Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Enhance Communication with the ICOM HM-186LS Small Speaker Microphone for IC-DPR3 by Ray Welchhance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You can't go wrong with OEM Icom.

Another very good speaker/microphone from Icom. It's as good or better than the mic in my ID-51A Plus. The speaker, like almost all small microphones with a speaker, is weak but damn loud. The speaker in the ID-51A Plus has a bit more depth and volume than this one. The coiled cord seems to be longer than the speaker/mic I had for the Yaesu FT1D which I LOVE. I also like that the connector has a rubber grommet around it. He fits in perfectly. The mic also has a headphone jack on the bottom which is a REGULAR size, not a silly mic size. I'm new to Icom, but at least with the ID-51 and its accessories, it seems like people have actually USED this device and figured out what makes sense and is easy to use. This is evident in such small things as this microphone.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Not bad
