We are looking to invest in some wireless headsets … primarily for ‘non-shouty’ communications between Helm & Bow when anchoring or picking up a buoy, etc.

Not sure exactly where to start and would therefore welcome any thoughts, experiences (good, indifferent or bad) from Forum members.

Thanks in advance!

We also use Sena headsets. They can be somewhat unreliable - and replacing batteries is a bit of an issue - and voids any warranty. HOWEVER - two of our three pairs are working great - and we use them for anchoring - reducing the amount of shouting going on. They are also fantastic when going up the mast. Highly recommended - though I wish they were a tad more robust!

Hello Bill,
Thanks for your comments and guidance. Fairly sure we are going for the Sena SPH-10 headsets. Comms at anchoring being the main issue, saves shouting and any possible confusion around hand signals. I regularly receive a very assertive and clear hand signal from my better half, but that’s normally after we have anchored. 😱 Hopefully headsets will make life much simpler and harmonious!
