GSM Outdoors 7.1mm Plug Tactical Throat Mic Headset 2 in 1 accessory

7.1 mm throat microphone headset

This throat microphone headset uses a 7.1 mm plug that connects to a U94 PTT adapter, which is not included. The adjustable nylon band fits neck sizes from 12 to 15 inches for a secure fit. A transparent acoustic tube and mushroom-shaped earbuds provide discreet, private listening during extended use. It is built from ABS and silicone for durability in field conditions.

Thermals noise and power draw

The passive acoustic tube and bone conduction microphone operate without active electronics, so the headset generates no heat and draws no power from the radio. There are no fans or amplifiers to create audible noise during operation. The only physical sensation is the vibration of the throat microphone against the neck when transmitting. This makes it suitable for quiet environments where electronic noise would be a disadvantage.

Upgrade from handheld speaker microphones

This headset replaces a handheld speaker microphone when hands-free operation and concealed communication are required. The throat microphone picks up speech directly from vocal cord vibration, which helps in high wind or loud background noise where a boom mic would struggle. The jump is worth it for users who need to keep both hands free while maintaining a low profile. It is not for users who need an all-in-one unit with a built-in push-to-talk switch.
