Secure Headset Group (SHG) launched the S 131 Semi-Custom Headset, a lightweight in-ear headset for 911 dispatchers. Using a six piece kit of soft universal ear tips in three sizes instead of a custom mold, the S 131 offers custom level comfort with no ear impression, ships from stock, and costs well below a custom setup.

Dispatchers wear headsets for ten or more hours a shift. Over the ear styles can create pressure points, and over-the-head styles can tangle in hair and aggravate headaches. Custom ear molds are the lightest alternative, but can be cost prohibitive and a mold takes four weeks or more to produce, and a single mold fits only one ear.

The S 131 uses a small, lightweight universal ear tip with no pressure points. Each box includes a six-piece kit of soft, hypoallergenic tips in multiple sizes, with tips for both ears so dispatchers can switch sides during a shift. The ear tip lets environmental sound through, supporting dispatchers who keep one ear open for radio transmissions. The S 131 uses the same mic boom as SHG's custom headset, drops into existing communications setups, and ships within 48 business hours. It is backed by SHG's two-year warranty and live support.

"We built the S 131 because custom doesn't work for every agency or every ear, whether it's the cost, the wait for a mold, or a fit that never feels right," said Ann Seigler, Director of Strategic Partnerships at SHG. "Now dispatchers get that comfort right away, in either ear."

The S 131 is available now through authorized resellers.
