OT: Wireless stereo headset recommendations

[Elecraft mailing list]

I am thinking about adding a wireless stereo headset to my KX3 so that I can operate remotely from other parts of my house. I don't want a Bluetooth headset as the range is fairly short. There are other wireless headsets that use UHF I believe that have a much better range.

It would be nice to have a microphone so that I can transmit (using VOX).

I can change frequency etc already buy using my iPad and VNC looking at my SDR on my PC (HDSDR on a SDRPlay on my IF) which can via Omnirig change the frequency of the KX3. All I lack is the audio, and wireless stereo headset would seem to solve that.

I was speaking to a ham in Wales today who used a Sony wireless headphone to at least listen to his radio from outside the shack (so he can hear if a sporadic E opening is happening). That put the idea into my head.

I have looked at the Sony website, but am more confused than ever. Many headsets refer to PlayStations which I confess to knowing nothing at all about, but appear to connect via USB to the wireless transceiver. I don't want that, I want a couple of jack plugs Mic and headset into the transceiver.

Any recommendations?

Here are a few RF-based pro audio products designed for use by musicians
for live performance monitoring.

Full Compass is a well-respected audio vendor, and Galaxy is a small but
respected US-based pro audio mfr. Shure, Audio-Technica, AKG, and
Sennheiser are all good, big pro audio companies.

Don't forget to look at the Jabra GN9350.  Has a great reputation and I use it on my K3 300'+ range.

Thanks both.

I am looking for something that does stereo headphones as well as microphone but not Bluetooth, probably 868 MHz or something like that. I can find plenty that use USB or optical or use Bluetooth, but have not found exactly what I  need yet.

Closest is a mono wireless speaker mic for CB which even has PTT. Not sure about though ...

I will check out the Jabra now.

David,
Can recommend that you look at the PigRemote from Pignology, on their
website and several videos on youtube about details

Thanks,

I don't have Ethernet in my shack though. Just Wifi.

Surely someone must make a bidirectional wireless headset at under $80?

There are a number of headsets on the market that will do the job.  What
to look for is an inter office device that is used for remote telephone
service.  Jabra has an extensive line up as does Panasonic.  I have been
using Jarba for years and had very good luck.  The only problem is you
won't find any of these that have true stereo.  You can get dual ear
pieces but they will be monaural not stereo.  I have copied a link to
the Jarba Web Site. They claim stereo but that isn't correct.  They are
all monaural. You won't get stereo receive along with a mic. with
Bluetooth either.  For that setup you will probably have to look for a
Computer Gaming headset.  The list prices are something that will get
your attention.  The best I have been able to do is to cruse eBay until
something reasonable shows up.  I have been using a GN9460 for about
three years.  It's range is in excess of 600 feet.  Very easy to
interface to the rig.
