Why We Like The Mammut Barryvox S Beacon
Compared to the standard Barryvox, Mammut's Barryvox S Beacon has more advanced features that appeal to experienced mountaineers and guides. The beginner-friendly interface remains, while the larger screen displays advanced graphics, the additional buttons allow for customization, and the lithium batteries prevent corrosion to give us reliable performance when we need it most.

Great Beacon
The Mammut Barryvox S is a beacon that does exactly what it needs to. It’s simple to use, but still has advanced features like multi-burial marking that’s easy to navigate. It even has Dynamic Interference Management, which adjusts for electronic interference from phones, radios, power lines, or even GoPros. Older beacons lack this. The LCD screen is fast and accurate, and the directional indicator is super clear, making searches intuitive. It’s also loud, which is great when you’re moving quickly and need to hear the signal. Switching from send to search mode is smooth and quick. Thankfully, the search mode has only been used for beacon checks, a beacon park, and an avy training course, but it’s been solid every time. Definitely a beacon I trust.

Mammut Barry S
Great easy to use transceiver for both my professional and personal uses. The pro features are a great addition, with features like the group check which is easily accessible and multi burial close proximity functions working seamlessly. This version is more suited for pros/experts with the base model great for your average recreationaists at a cheaper price point. The advanced pro features (analog mode etc) aren't really necessary unless you're working in pro capacity or taking pro level courses.

The Best Transceiver
I've been really impressed with the overall design of this beacon. It is easy to use, and has simple but functional locking between modes. The flagging feature works much better than my previous transceiver, and the cues on the screen and on the device are really helpful tips. Hopefully I never need to use this in a stressful situation, but I trust it to perform if I ever do.

Great Product
I couldn’t be more impressed with the Mammut Barryvox S! This avalanche beacon is a game-changer for backcountry adventures. The range is incredible, and the search functions are fast and intuitive, even in high-pressure situations. The large screen and clear instructions make it easy to use, and the durable design gives me confidence it will hold up in harsh conditions. I also appreciate the advanced features like multiple burial detection and Smart Search, which make it feel like a professional-grade tool. If you’re serious about backcountry skiing or snowboarding, the Barryvox S is an essential investment. Highly recommend!

The Mammut Barryvox S is intuitive and useful for backcountry skiing safety. The search feature is phenomenal for finding and the beacon is reliable for situations where it is buried

When every second counts, this is the one to have.
I’ve been very impressed by this company’s products — and this avalanche beacon is perhaps the finest made. It doesn’t matter which end of the unit you’re on (rescuer or rescuee), this is the one you want to have. Speaking as an avalanche rescue leader with decades of experience, if we could only convince people to have this gear — no matter why they’re in the mountains — we could save more lives. In practical rescue simulations, we could usually find our volunteer “buried skier” in an average 6-8 minutes, well within the 15-minute survivability time. I recommend this unit highly. If you feel you don’t need it, ask yourself how lucky you feel: hope is not much of a strategy…

Excellent beacon
Quality product that has one of the furthest search ranges of any beacon which can save precious seconds or even minutes in the event of a burial. The display also makes it extremely easy to read the distance/direction and actually tells you when you’ve gone too far and need to make a U-turn.
