    • @GolfFoxtrot22
      @GolfFoxtrot22  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes he does have the best sound quality going but that is specifically for vlogging. The PM100 is an aviation headset that does significantly more, vlogging is a plus for me. When you say pulsing noise, I'm not sur what you mean?

    I have a MA helmet and head set with Blue Tooth. Will my six month old Blue Tooth do the call like that? Is this a new Blue Tooth you are showing us or just how the old one works? Two criticisms I have: 1) I wish there was a led light telling me I was charging the head set and telling me it was fully charged. 2) I wish there was a led light on the out side of the ear cup. I've put my helmet away, on more then one occasion, and forgot to turn it off because the power on led is located on the inside of the ear cup and a bit hard to see. Other than these two issues, I love my helmet. Thanks for another great video.

      Eddie from MA here. I guess you have an older version of Bluetooth. We are limited by the availability of Bluetooth modules. We changed about 9 months ago to a new model of Bluetooth and this has a digital audio processor, so clearer telephone calls. Also increased BT audio. We would design our own BT module from scratch, but the cost would be so high you would not buy the headset, and hence we have to use certified modules from large US companies.
