 A *must-have* for skiing or boarding! March 7, 2000

I ski (or board) all day with this earbud and a 280SLK on a NiMH battery. I have used TalkAbouts while skiing for a few years - but just got the 280 and the earbud, and it makes a WORLD of difference! The 280's lock feature lets me pack it down under layers. The earbud and wires stay well under layers (hat, shirt, etc) as well. Only the mic sticks out from the side, which I can click to talk at any time. It has been over a foot under the snow with my head when I blow a 360 - and still works perfectly. This earbud is a *must* for skiiers (or boarders! I do both.)
 Nice product, but... January 9, 2002

The product itself is very nice and easy to use. I use it for skiing and find it very convinient except VOX. The earbud is not voice activated even though my two way radios support VOX, so every time you want to talk, you have to push the button on the microphone what is really unconvinient.
 Very Useful April 1, 2000

I tried the ear bud while skiing recently and it work excellently, it is far more comfortable than i expected having read other reviews. The PTT mic is easy to use when clipped to the top of the collar of ski jackets although if it becomes unclipped it is difficult to clip back on while wearing ski gloves. A very good purchase.
Good quality, but could be better... February 2, 2001

Excellent Motorola quality and when paired with the TA280's excellent volume levels (plus control), it allows you to use it even in crowded, noisy environments. The ease of use and its inconspicuousness make it an invaluable addition to the Talk Abouts, but there is room for improvement. My biggest complaint is that the TA280/289 don't allow for the alert tone (call tones / menu tones / etc.) volumes to be regulated. This makes for some very uncomfortably loud noise spikes with that earbud only an inch or so from your eardrum. The TA280/289 DO allow the alert tones to be disabled, but that makes it a little more difficult to operate (especially when you have them tucked away under your outer clothing). My only other complaint was in the design of the PTT/MIC housing. I would've preferred something a little easier to use with gloves on (the PTT button is 1/2" from the MIC and pressing it with gloves on covers the MIC....). In closing, the alert tone volume issue is a TA280/289 one, not this units and I'd buy this again if I were to lose this one, but I sure wish they'd improve on it.
Recommended accessory for FRS radios June 12, 2001

I have only one complaint about this earbud/mic unit - the cord is too short. Otherwise, the sound quality is good and the built-in mic with PTT works fine. A 2.5mm extension cord from radio shack (meant for phone headsets, #43-2003) alleviates the cord problem, however. The earbud cushion is comfortable. To be discreet, this is an excellent accessory for your Motorola FRS radio.
