    They're a little more expensive then the usual radios at €39.99, but for sub channel radios it would be worth it.

    For anyone who does buy them, beware, Binatone radios are very picky with headsets, the take a single pin headset, but the tip is the microphone and the ring is the earphone, Motorola headets are the other way around.

    EDIT: Lidl have silicone oil in stock for €1.50 a bottle.

    Yep, I agree with the good sir here

    Binatone are a nightmare to buy headsets for!
    That being said, Binatone dont Make radios, they rebadge them, so this could be diffrent altogether

    Make up the headsets yourself, its a little fiddly to solder the jack, but thats the height of it :)

    Thats what I did, McShape gave me an old headset, so I resoldered it, bit of a nightmare, but it works well.

    I ordered a Binatone headset online.

    Works flawlessly.
