MEOB Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Need schooling on them. Anyone running one? I've tried the ANR set ups and dident like them. Also run a lot with the sliding doors opened and I hear that the ANR doesn't like that. And I don't want something else relying on batteries. Getting my helmet refurbished and considering getting a CEP harness installed. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-rex Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I run the CEP kit on my SPH 5 . No issues, other than I got custom earpieces made at Costco, sent away my CEP harness with them and they installed into the custom earpieces. The foamy earpieces they sent with the kits get dirty pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphibious Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I have been using CEP for 10-ish years now. great for long days. Still a slave to the foam earplugs, need to get a custom set made one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEOB Posted February 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'm guessing if the cep is not plugged in the coms work as normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnie Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I used my CEP kit for years, but I found that the cable breaks at the ear plug join, the cables are stiff and I got a hot spot of pain where the cable ran out of the earcup, and I found the tips to be annoying, I reverted back to just earplugs. (Personal preference) If they would have made the tips/cables of the softer kind as you find in cellphone headsets, sort of like skull-candy etc, I find they would be more comfy. The service from CEP-USA was second to none and supplied free of charge twice, the cable part. very good service indeed. Installing the CEP kit was a breeze as well, just make sure you have the proper tools available. I also installed a ANR kit in a helmet, and that was a MUCH more involved process. Cheers H.

flingwinger Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Yes the helmet comms function normal without the cep plugs connected. I've been using cep's for about 6 years with custom moulded earplugs. I can't fly without now. I also had a couple of the cables break, and cep USA replaced them. I think they have a revised cable now as this one is more than 2 years old around 800 hours of use and no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEOB Posted February 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Thanks for the replys. Kit will be bought and installed by tiger performance as they will be doing the refurb on the helmet. I've tried using just ear plugs but couldent hear the radios any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had mine done long ago, they took my molds with a bear head and I always found the act of wearing a helmet (flight or motorcycle) would always break the seal and/or change my ear shape enough to seriously reduce the plugs' effectiveness. I reverted to no plugs with my Gallet but have recently begun using standard foam plugs in addition, but of course even with COMS volume turned up the sounds is never very clear...

flingwinger Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I had a set that were made when I first purchased my gallet with the cep kit installed. I had to get the moulds taken at a hearing clinic then ship them to the manufacturer. They were terrible. Hard rubber, never fit quite right. I think the ear canals were too long and yes they would break the seal often. I found the cep foamies to be better. I then had a set re-made a few years ago by a local hearing aid company and they were much much better, softer silicone type earplugs and have no issues with the seal breaking.
