Hispeed1 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Airsoftnews.EU reported recently that Ebay Banned will sell a replica TCI Liberator 2 headset in November 2008. Anybody have details/other info? Or is this just vaporware? Link to post Share on other sites
RedRaptor Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Gah, you got me all excited for a moment. Thought it was finally out. Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Quote from Airsoftnews.EU in late October/early November made by Ebay Banned: "...and the copy of TCI LIBERATOR III Electronic Hearing Protectors will this week !! We will sell the khaki Bowman at same price as black version and USD 40 free shipping for the TCI LIBERATOR III. Link to post Share on other sites
nickless Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Well, it's not an TCI Liberator but an ComTac II but it's on the website and will be available very soon. Sadly, there are no information yet on what kind of radios this will be made for. The price will be $64: Link to post Share on other sites
pforcerecon Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 This is truly really interesting. I'd like to see how well this is in terms of construction, durability, and how clear the comms portion is. Looks pretty spot on, for a second there I thought this was the real thing for a comparison shot of some sort. And its a hell of a lot cheaper than the real deal, unless you've either got the money, or luck out on a great deal on ebay or something. Looks good!! Edit: On top of that, with the ComtacII model, since there's really no sign to indicate it as a Peltor, at least on the RS one in comparison where on the battery compartment it clearly says PELTOR, with these, well it looks as if these COULD pass for the real thing which is really neat. Now all we need are some sordin replicas and we're good! =D Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Can you trust your ears to "made in China" head phones? Oh wait you already do..... Link to post Share on other sites
pforcerecon Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I don't trust my ears to Chinese made headphones, as a matter of fact I'm a proud owner of a RS pair of Peltors, bout to get some Sordins, but in terms of game use and game use ONLY!!, well these would be good for game play and not for ACTUAL shooting master titled.

Sinner101GR Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 if they have noise cancellation, I bet the quality will be pretty dismal. Gonna be fun wearing these around without being able to hear that well (most likely.) Link to post Share on other sites

Hispeed1 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 YES! It will be out soon! Pics are up on Ebay Banned! But it looks like EBB named them wrong, this is a Peltor COMTAC-2 replica and not the TCI Liberator 3. I agree with you all that this should be only used for gaming-but I will take some to a local gun range to test as soon as I get some... Link to post Share on other sites

pforcerecon Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I agree man. Hispeed1, at least test em' out on say with a radio turned up full blast, or with a TV or something, not with shooting at least. And if there's at least some sort of hearing protection, well maybe...maybe the range, but i doubt it. Hell even try with a cap gun or something, those are a decent loud if shot really fast i bet.

PlasticMag Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I wouldn't even bother taking them to the range. For airsoft though, I'm sure they'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites

Chevieblazer Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I don't think they'll protect your hearing. but then, airsoft guns don't really go boom all that loud Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Update: Ebaybanned website says it will be out in a few days, but email from Jesse there said it will be at least 1 month before they sell this. Thanks for the concern about my hearing guys, I'll start of with .22 cal., and if it works, go up to a 9mm Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Sorry but this is the stupidest idea possible, if you want to go deaf, by all means use these at the range. A 60 dollar toy headset is not a professional 400+ dollar hearing protection. I look forward to pointing and doing the Simpsons 'hah hah' when the inevitable happens.

pforcerecon Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 these would be great for gameplay and gameplay alone, and if you have the actual headset, then those should just be left to the range or more practical use involving a firearm. Its about time they start coming out with a replica of these, and hopefully in the near future more will come and be more durable for gameplay/comm use. Link to post Share on other sites

HaVoC Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 It's tempting to buy a pair of these and compare them to my real Lib-IIs (and the Comtacs I used to have) just for sh*ts and giggles. Link to post Share on other sites
Siygess Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 If these are no worse than the Peltor 6S - which are of course at the very bottom of the electronic hearing protection food chain but are at least comparable in terms of price - then I will be more than happy with them for general airsoft use and for rounding out my on-a-budget PJ loadout.
