Telex PH-88-IC3 - Lightweight Single Sided Intercom Headset for IC-W3
UPC's:
THE backstage headset.
I'm a lighting guy. I've worn a PH-88 for years while running shows; I try to spec them from the audio guys when I can. I finally purchased one of my very own, as I was sick of said audio guys ignoring me and giving me a gigantic antique with an earmuff the size of my face. They are so light you forget you are wearing it. They are extremely adjustable, so you can avoid the dreaded headset headache. The boom swings all the way around, so you can s... Show More

Great choice for stagehands
After several years of swamp ear and headaches from bulky headsets, I decided to give a lightweight a try. My first attempt was with a lightwieght clearcom, which didn't stay on my head and was difficult to hear in loud settings. I then switched to the ph88 and have been incredibly happy with it. Overall it stays put on your head, has a small muff to help block some sound, but without the bulk. I highly recommend this for anyone in theatre-it will literally save you from many headaches.

Very Comfortable
These PH-88 headsets work great and are very comfortable. I am able to wear one for several hours at a time. They hold up fairly well when working with high school students. The foam pad on the ear piece wears out after a year, so I keep some replacements on hand. The only problem would be that they are basically disposable after a few years because other than resoldering a broken wire in the connector, they are not user repairable. Good price point too.

Could be a bit more sturdy
We have an audio system that is used by the public and, admittedly, people are fairly rough with these headsets, but we are replacing them a bit too often. Under more gentle care, however, the sound quality and the mic isolation are superb! Two of these units are deployed in a room with a fair amount of background noise and that noise barely comes through the mic.

Great headset -- TV control room
I just bought this headset and am very happy with it so far. It is used in a TV production control room on a daily basis. The headset fits very comfortably, is light so it doesn't feel heavy on your head during extended use, and the sound quality is great. The cable is also long enough to walk a short distance from the console, which is very convenient.

Solid Product
As a stage manager, this is exactly what I needed. It was recommended by my Head Sound to work with our system. It is comfortable, snug without being too tight, sound quality is excellent and will last awhile. Plus the price is very good for the quality of the product. I would - and have already - recommend this headset to other colleagues.

Lightweight but delicate
In our rental/staging business, the intercom system is critical and every technical operator needs to be accessible. These headsets are loved by all users because they aren't bulky and clumsy. They're not liked so much by owners/purchasers because they don't hold up as well as the heavier duty headsets, so you're buying them more often.

Disappointed customer
This item does not work for commercial aviation. It would have been helpful if that information was included in the item description in your website. I discarded the original packaging when I got the item therefore I could not get a refund for this item.

The Standard in Lightweight Headsets
I wear a lot of headsets, whether it's for general aviation or double-muf comms for sports or live TV. These are my favorite lightweight headsets for a quiet environment where I don't need sound isolation from a loud environment.

Awesome Product for Broadcast Directors
The PH-88's are the standard for Broadcast News. And the quickest way to purchase them is at B&H Video online. I purchased them before 2pm and received them the next day nicely packaged. Thanks B&H!

Most Comfortable Headset
I use the product as a stage manager to call corporate meetings and events. After 18 hours in the ballroom on intercom, this headset is still very comfortable because it is so lightweight.
