ICOM HS-97 HEADSET WITH THROAT MICROPHONE
The Icom HS-97 is an earphone with a throat microphone designed for clear communication in noisy environments. It’s a popular choice for users in high-noise settings, like machine shops or outdoor sporting activities, as the throat mic picks up vibrations directly from the wearer’s throat, minimizing background noise interference. The HS-97 requires a VS-1/1L/1SL VOX unit for operation and is often used with Icom two-way radios.
