Rugged Radios Pair of NASCAR Linkable Behind The Head Headsets for Race Fan Racing Radios Electronics Communications Connects to Scanners Race Receiver Nitro Bee

Excellent for open car. Driver and passenger can hold a conversation. Does rub on the ears. Comfortable for 1 hour. Than need a break. Does well in cancelling outside noise but can hear emergency vehicles

These are great! I’ve used them for Watkins Glen and Bristol races. The talk through and audio are clear. Highly recommend.

I am endeavoring to write the review I wish I would have found before buying this product. If you do your research and are planning to use this at NASCAR races then you are trying to decide between the Racing Electronics Gemini 5 and the Rugged Radios H80. Last year we used the RE-58 Platinum headphones during two races with an RE3000 scanner. We really enjoyed them, but wanted a way to communicate during the race. As I was doing research the H80 has a 24 dB NRR rating. I reaching out to RE and they confirmed the Gemini 5 does not have a NRR due to the battery compartment being inside the headset. My only real complaint about the H80 is the battery being mounted on the outside doesn’t seem like a great design, but it’s a trade off I am more than happy to make for the increased NRR. This ended up being the deciding factor for me as the RE-58 have a NRR of 25 dB and the sound of our scanner would get drowned out during restarts and we did not want to exacerbate that problem. We took our new H80 headsets to the May 2022 race at Kansas Speedway and we were beyond pleased. We felt the H80 blocked sound better than the RE-58 despite the rating difference. I was shocked to find that I could actually turn our RE3000 scanner up too loud which was a problem I never had with the RE-58. The intercom is wonderful, but you can’t talk when a group of cars is directly in front of you. However, I don’t believe that is a problem that can be solved regardless of the headset. The H80 microphone feels very durable which was a concern for me. I have not personally tried the Gemini 5, but the microphone boom does look more durable than the H80. The only issue we encountered is I accidentally flipped the ISO switch on my headset and it took us several minutes to figure out why my wife could not hear the scanner. The H80 comes in at a lower price point than the Gemini 5 and I would recommend it to anyone who asks. I feel confident these will be our trusty race companion for years to come. We have two more NASCAR races this year as well as the Knoxville Nationals so I will update this review if our feelings change or we encounter any issues.

After years of using separate headphones at Indy, these connected headphones are just what we needed. Now instead of having to lift one side of the headphones to hear my wife speak, she can just push the button and I can hear her speak. While I received these after the Indy 500, I cannot wait to give these a try at the Milwaukee Mile over Labor Day Weekend.These seem to be sturdy and comfortable and did come with the cables needed to not only connect the headphones together but to also connect separate scanners to each.

I recently had the opportunity to use the Rugged NASCAR Linkable Behind-The-Head Headset at a racing event, and I must say, it significantly enhanced my experience as a race fan. This headset, designed specifically for the racing environment, offered several notable features that merit a solid 4-star rating.The behind-the-head design is one of the headset's best aspects. It provided a comfortable fit throughout the day, avoiding the discomfort often associated with over-the-head styles, especially during long race days. This design also ensured the headset stayed securely in place, even amidst the excitement and movement common at racing events.Sound quality and noise cancellation capabilities were impressive. The headset did an excellent job of filtering out the overwhelming noise of the racetrack, allowing me to clearly hear race communications and scanner feeds. This clarity brought me closer to the action, making the race more immersive and enjoyable.The linkable feature of this headset is a standout, allowing me to connect with friends and family also wearing compatible headsets. This enhanced our group's experience, making it easier to communicate over the roar of the engines and share in the excitement of the race together.Connectivity with scanners was seamless, a crucial feature for any racing enthusiast. The headset connected easily to my scanner, providing access to driver and team communications, which added depth to my understanding and enjoyment of the race.However, I've given this product a 4-star rating instead of a full 5 stars due to a couple of areas that could be improved. Firstly, while the overall build quality is solid, some components felt less durable than expected, raising slight concerns about longevity with frequent use. Additionally, the headset's aesthetic and design, while functional, could benefit from a more modern and sleek update to match today's consumer electronics standards.In conclusion, the Rugged NASCAR Linkable Behind-The-Head Headset is a strong contender for any race fan looking to elevate their race day experience. Its comfort, sound quality, and linkable feature set it apart, making it a valuable tool for immersive racing communication and enjoyment. With some minor improvements in durability and design, this headset could easily become an indispensable part of any racing fan's gear collection.

Paired 3 of these up with 3 Uniden Bearcat BC125AT scanners and the setup works great for listening to the broadcast or spotters/drivers at a Nascar race. We had three of them linked together and the setup was flawless. With separate scanners each person can listen to their driver or the general MRN broadcast. But you could be linked to one scanner, with the headset selected to “ALL” so all headsets can hear one scanner, volume is a little low but they seal up good so hearing is not a problem.
