Great service always a pleasure to deal with
Have used D2N headsets for years (borrowed from others) and finally got around to buying my own kit. Excellent sales guidance and support and having my own gear only confirmed the quality and performance. Delivery was prompt and everything arrived well packaged and protected.
The storage bag is a brillant addition to keep everything together.
The D2N Drivers Microphone Kit fits perfectly into our Stilo Helmet. The sound quality was by far superior to our previous kit, and I would highly recommend the team from D2N Technology Solutions to anyone who is in the market for either a helmet kit or a full team fitout. Their prices allow you to have the very best in in-car communications at an affordable price point. They also have leasing options available. Highly Recommended.
Great service

Works great, instantly sent to me.
The products supplied by D2N was the best in the business. We used these items for the first time around Mount Panorama, Bathurst which is known for poor coverage and interference. Their products were top notch, perfect range and quality of voice around the whole circuit, super impressed!
Great service and delivery, helpful, technical assistance.
