Received mine today, ordered from tacticalgeardepot.com used them a few times and been very happy with the service especially compared to ebb, anyway onto the 'mini review'.
These are simply first impressions from about 30mins messing around with them, note I have not ever seen real comtacs and only used sordins once.
They look good enough, build quality is fair and seems a little better than the bowman and swimmer headsets the shops seem to be stocking. There are no bad seam lines and they arent too shiny. Nothing wobbles, things are smooth and the buttons have a nice click response when depressed though it may be hard to feel with any gloves on. The PTT, wire and connecters work fine no worries there. AA batteries went in a treat, battery seal (the red things) wont come off in a firefight, unless someone attacks your face with a couple of pliers but lets hope it doesnt come to that.
In went the batteries and I can confirm the headset if fully functional, ambient noise is increased in low volume and decreased at high volume. Some 'white noise' is heard when the volume is turned up on the headset but is easily bearable. Dont ask me how they compare to the real comtacs but I would guess by saying that you can definately tell they work, but not at the same standard as the sordins I used once.
PTT button clicks nicely and sound output to other radios is a nice quality, input quality from other radios into the headset is nice and clear too.
All in all well worth the $75 i paid. Completes the look and even better they work a treat, comms for all!
Heres some dodgy pics for those interested.
