Halo mike and A210
Thought I would chime in.
Got my Halo's upgraded to the new mikes, and there is a significant change in sensitivity. The new mikes are louder, and more sensitive. In other words, They will break the intercom squelch with less speaking volume, and I hear more background noise in the headsets via the sidetone. Radio checks from my buddies indicate a much clearer and well modulated transmission, with no or very little background noise being transmitted. As for the 210, I reduced the mic gain 10 percent, and I seem to have the proper balance now. Wind only breaks the squelch if the vents are pointed directly at the mic and I turn my head 20 degrees or so to the left. I have found that I can alleviate this with small adjustments to the position of the mic in relation to my mouth.
As for my mic upgrade PIREP, I highly recommend. This has proven to make an already outstanding headset even better. Also, their customer service has been absolutely great.
