Hi Folks,

I need a pair of large helmets w/ headsets but have some questions. I would prefer not to spend a small fortune, but I want excellent noise reduction and communication capabilities. I want something that will work with my existing Comtronics intercom. Any suggestions where to get a good deal? Are there good used or reconditioned sets available anywhere?

Fred,

The problem is, and is always going to be ... the Comtronics part. There is where the amplification and noise cancelling circuits really are. It has been my expereince, having sold Comtronics, Sport Link (used to be RAD) and now Lynx, that Comtronics really has the poorest performance compared to all the rest. I always end up back with Lynx for the clearest, most dependable intercom for the buck. You will only have to buy it once.

OK - I have heard that more than once. Is there a good souurce for Lynx equipment that anyone would reccommend?

Fred, I have a single red Lynx headset for sale shipped to you for $295. It is in great shape if you need an extra headset. Let me know.

I am a Lynx dealer as well. Want me to give you a quote???

Steve is right, you WILL wind up with a Lynx system sooner or later. It is a little pricy, but will be the only system you ever have to buy. I had a RAD system and have experienced the Comtronics as well. I didn't have alot of money to pour into a system, but decided to suck it up and go with the Lynx anyway. You can start out with the bare essentials and add on from there. It will be more expensive in the long run if you go with an inferior system then decide to switch to Lynx.

Hi Fred. I always used Lynx, a great product. Then I tried Microavionics and was blown away, very state of art. You see their new integral helmet in the WAG videos on the UK team. We now only supply their systems to our customers and are authorized to sell in USA with 15% discount. They are not cheap for sure but I honestly think they are now the best. You can see their lineup at http://www.microavionics.com/

Anyone know how to replace the battery in a lynx headset and where to get the battery. I was told to send it back to Lynx but its very expensive to have them replace the battery.  Any help would be appreciated.   Denny

Hello from Demetri.My friend i am using LYNX since 1996 till today ,without any single problem.Honestly i use them very much in all trikes and G.A.I find them to be the best.
A C.F.I friend of me was using the BOSE$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and one day when i gave him to use a pair of LYNX in a flight he throw the BOSE away.
The best thing for you to do is to drop a phone call to lynx in uk and arrange to send them to the factory for a battery change.Do not experiment with anything else.
It willm be a little costly but peace of mind is better than be in an assumption if they will work or not.
