K6UDA Radio - The most beautiful girl in ham radio, Heil Pro 7 vs RadioSport RS60CF
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- One of the most requested shootouts in ham radio history with the hottest ring girl in ham radio is hosting. We're facing off with the RadioSport RS60CF Headset against the New Heil Pro 7, with astonishing results. Just in time for the Dayton Hamfest, don't buy a headset until you see this video.
As a private pilot, I know for a fact that the Heil is made by the same company and is the same headset I use to fly. Avcom.
David Clark makes a nice sheepskin headband that will replace the headband on the Heil. You can also buy the mic's for these headsets from David Clark direct.
And for less money (aviation items are usually much more money) you can build these headsets from bits and pieces from places like David Clark, Sky Geek, Airplane Spruce etc
I might see what the specs are the microphones and try and get my Bose A20 connected to my FT757GXii!
Excellent radio! When I had my FT-757GX I loved it! One of the best radios on the market at the time! Enjoy your rig!
I'm reporting this to the ARRL !! You cannot have fun on, or with Ham Radio, nor are you allowed to enjoy yourself,.........there might be emergency traffic someplace and you STILL have not installed power poles. I'm telling !
+Paul Rose Oh please report me. Maybe it get 'em to smile. :)
Huh? Does that mean I can no longer have my original Gumby wrapped around the TGU-9 stand?
This comparison "panel" was a great idea and very illuminating, thanks! I'd love to see more videos like this. In case you haven't done it before, I'd love to see transceiver comparisons as well.
I love my Heil Pro 7. Use it all the time. I assisted Bob in redesigning his Purple Amateur Handbook a few years ago from the little red one he originally did. What a great family they are and work ethic is awesome! Stephen N8WB . be blessed my friend!
I started looking for a headset a couple of days ago and quite frankly, had no idea about the quality or sound. This has helped make my decision. Thanks for posting it. W6DUG
Sorry brother.....but I have to disagree.....MY WIFE is the most beautiful woman on ham.....and if I don't want my food poisoned.....that's my story and I'm stickin to it! 73 KB0BR
no no, mine is!!
Graza i wish mine was, she hates the hobby
Most do bro, they hate the fact we give all our attention to our radios lol
So does mine. I don't even know why she sat her foundation lol.

Great video Bob. The first time through I was too distracted by the ring girl to get much technical detail but I did better the second time. I like the way you had the experienced judges do the evaluation and state their pros and cons. Great idea to insert the audio clips I sent you so the viewers can actually hear what the mic elements sound like in "on air" conditions. I even got two words of dialog in your production. Guess that's my one second of fame.
Interesting comparison guys. I have used the Heil Elite Headset for years, they are comfortable, block out noise and I like the phase switch. I prefer headsets for serious operation.
Those HEIL headphones are designed by Bob Heil who is also a Radio Ham.
14:01, WHY did you identify the two headsets when doing the TX Mic test? Didn't you want your judges to experience a blind test? All objectivity went out the door!
Not all, but some. Most people are able to be _almost_ completely objective even though they know the things they are comparing.
Excellent video, good job on the comparison tests. I have a question regarding the phasing on the Heil: Does the phasing create a separation making it sound as if it's sort of "stereo"? One small item not mentioned: What are the weights? Which one is heavier, and by how much? Thanks and 73 de N5NUK.
+dogbarbill The Phasing reverses the speaker phasing. sort of like flipping it upside-down. Each headset was weighed. you can look at both reviews for details. they're posted in my channel.
Hey Roberto, it took me over a year, but I finally got around to getting the Pro 7 - mostly for satellite stuff...in very large part due to this great review. Thanks! 73 de Robert K3RRR
Great review - thanks for sharing !
Hi Bob, Best video so far in your ham radio series. The other ham related videos were informative, like the portable antenna video, and also funny (which I liked). Danielle adds a nice entertainment value to a very well done "Shoot Out" of two popular headsets. I have a couple of Heil headsets although not the Pro 7 reviewed. I also have the Radio Sport which I use with a KX3 in my RV. I've found both have pros and cons as noted by the reviewers. While I use a headset exclusively in the RV (so xyl doesn't have to listen to that "beeping noise" {CW} ), I prefer to use a boom and mic combo at home with wireless stereo headphones. I have yet to decide which I like better; Heil Proset Plus or Radio Sport (leaning towards RS except for the price and lack of cables included) , but your video has me looking at the Pro 7 as another possible option. What would be perfect, in my opinion, is one or both models having the option to be used via Wi-Fi so that you are not "tied" to the desk. A Wi-Fi audio connection for RX / TX and a logic PTT provided over Wi-Fi would add utility and ease of use for either headset Perhaps with a Wi-Fi connection instead of the cord Tyghe would like the Radio Sport model just a little better! Great video overall. I know specs for both models are available from the MFG's websites but perhaps a mention of TX / RX audio specs would have been a nice round out to the evaluation (i.e. RX audio frequency response). 73, Ed K6HP
thanks fro the video and real test and opinions,, was shopping for a high end headset for my 2m ssb dxing.. awesome job
Cool shootout, Bob! Interesting you had a cameo for the David Clark's. I used a set in a friend's helo and, in that environment a noise cancelling mic is an imperative. Also interesting factoid (to the best of my knowledge right now), the military uses David Clark's for aircraft crew comms as do the fire services. Hmmm... idea: how 'bout shootout between ham headsets and those designed for 'professionals'? I can see a use for noise cancelling mics during field day where phone ops are in progress in close proximity to one another.
David Clark does have schematics for a ham radio adaptor, but their mic cartridges are totally wrong impedance, headsets designed for aviation voltages, you'd be putting tractor parts on a Tesla. They're not interested in the small ham market, compared to military aviation.
Thanks! I was leaning towards the Heil Pro 7.
Thanks. I need this. Heil Pro 6 broke plastic swivel at ear piece and was not happy.
What I miss in this shoutout is the weight of both headsets..
Weight is important, during a contest you probably have these things on your head for many hours.
I found out that the Radiosport is about 550 grams and the Heil is 482 grams.
So the Heil is about 15 % lighter, in my opinion a big plus...

Thank you for this practical wonderful test, keep up the good work! 73's ON4AH Belgium
Tnx for the comparison. 73
First time viewer, great video! I am subscribed!
Just watched this now, years after. Since you are at nearly 30K subs does that mean Danielle has her HAM ticket now?
Danielle decided to get her masters, take new high powered job, get a new boyfriend and NOT get her ham license. I'm still proud of her.
@@K6UDA Good for her!
I was about to say they look like David Clark aviation headsets.
I feel like this channel belongs in a garage in 1993 owned by some guy with a moustache who drives a F150 XLT with some sort of wood panelling. And he 100% wears suspenders.
But I’m a Mopar guy. No fords in my garage.
@@K6UDA 🤣
Great video. I would have loved to add a cheap headset in the mix, like a Yamaha CM500. Great and very down to earth reviews. Great job!!
Farout man, everybody needs to do what you do so well. Chicks too man
late to the party but this definitely helped me decide on a headset , didnt plan on getting one but after doing some contesting I would like to try something hands free
Great fun info. We all should heed these instructions. Invite many out to your next Field Day event.
A David Clark for ham radio without mods to make it work?!
Please, explain that.
Great review thank you gentlemen. I am a Heil man. M0DSK
That seems like overkill for headphones that you're going to use mostly to listen to beeping and noisy radio transmissions. Maybe it's just me.
The Heil ear cups are UNCOMFORTABLE and rough feeling to the ears.
Agreed.
Bob, as always, I loved your video and I love your sense of style and sense of humor mixed with serious analysis. Good stuff. Danielle did great and added to the fun as well. I can't seem to get into spending that much on a headset. next time, try a shootout of the more moderately priced headsets. In any case, keep the great videos coming, they're a blast!

What is your screen saver or background on your pc ... Thanks 73 F5IQX ...

Thanks
I am sorry, I must correct something here. In Ham Radio, the element of surprise is the YL .
I remember "What about BOB" Great movie!!!
Price? Why are you even looking at them?
And just how much were these phones?
In your shoot out, you mainly had voice ops. I don't know if you are a cw op or not. It really doesn't matter if you are. Bottom line, I'd love to see a headset shootout for cw ops! I am a new cw op. This past field day, it was a cluster fuck at the site. Too much on site qrm from people bullshitting and shining flashlights around at night. Even though you may or may not be a cw op, I'd love to see a review of headsets for cw only. I'm leaning towards the radiosport for now. I couldn't give a rat's ass for the mic quality. I'm interested in external sound rejection and clarity of weak signals. Could you put together a video for the rare few cw ops?
Three of the Ops in this video are dedicated CW Ops. Like 30 wpm guys. CW doesn't make real good TV though.
Purchased a PRO7 IC and using a ICOM IC 7000. My problem is that the microphone cause RFI and distorts the display. Tried it on two rigs with the same result Has anyone had this problem?
Call Heil. They'll get you handled.
Wow, was this a thorough test or what - thank you
Awesome! How come no one else does this....?
Why would they? I already did it..
Great video. I may have to go out and buy the Heil headset now. 73's de N6JRZ
A true "Valley Girl" !
Dream on you don't have enough money to buy a piece of that LOL
Music makers win for the girls sorry ham radio.
I have a challenge for you for your next shoot out good set of headphones with mic for under $100 and then compare them against your Pro's . In joining your shootouts good videos I've been off the air for over 30 years and just less wants purchased that FT 1200 with a four band vertical to get started with
+buzzsah check out this one. Might just answer your question. ua-cam.com/video/xC9-NfLmizo/v-deo.html
I can't wrap my head around spending that much money on a headset. If I made money hand over fist, I probably would feel different. I have a Heil Proset Elite 6 and I hate to admit that I bought it barely used from a S/K for $65. That being said, I hear weak signal that I would've never heard otherwise and that phase switch is just amazing. Sometimes I can flip that switch and bring somebody from the back to the front (I am half deaf in one ear and fine in the other).
+Wilson Hines Gotta say, before this experience I was in your camp. watch the review videos. Both the Pro 7 & the RadioSport took everything to a whole new level.
K6UDA what do you think the odds are the same speakers are in the headsets of both the Proset 6 and the 7? That wasn't an declaratory statement guised as a interrogative. It was a real question.
+Wilson Hines According to Bob Heil, the Pro 7 was a complete ground up design. He studied speaker design under Paul Klipsch in the '60s. If your familiar with the old Klipsch speakers they were way ahead of their time back then.
Had a good chuckle told my son the gal is like in her 20s. Gave her a good look and said dad she's like 50....LOL.
The Yamaha CM500 are good enough for me. $50. Plugs right into the K3 / K3S that supplies bias voltage to the mic.
Yeah, I used to think that too. Then I tried one of these and it changed my life.
K6UDA.You are XYL or YL? PSE answer...
How about u go up against me? The sexiest man in ham??
0:25 Why do so many hams tap the microphone to check if it's on? It is damaging the mike FFS. I assisted in last year's SDR Academy (www.sdra-2016.de/), a subconference of the Friedrichshafen Ham Radio Hamfest. A staffer of the Friedrichshafen trade fair company told us SDR Academy volunteers to warn the lecturers not to tap the microphones. They have to replace several mikes each year after the hamfest because they have been destroyed by tapping, and this happens usually only during the hamfest, not during the other 18 or so trade fairs they host all year round.
+Klaus Kaiser interesting. I didn't even notice.
Danielle can take Tyghe's place anytime. Better at visual appeal. Yes, I am biased. :D
Well, got me a Pro7. The only thing that is driving me mad is that f-ing plug touching my shoulder.
Great video!
Very Very professionell!! Best Regards and greetings from Austria! Best 73 de OE5POP
Thanks. I need Austria in my logbook.
no Problem On Weekend i´m on Frequency. 4 EL Monobander in Your direction. No Proble. I such the best Time for get a real dx : = ) . Fine Reviews. I get your Channel in my favourite list. best regards from the Mountains of Austria.! 73, de OE5POP
Why doesn't my David Clark just plug into my HAM rig ?
Why is the world so hard ?
+Ade Larsen put your ham rig in your airplane and all will be right with the world.
K6UDA Tried that, it won't work. No space for a 718 in a Cessna 172 :-)
Regulations for bolting it in you see :-(
A friend of mine has an Icom 706 in his PA28. I was just going to put VHF/UHF in my Bulldog.
Paul Sengupta Try doing that in a newer air frame.
No panel room?
As a wannabe pilot I agree with this message.
WHY MY EYES ONLY LOOKING AT A PAIR OF AIRBAG HAHAHAHAH
Beautiful girls and enormous, planetary disasters (in order to finally put in real use their expensive equipment), are the things that these guys dream.
Well i finally get to see the famous K6UDA. I'm not a headset gal .. just yet. De KI5CNL
Yep, everybody has and opinion.
this video is approved by the war shack> de n0war. peace from loveland, colorado USA
Sweet. I've always wanted the war shack seal of approval.
GOOD REVIEW TNX VA7FC
No, Bob, really, some people have TWO of those too. ;-)
I support Heil because he supports Ham Radio. Check out Amateur logic on TWIT TV. Bob Heil makes an awesome headset! Thank you for the comparison!

Beauty is to the beholder, No not the girl, I am talking about the headphones.
Nope your all wrong...check out this guys wife, and she even goes to hamfests ! WA2OOO
that RED ptt is like Apple watch out of place color...
That red button comes directly from the auto racing world. Crew chiefs use it to key their Hts witch are usually secured on the waist. I actually think it looks kinda cool. But then again, I kinda like the red button on the apple watch too. Go figure.
Who’s Bob? I like this show ... oh...
'Drama Queen '
she is ok
better than your hand,,lol
I couldn't afford any of the three...😁
All the "Participants" are over 50 where hearing loss is noticed. So, the only way this test would be valid if each individual had a hearing test prior to find out where their hearing losses are. So, while the effort of your video is commendable, I don't think it is a valid test. What I did find interesting is your hook to reel in the viewers - the girl.
Not all the testers are over 50. Two guys have hearing loss and two guys get hearing tests for the work. The ham radio market is 60% over 50 so testing with guys who have some hearing loss is very valid. It's the actual market. As for the girl... I've got plans for her, and her friends. 73

Hehehe, I worked YV5ENI 2 weeks ago! lol
Scared weenie....... did not get the Pro 7 IN PINK........ what can anyone say !!??
Ha Ha.. I'm just into pink either. don't make me a pussy. Does it?
Yes.
Lays it on with a trowel..
You have an interesting channel and I will be watching more of your videos as they are very informative and well produced. However, as I watch I keep having the same thought, "typical cop with trophy women all around!!" ;>). Of course you have heard that "God created cops so firefighters can have heroes." But that is not the complete story. "God created firefighters so cops can keep their uniforms clean." "God invented paramedics and EMT's to have public safety people smart enough to use the big words, e.g. thrombosis, diaphoresis, hemostasis, tachycardia . . . . . " Finally, "God invented park rangers to have people who could do all three at the same time."
Signed, a retired wildland firefighter, ranger and ham.
P.S. I still have and am using my first headset and it is a Heil. It must be the German part of my ancestry!
Wtf is going on here. This lady is 40+, anything past 25 no thanks
Thats disgusting
Bob, your the fucking man.
Yes I am.
Good Mic ?. Neumann !!. Expensive but PERIOD.
Both have good mics. Yeah they're expensive but hell, you get what you pay for.
Is it me or is this video really Sloooow? Hihi
To much Apple kit !
shameless....shameless! LoL!
LOL..................
