Communication headsets

What is a micro-headset or communication headset?

A micro-headset is a radio communication accessory composed of a transmitter: the microphone, and a receiver: the earpiece. It is a hands-free communication equipment since it is fixed directly in the ears. There are two main types of micro-headset: the in-ear micro-headset, which is inserted directly into the ear canal, and the boom micro-headset, which places the microphone in front of the user's mouth. Both systems are used in industry (nuclear, construction, military, etc.), audiovisual and sports (refereeing, coaching, etc.).

The VOKKERO micro-earphones are included in most of the radio communication kits offered.

What are the advantages of the VOKKERO micro-earphones and communication headsets?

VOKKERO professional headsets are designed to meet the needs of professionals in industry, audiovisual and sports.

The professional headsets for industry are designed above all to allow them to work and communicate efficiently and serenely while being hands-free. They can be equipped with custom molded earplugs (Molded Hearing Protection, or MHP) that protect the hearing of operators in sound environments. This is the case of our SENSORCOM SEN 430 boom headset.

Boom headsets for professional referees or sports coaches, such as our PHONAK PHO 521, come with a generic earpiece kit that includes left and right earpieces, as well as 3 silicone inserts. This accessory is ideal for communicating outdoors thanks to its wind protection and its light weight offers optimal comfort for several hours, no pressure around the head. In certain configurations, we recommend the use of Push-to-Talk PHONAK systems, for example in video arbitration.

The in-ear microphones are very useful in the military, civil security, or industrial sectors when wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): suit, diving suit, mask... Since they are equipped with an extremely sensitive microphone, located in one ear, while the speaker is in the other. The front of the mouth is therefore completely free.

VOKKERO offers full duplex radio communication systems for all these models.

Who uses professional headsets today?

Many professions require a hands-free communication system that is easy to set up, lightweight and practical.

Industrial operators in ATEX or nuclear zones, military security personnel and the medical profession often use in-ear microphones. These earpieces take up very little space and are therefore perfectly compatible with the wearing of PPE, helmets and suits.

Sound and light technicians and audiovisual technical staff, on stage or in the studio, as well as sports staff: coaches, referees, line judges, will prefer the boom microphone. This hands-free communication system remains comfortable even with prolonged use, and allows the transmission and reception of clear and intelligible information without cutting oneself off from one's direct environment.
