Introduction
Two-way radio accessories are an important part of the radio system that makes it convenient to use and also adds more functionalities to it, without these accessories you’re limited on what type of radio you can use or how long it will last without being charged. Here we’ll discuss some common types of accessories for your two-way radios:
Two-way radios are a simple form of communication that can be used in a variety of situations. From the construction site to the farm, and even in emergency situations, two-way radios are often the best way to communicate when you need them most. They have many uses but one thing is certain: they all require accessories.
Earpieces
Earpieces are a type of communication accessory that fits inside your ear canal. They are particularly useful in noisy environments, such as construction sites or factories, where it can be difficult to hear someone speaking into a radio without an earpiece. In addition to helping you hear clearly, they also prevent the microphone from picking up background noise while you’re speaking into it.
Earpieces come in two main varieties: single-ear and double-ear (or “binaural”). Single-eared models feature one speaker on the front side of the unit and fit snugly inside one ear canal for private conversations with another person or group via radio broadcast transmission. Double-eared models have dual speakers on both sides of their body so that listeners can receive transmissions from multiple sources at once—ideal for coordinating a large group activity or discussion between teams working remotely from each other over long distances.
Headsets
Headsets come in a variety of styles from earpieces to Bluetooth headsets. All headsets have either a boom mic or an earpiece, but some also have both. If you are looking for a headset for your two-way radio, ask yourself these questions:- What type of earpiece do I prefer?
- Do I want the ability to switch easily between one and two-way communication?
- Will my hands be free when using the radio?
Speakers
Speakers are a great accessory to have with your two-way radio. They can be used for listening to music, hands-free calls and many other purposes.
They can be used in cars, boats and RVs as well as offices and homes.
Headset microphones (boom mics)
A microphone that is attached to the headset and can be adjusted in order to reduce background noise. This is especially useful when recording conversations on your two-way radio. It will also help you stay hands-free when communicating with others over the radio, which is great for situations where your hands are full (like when driving). You may also see this referred to as a proximity microphone because it sits closely next to your mouth so that you don’t have to yell into your radio when talking.
Another use for boom microphones is in video conferencing – they’ll allow other users on the call can hear what we’re saying clearly, even if they’re at a distance from us or behind us while sitting down at our desks!
Throat microphones
Throat mics are a great way to keep your hands free while on the job. They are used in situations where a user needs to be able to talk and listen at the same time. For example, if you’re driving down a highway and need to communicate with other team members in your vehicle, a throat mic may be the best choice for communicating clearly without having to hold any additional equipment in your hands or mouth.
Batteries
This is the most important walkie-talkie accessory, and It is important to use the correct battery for your two-way radio, as a battery compatibility problem will result in an inefficient and short-lived power source. Batteries can be charged by a charger or by simply plugging them into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket. Read our blog that tells about walkie-talkie batteries.
Chargers – Desktop, In-vehicle and multi-unit chargers
Desktop chargers are for charging a single battery.- In-vehicle chargers are for charging multiple batteries.
- Multi-unit chargers are for charging multiple batteries simultaneously.

Carry cases and holsters
Carry cases and holsters are a great way to protect your two-way radio from damage. They can also make carrying the radio easier, especially if you’re going to be moving around while using it.
Cases and holsters come in a variety of materials, including leather, nylon and canvas. Some even have extra compartments for storing accessories like batteries or headphones. If you want to mount your radio on a belt then look for a holster that will allow you to do this comfortably by adjusting its straps or attaching it directly onto your belt with clips or Velcro fasteners
The correct accessory for you will depend on your personal preference or your job.
