/mic on the cord -- Motorola 53727.
  
  
• Ear Piece just ok
  By A4NP0IRH9O0DF on 2006-03-19
  I work security and use the motorola two way radios a lot. The ear piece headset works well but only if you have big ears. I have small ears and the earpiece would slip off a lot. My co-worker likes it because it's lightweight and fits snug. He has larger ears than I do. I recommend this product if you have large enough ears for the earpiece to hang on to.
  
  
• once you get the hang of it.....
  By A25QIG8BAJJJAF on 2006-01-22
  VOX is great if you can use it with these headsets. me and my freind tried this headset out (we had two):
  
  PROS:
  ~very clear reception
  ~easy to talk
  ~VOX activates pretty quickly
  
  Cons:
  ~ there is about a 2 second delay before VOX turns off and finishes sending your message
  
  
  
  this headset really got a 4.5
  
  
• Very funtional boom mic
  By A2YHSIRXEM4FAX on 2006-03-17
  I purchased these mic's for my wedding videography company to use during all day film shoots. They stand up to the constant use and reuse. I highly recommend if you're in a high paced industry. They hold up and maintain performance as advertised.
  
  
• They work
  By ACSLENFNGHMJF on 2007-01-06
  These mics work just fine in quiet places. I wanted these for my husband and I to communicate when we're riding our ATV's. Unfortunately the ATV's were too loud, and the mics wanted to stay on constantly. But the point is they work. I would recommend them.

• light wieght good sound
  By A32QOQZU885JCD on 2007-05-19
  The 56320 earpiece fits wonderfully and the sound is great with very little noise from the boom mic. When useing the earpiece and the T5420 you have to be careful what you say, the VOX operation will pick up your voice all the way down to a whisper, (don't curse or cus at friends or others on the same channel-they will hear it. I really like this product.
  
  
• Boom mic
  By A2W8E3XRVA3KS1 on 2006-03-01
  Never got it. It arrived at the postoffice and was returned because the postoffice had a temporary employee on at the time and wouldn't deliver to the address. And since you wouldn't redeliver or place somewhere for me to contact you about this problem I had no way to get it resent before you put the money back into my account. Won't happen again.
  
  Thanks,
  Artie.
