No issues to report at all. It looks slightly different than the photo on the website. Construction is solid and audio is clear.

  F******* M

Works Great!

Works great! I have been using it for a few months and it has not failed me. I bought a different brand before this one and quickly regretted it. Save time and money and buy this one.

  R*** E*****

Great product, great price. Will probably buy again.

  P**** G*****

Great Earpiece

Second time buying this item. My last one lasted two years. I hope this one will last as long.

  M*** S

Comfortable

This is a very comfortable piece of equipment. I hardly even feel it. I don’t have to turn my volume up for everyone to hear now when receiving transmissions.

  M****** P*****

Good Clarity

My friend bought it and he says that it has really good clarity, and I agree with hime on that. It’s good for clearing rooms because no one can know your’e comming.

  C********* T*******

Works Great

I have used this product for a couple of years now and just a couple of weeks ago it finally took a dump on me. All in all it worked great, I knew about calls before other patrolmen did. It works great and Earhugger has some excellent customer service....

  Michael D

Adjustable

At first, it hurt my ear and it cut the inside of my ear after a fight. But, I took a pair of scissors and trimmed down the ear piece. Now, I have used it for the past 6 months with no problems. I will not go on patrol again without it.

  T****** L****

This earpiece is excellent

This earpiece is excellent. You will have to give it some time though after first buying it. For the first week of using it my ear was sore, but I later got use to it.

  Jennifer O

Stays On

My first night on the street with my earpiece I got myself into a foot pursuit! I have to admit that this earpiece stayed in my ear on not on the ground!! I recommend you buy this.

  Jennifer F

Essential

My FTO advised I should have one of these. I was alittle leary and now I can’t live without. We do alot of building searches and deal with alot of warrants. So it’s awesome because they don’t hear that they’re wanted or when you...

  D****** E********

Good for the price.

Good for the price, uncomfortable if worn all night long. Can’t have the volume up to high on your radio otherwise hard to hear but it works great and is nice to have if you work in a noisy environment, very tactical, easily concealed.

  J*** R******

Recommend

I’d recommend this earpiece for anyone who is in law enforcement. I find it very comfortable for a long shift, and not missing any radio transmissions is great. Great price.

  V****** L*****

I like it a lot

I like it alot. You can get your clear for traffic returns without having to walk away. Does hurt a little but you get used to it.

  J***** K****

Stays on

I bought this ear piece not too long ago and yes your ear does hurt after using it, but after about a week of use your ear gets used to it. This product can keep you unheard when radio traffic is a must in quiet situations. Also make sure that you have...

Product is great

This Product is great. It is uncomfortable after a while and hurts my ear, but when I fell in the lake at 40ft deep the other day it still worked when I got out of the water.

  Austin K

This items is great! I recomment this for anyone who used walkies. It works like a dream.

  J***** P****

Super Solid

You can tell this earpiece is built right. The cable is slightly heavier gage than others I’ve owned and all the parts look and feel solid. Looking forward to using it on the line.

Decent

Decent stuff. Hard to change ear pieces. Good quality audio. Needed to work in loud venues. I would buy again.

  M****** N

Good Value

All of the pieces were present and of good quality. I’m not sure if I have small ears or if other have had issues but the 2 pieces that allow for one to hear with the earpiece in hurt my ears. I thought it was just and adjustment but resulted in more...

  Roger

Would recommend for anyone needing an ear piece for their radio!

Fits great, easy to use! It’s dependable and has good audio. It fits well in the ear with its combination of ear pieces! A definite plus for quality professional work and service…The Jack, tubing and ear pieces are first quality.

  K**** G

  B****** H

Invaluable

Cannot stand not having it. As a Transit Officer around loud buses all day makes communications easy. You are the only one to hear what is being said. Good when you have subjects in custody who have warrants.

Pro Tip

Just got this earpiece and the sound is great. My one complaint is that the wrap does not cling to my ear as much as I’d like. Maybe I have small ears who knows. But don’t worry there is a simple solution. Take a paperclip and unfold it so its...
