It is the Best Headset for Icom Owners
This is designed specifically for Icom radios. The headset is super comfortable even after 12 hours of Contest activity. The ability to split the audio across the Dual Watch or dual receive on the radio is very useful to make poor audio signals readable. The mic cartridge is wider than the preferred DX machine sharpness, but use the radio EQ settings to peak the midrange to make signals punch through the pile ups easier. I strongly suggest you get the Gear Bag or a case to protect your investment and house the trigger or foot switch when not in use or when operating another station as a guest. I have tried a separate headset and mic configuration and I keep finding this set up the best for my use. This was the way to go for field day as I had no room for the desktop mic on the operating table.
