apache Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Nick are those good for assessing the direction from which noise is coming? I had some peltor sportacs last year but I got drunk and gave them away - a long story. Anyhows, I now need some more and want something cheap and that will pick up noise from the direction which my face is pointing. Anyideas? Also the sub £50 price tag would be magic, especially if I get drunk and give them away again. Cheers all. Wear them backwards so the microphone is pointing forwards!

arjimlad Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I was concerned about directional sound, but the Deben sub £50 ones are fine with that. The sound quality is better than the LV Electronic ones I also have. In fact they amplify sound, so to a degree, you can hear more than without them. I've only had Peltors in mono (ages old) and the sound quality was fine, but obviously not directional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 http://www.ukshootwarehouse.com/shop/SHOOT...Protection.html I got the Deben ones above from UK Shoot Warehouse. They're rather good. The sound quality is very good, I get good directional sound and the stock does not knock. They feel quite robust but are not too heavy. I was told they have the same electronics as the more expensive Debens. So far so good... I have these too, excellent sound and build quality. Great value at 50 notes.

Mungler Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I will give UK Shootwarehouse a bell tomorrow - for £50 can't go wrong and they are a nice bunch to spend money with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Mungler, The Impacts are excellent, proper directional dual mics (and i have tried the Deben ones, which i really don't think are half as good). If you're in the neighbourhood, pop round and have a try of them mate. Edited October 21, 2009 by nickbeardo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
