The airwire headset increases a [[mechanitor]]'s [[bandwidth]] by {{+|3}}. This increase is not affected by [[quality]], though the usual apparel stats are affected as normal.

An airwire headset equates to 3 more [[militor]]s or general labor mechs, in exchange for the protection from a [[simple helmet]] or other headgear. While they deteriorate over time, airwire headsets are much cheaper, in both resources and [[power]], than 3 [[band node]]s. Somewhat useful, especially if your mechanitor does not participate in direct combat.

The only stats that are meaningfully affected by quality are the deterioration rate and market value, thus in most cases there is little-to-no benefit and [[wealth management|some detriment]] to higher quality headsets.
  
 
Once [[Research#Standard mechtech|Standard Mechtech]] is obtained, you can create the [[array headset]], which gives 3 additional bandwidth and only costs {{Icon Small|component||4}} [[component]]s more to create. Note that, until you actually need their bandwidth, either headset does not actually help you. For mechanitor starts, you can take off the airwire headset until reaching the initial 6 bandwidth cap to save on headset health.

Note that deterioration rate only applies to deterioration from being outdoors and the like, it does not affect the damage taken from [[Apparel#Durability|attacks or being worn day-to-day]]. Properly storing any unworn headsets, as you likely are anyway, completely negates the benefit.
