Western Force vs Fijian Drua - HBF Park - 23/3/2025 - Kick off 14:05

I stopped listening to mine. The commentary drowned out the ref.

I have usually found selecting the setting with both commentary and ref will split between the ears then I only listen to the one transmitting ref. Last game though, all settings were producing the same.

Mine only ever has the ref, though I must admit that mine isn't an official SportsEars radio. I've just got one I bought off ebay that I can program to the correct frequency (70.2FM, if anyone is interested)!
Never managed to get the commentary channel via my own radio.

70.2 FM is a pretty low frequency. My SportsEars has an FM radio function and that doesn't go below 88.

Like Leo we've found that the different earpieces can produce different channels, so I often have to spend the first ~5 minutes checking which channel and which ear gets the best ratio of maximum refs/players and minimum commentary!

Correct, which is why it can't generally be picked up on a regular FM radio. However there are some cheap models out there that work well. I've been using mine for years at HBF and Optus to listen to the officials (and even used one in the UK when they used to have a similar "reflink" setup)

You can pick them up very cheaply. One basic example, which works for 60-108MHz can be picked up for around $15:

Or a USB chargeable one here for under $25:

This sounds perfect

I came to the conclusion that I was the only person that saw it! The silence was deadly.

I dunno, it sounded pretty loud where I was sitting.
