That may very we'll work. The units come with ear pieces so you shouldn't have any feedback issues because of proximity. But that won't do you any good if your husband using a hearing aid. If you don't use the ear pieces, you may get feedback issues.

Oh wait... You're asking about the the headset unit (I thought you were asking about the radios).This headset unit is meant to inside of a helmet. The ear pieces are meant to mount on the inside of the helmet. Same goes for the mike boom. These will not work for what you want inside the car while driving... Unless of course you both expect to wear a helmet. The midland radios do come with headset already, but the ear piece is much like an ear bud... Goes inside the ear, not over the ear (like in this headset). Also it hooks over the ear as we'll. and that's why the headset that comes with the radio may not work for someone with a hearing aid.

This is for use inside of a motorcycle helmet, there are other versions which can be used without a helmet but I'm not sure this would satisfy your situation. There are other voice operated systems available that might make it easier to have a conversation in that manner.

Because it is made for a closed face helmet, the mic is somewhat shielded from wind and exterior noise. I use mine when riding our dirt bikes in the desert and it works great. It would probably work well for your situation.

Yes you can have both the speakers and the headset on at the same time, and set each to different volume levels. It can come in handy when one person likes to hear the movie loud and the other listener/s don't.

Yes, I wear this headset with two different pairs. One has a very thin light metal frame, and the other has rather thick rubbery ear grips. Obviously the thinner the frame the more comfortable you'll be, but you shouldn't have any issues with even a wider pair in your first hour of constant use. You can always lift the ear grips above the headphone cups so they don't pinch your head too hard. Looks a bit dorky, but feels nice.

No issues with the volume. I run outdoors and can't go up to 100% because I can't hear cars until they almost hit me. This is a great headset. Highly recommend this product.

Hello Erica! I am not sure where you are using the Headset. If you are in an office quiet environment and are having a problem perhaps the headset is faulty? Its not the best choice of headset from my experience anyway. If you haven't bought it yet - DON'T!

I'm not sure what you mean, the headset works well but the ear piece is a little uncomfortable, once you have the ear hanger no problem; also it can only be connected to 1 phone at a time

to be very honnest, I beleive it would not be the best set-up. since you have alot of wind coming to your face. Also, any microphone with your set-up will cause noise to the other passenger. Hope my response is clear enough. Thank you....

Recently used at Richmond Federated auto parts 400 and had no issues hearing what so ever.... loud enough with the headset I had and the one designed for this scanner... I had to turn the volume down a little cause it was to loud.

I would think that your best best would be to try a composite splitter. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/3-Way-Switch-Selector-Splitter-XBOX360/dp/B004T8KZCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397772816&sr=8-1&keywords=composite+splitter Though splitting audio normally cuts the loudness in half for both people listening. My advice is to search for another product that uses one receive/transmitter (the tower) but allows for multiple headphones to be connected. My best friend's parents used to have one that was made for two people to be able to use it and both of them could be listening at the same time and you'd be yelling at them but they wouldn't hear you.

Hi, I've had a hard time finding a useful headset that will work with the phone and the device at the same time. Every product that I have used has not worked.

Didn't try it but my suggestion for you is to look for another device. Even the cheapest headset I've had for 20$ was way better than this one. Just an advice.

To be honest, I wouldn't recommend this headset at all. I've bought two sets for my boyfriend in 6 months and both have had to be returned for replacements due to microphone issues. I ended up buying him a Plantronics set instead.

I have not had people complain about hearing me. Make sure you are not blocking the mic with the clamping brackets. I also use Bluetooth in my car to hear and talk. Not sure if bluetooth will help you if you have it in your car.

I have tried with mic om either side and sound is the same. I preferably wear mic in my left ear. I don't think it really matter, its just preference.

It depends on what your software is designed to do. I use speech recognition also and I don't hear myself speak through my headset while I'm talking.

as long as you drive with your windows closed it will work fine. on the road with the windows down it might bother your hearing but as long as i concern , it is no problem for the people on the other side of the call.

Another option would be to use a Headset Buddy Adapter and use a Computer headset if one wanted a headset for both ears.
