Choose the best earpiece that works for your Motorola two-way radios.

Walkie-talkie earpieces allow professionals to communicate hands-free and in a discreet manner. There’s an extensive range of connectors available in the market today. Therefore, choosing the right Motorola Radio Earpiece to meet your needs is often tricky. Here are our top tips for picking the one that will work best for you.

How to Identify Your Motorola Radio Connector?

Before selecting an earpiece, you need to determine the type of radio connector you’ve got.

If you’ve got your two-way radio on hand, look at the front of the radio for a model number. Alternatively, you can remove the battery from your radio and locate a white sticker with the model number.

If you’re new to intrinsically safe two-way radios, or if you only want to counter-check and confirm you’ve got the proper equipment, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team of ATTACHE experts are able to answer all of your queries and provide recommendations that support your work environment, budget, and project needs.

Types of Walkie Talkie Earpieces

Once you’ve identified your connector, you’ll want to select the right type of earpiece for your Motorola Radio. Below are the most popular Motorola two-way radio earpieces for you to select from:

1) D-shaped/Style/Shell

This is a common earpiece seen on the market; the plastic D shape fits over the ear snugly and stays in place.

The D-shaped earpiece features a built-in microphone with a PTT (push to talk) function or VOX (voice-operated exchange). There may be a clip on the wire that allows you to fasten the earpiece onto your clothing.

Adjustable D-Style Earpiece with In-Line Microphone and PTT

Designed with a comfortable and adjustable fit for extended use, this compact and sturdy accessory allows users to keep all communications secure and discreet.

This black adjustable D-style earpiece cable has two coil cords that guarantee ultimate comfort and high adaptability no matter where and when you use your two-way radio. In addition, the D-style earpiece features an in-line microphone and push-to-talk button for easy and quick radio access while you’re on the move.

2) G-shaped/G-Hook/Swivel Earpiece

Like the D-shaped earpiece, the G-shaped earpiece hangs over the ear instead of hooking around it. It is ergonomically designed and comfortable for users to put on through long hours. 

The G-shaped walkie-talkie earpieces are ideal for noisy environments like clubs, concert venues, or stadiums since the speaker is placed near the eardrum.

3) In-ear

The in-ear earpiece doesn’t come with a clip that fits securely around the ear. Its speaker fits within the ear, which is the opposite of an MP4 headphone that has a speaker attached onto the wire. An in-ear earpiece has a wire that clips onto the garment and may be concealed underneath clothing.
