(Part 2) Best portable headset radios according to redditors

my boss supplied us with [these] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Peltor-FM-Radio-Defenders-Wine-HRXS7A-01/dp/B003617GVQ), never knew they existed prior to using them, can connect to phone or use the fm radio

just dance to radio 1 and make shit for 9 hours a day, really does make the day go way faster, had to use some non-radio ear defenders while i was waiting for them and i'll tell you what, these make it go from a 9 hour day to a seamless 4 hour day i swear.

theres no bluetooth, but you do get a wire that you can connect to your phone which isn't ideal but it does the job and since its anologue, its a bit finicky to get the radio station you want but if you listen to one and stay on one they're fantastic, now if you're one of these annoying-indecisive people that change the radio every 5 minutes, then you might want to get something else. really comfortable to, barely realise i'm wearing them.

i can't tell much difference between the both on the web but i can stand by these ones, the others have loads of good ratings though so i don't think you can go wrong with those.

Hmm. The NS-HD01 is available in very limited quantities on Amazon Marketplace

And this Audiovox looks very similar to the Insignia version. The buttons are a little different but the display is identical.

Don't laugh, but the Zune HD was also one-of-a-kind of it's time as a portable digital media player that also included an HD Radio tuner.

Funny thing is the hiss on WLW is caused by the HD signal. The digital stream is too big to fit in the 10khz spectrum that an AM station has, and you can observe this by tuning in 690 and 710, and the loud hiss you hear on those frequencies are the HD sidebands. Some of it bleeds onto the 700 frequency, which is why there's a hiss there. Go tune in to 550, 1360 or 1530, if you're close enough to the transmitters you'll hear the noise floor is lower on those stations than on WLW, because they don't broadcast in HD. The HD signal is so intrusive that the analog WLW stream is confined to only 5khz, which is why their sound quality is worse than almost all the AM stations in Cincinnati. It's a funny thing that if they took the digital signal that's supposed to sound great (I find it tinny and full of compression artifacts) off the air and opened up the analog signal back to 10khz, WLW would sound fantastic, and with no background hiss.

If you're looking for a good AM radio, try the Sangean PR-D5, I have one and I was able to pick up several Chicago AM stations standing in my driveway in the middle of the day. It is a beast.

Here is one example, 3M also makes one that I've seen at Costco but am unable to find it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Safety-Works-10121816-Digital-Radio/dp/B0064C2M8Q/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=hearing+protection+radio&qid=1554220431&s=electronics&sr=1-10

Saturday I will continue my yearly ritual: Put a new battery in my radio (its a great radio, one battery per year), help make dinner and then listen as I eat. That's how we roll in Tulsa. I spend most of Saturday night reading game recaps and looking at /r/CFB.

Beer is used for home games. Before, during and after.

These seem to have much better reviews, even a couple from motorcycle riders. They aren't bluetooth, but I think using 2-way radios would be better in the long run because you don't want to run down your cell phone battery the whole time you're riding.

Not much to go on but might be of some interest
