Headsets

There is a wide variety of headsets available at various price points and quality.  We've linked some of the commonly used headset brands from search engine results here to help you as a starting point to your own research.  

MVOA does not promote or require any specific brand of headsets, nor do we endorse any of the vendors associated in the links provided.  You need to decide for yourself what works best for you and what level of investment you want to make in this optional piece of equipment.  

TIP:  whatever you buy, look for the level of noise cancelling that they provide so that you aren't getting an amplified whistle in your ear each time your partner blows their whistle
