Review on πŸ” Revolutionizing Football Referee Communication with Wireless Headsets: Referee Headset 3 Referees Talk Simultaneously by Amanda Vosten

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Finally, the soccer referee communication system has become available to the masses!

Is This Soccer Referee Communication System Better Than The $2,000 Communication System? no Does it connect easily like a $2,000 comms system every time? no Does it offer crystal clear audio with background noise filtering like a $2,000 communications system? no But do you know what he's doing? This allows me to communicate with all referees on the field and make more informed decisions in real time. No more trying to get the other person's attention and then giving each other discreet hand signals to tell us what to do. I see many soccer referee forums badmouthing these Chinese-made Bluetooth communicators and encouraging us to shell out $2,000 for "professional communications systems." But sorry, that won't happen. Yes, there are some oddities. The pairing process isn't intuitive, but I write the steps down on a piece of paper and keep it with the kit. I can enable communication and connect all devices by pressing just one button on each device about 75% of the time. From time to time I have to repeat the pairing process, but you can do it. There's a bit of crackling in the audio when you speak, and the mics pick up everything from heavy breathing as you run across the field in a quick pause to conversations from the tech field. I prefer this when I'm AR as you can hear the entire conversation between the referee and the player. The $2,000 link filters out ambient noise so you can only hear the referee in a conversation. The best thing about this system is the range and battery life. Make sure you turn off the microphone when you go to the restroom, otherwise you'll broadcast your trip to the urinal to your team. He has such a wide range. And it has an insanely long battery life. I return to games regularly with no problems and once I played 3 games in a row for 45 minutes and they were still going strong. happier. Will they last for years? I do not know. I had to order new headphones as the ones that came with them were pretty flimsy and started falling apart after a few games. If you can find communicators with thicker earbuds then I would say this one is worth going for.

Pros
  • Complete Kit
Cons
  • Sad Equipment
