Improved Privacy

The most immediate benefit of an earpiece is that it provides more private communication. It's easy for anyone to overhear a walkie-talkie, so an earpiece is a must-have if your workplace must communicate sensitive information. Furthermore, if your workplace involves the general public, earpieces provide a means of communication that is not disruptive to customers.

 

Lightweight and Comfortable

Another benefit of earpieces for two-way radios is that they're lightweight and comfortable to wear. This factor is important if you need to carry a radio throughout the day, as the earpiece is neither intrusive nor a hassle to carry around.

 

Better Sound Quality

Because the earpiece directs audio to your ear, you'll find that the sound quality is clearer than ever. This is more convenient and ensures workers can hear one another in loud environments. High-quality audio also helps words come through clearer, preventing misunderstandings and miscommunications.

 

Hands-Free Communication

The most prominent and relevant benefit of earpieces is that they allow you to communicate without occupying one of your hands. This makes it much easier to stay productive while communicating with your team. In contrast, using walkie-talkies and other handheld radios means you usually have to stop whatever you're doing to respond.

 

Increased Productivity

Earpieces allow workers to stay more productive than ever by providing clear, concise, and immediate communication. They remove the need to fiddle and tinker with the settings on your two-way radio just to hear what others are saying. Furthermore, workers can complete their tasks while talking and coordinating with others. In general, earpieces remove the need for workers to stop what they're doing every time they need to communicate with their team - in an ideal workplace, that's nearly all the time.

Wire Type

With 1-wire surveillance earpieces, a single cable travels from the radio connector to the PTT unit and then onto the earpiece. The most common markets for 1-wire surveillance kits are security teams, event staff, hotels, and hospitality. 2-wire surveillance earpieces have separate cables for the PTT/mic unit and earpiece, which gives users the option of wearing the PTT/mic on their lapel or running it down their sleeve. The most common markets for 2-wire surveillance kits are police, corrections, high-end security, factories, construction sites, and industrial uses. The 3-wire is the most concealed option and a lot of the time comes with regular headphones, so the user looks to be just listening to music. The 3 Wire Surveillance kit is used in undercover and concealed, operations or where anonymity is key.

 

Ear Piece Styles

Your style will depend on the ear size, shape, and comfort. Earbuds (aka ear tips) come in various shapes and sizes. People with small ear canals would require a smaller size earbud, while most people would require a standard size. If people have problems using even a small earbud, we recommend an ear hook with a speaker that sits inside the ear. Earpieces with Impact's D1 adjustable ring can accommodate all ear sizes and are ideal for users who require a hearing aid.

 

Transducer

The transducer, which typically refers to the speaker in an earpiece, can be made of different materials, including brass, metal alloys, and plastic. The highest audio quality is provided by brass, followed by other metals and plastics. Transducers can be a variety of different shapes and sizes but typically are circular and approximately the size of a dime or nickel.

 

Push to Talk

Some earpieces feature Push to Talk (PTT), a switch or button on an earpiece or speaker mic where the user engages the switch to activate the microphone and allows for instant communication with other users. PTT earpieces are widely used in the retail and hospitality industries.

 

Step 1: Put Earpiece in Ear

We'll start at the top and work down. This way you have room to adjust the fit how you like it before attaching the mic or PTT to yourself. Wrap the acoustic tube around the back of your ear so it sits properly and is not loose. Then place the earbud inside your ear.

 

Step 2: Place the Mic in the Best Position

There are a couple of places for your earpiece mic that is considered the best position. You'll want to place your mic where it can pick up your voice. One way is to place the mic on your collar just below your head. Another way if you want to be more covert, is to place the mic on your sleeve. You'll want the mic to be placed a couple of inches away from your mouth when you're talking to avoid a muffled sound.

 

Step 3: Connect to the Radio

Now that the mic is securely attached to you, bring the wire down to your radio. For a more covert look run the wire underneath your shirt. Then, affix the earpiece connector to your radio. Make sure it's securely attached to your radio and not loose which can disrupt the connection.

 

Step 4: Test Your Earpiece

Once everything is set up, test that your earpiece works. Try talking to your partner on the radio, are they able to hear you? If so, looks like your earpiece is set up correctly. If there's any discomfort, you can't hear, or your mic sounds muffled, try adjusting the radio earpiece until you are satisfied.
