A quick overview of the three budget priced aviation headsets I have experience with. The short version is that the Kore is probably the overall best, the RuggedAir is acceptable, and the Faro would be the clear winner if the microphone weren’t so weak.

A very handy portable bluetooth speaker that fits just about anywhere. I use this thing all the time. I think my only complaint might be that the battery could last a little longer.

You really do get what you pay for and the video from those cameras is markedly sharper with more accurate colors than these budget cameras. While I’m not so disappointed […]
Zoom H4N Pro Portable Audio Recorder
