Radio Ear Piece opinions

[MMiskoe]

I need to replace my radio ear pcs and looking at either a custom or semi custom set. Any thoughts on the merits of either? Are the custom ones worth the cost & hassles of getting molds made?

The foam ones were a pain, impossible to clean, didn't do much for noise cancelling, hard to keep in the ear etc.

I'm sure someone here has an opinion.

Custom molded is the best money you will ever spend. Night and day.

I had ear molds done and bought custom in '93. Still working perfectly today and no racer tape residue on my ears.

I want custom molded units too. Who's got the best prices?

I bought a pair of the "semi-custom" ones in the early 90's, they look like the custom ones but are just a generic ear shape. They work great! I think I got them from Racing Radios back when I was doing the IMSA stuff. Now I deal with Shawn Sampson at Sampson Racing Communications.

SpeedCom emailed me back saying to get impressions done at your local audiologist and expect to pay $20-$30 then SpeedCom will do the rest for $170 + $20 S&H.

Haven't looked much further than that.
