Thanks Jamie. Yes I have been following this thread about alternatives and wait in anticipation! I have not heard about anyone successfully refurbishing the flowjet. Cheers, Paul S/Y Ya Fohi -

I have had the Eartec headsets for one season and they work great - no issues. A friend of mine has had them for 3 years - again, no issues. The only draw back is that you have to remove the
