Has anyone used radio earmuffs at vintage races? My wife and I always go to the Monaco Historique, and I was wondering if they broadcast the commentary on a FM frequency that could be picked-up by these type of headphones.

We were also thinking of going to the Goodwood Revival, and could the headphones work for the races there?

Any recommendations on a headphone? I would prefer ones with a digital frequency display so that you can easily tune to a known frequency.

Thanks,

Ken

First stop would be getting onfo from the event organisers to see if the commentary is being broadcast, not all of them do. No point in getting them if they don't.

As long as it's on a easy to find frequency (usually a low end FM or MW one) then any radio should be able to pick it up, as long as the frequency range goes down that far.

You've just missed Monaco, not sure if they broadcast there, it was in french/english on the tanoy system though. Goodwood always broadcast the event on radio, you get a little earpiece with the program but can also tune into it via a radio/headphone system.
