Tange or Tioga Headset?
« on: April 05, 2011, 09:33 PM »
So I need a new headset for my new project, and the original spec was a Tange MX.  :-\

There are currently plenty of Tioga MXs and Tange Beatrap 2s available NOS. Neither is actually era correct, but I am cool with that, but I am partial to the Beartraps but would like to put the MX2 on as it is closer to EC than the Tange.

Oh, the Obsessive Compilsive Disorder or passion brings, and Oh, the banality of it all..........  :idiot2:

Anyways; any views from heart or head? Any good / bad quality and / or performance issues with either?  ???

All inputs gladly received with applause (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=124328.0)!  :daumenhoch:

Ta very much,

Clean!  :coolsmiley:
