Buy once, cry once. It’s worth it!
I struggle with the traditional plastic tube because of the amount of pressure it puts on the top of my ear. Additionally, I work in an area where we get a full spectrum of weather and after a good snow or rain storm, the old traditional tube sounds like it’s full of water.
I got my N-Ear piece and I genuinely was shocked at times thinking my ear piece was not in because it feels like nothing is there and the audio is super clear. It took me a few hours to adjust to the feeling of the internal earpiece component, but I have zero complaints all around. Don’t be cheap, your radio is essential to communication with dispatch and your team!
