Hytera EAN21-P 3-Wire Surveillance Earpiece With Transparent Acoustic Tube (Beige)

Achieve true operational discretion with the Hytera EAN21-P. This specialized surveillance earpiece is engineered for security professionals, detection teams, and anyone needing covert, hands-free radio communication. The system uses three separate, color-coded wires—one for the earpiece, one for the microphone, and one for the push-to-talk (PTT) button—allowing you to run the cables invisibly under your clothing. The flexible, transparent acoustic tube delivers clear audio while remaining nearly undetectable. A soft silicone earbud ensures comfort during long shifts, and the miniature microphone attaches securely with a brooch-style pin under your collar. The robust 13-pin connector with a thumb screw guarantees a secure fit and prevents accidental disconnection, protecting your radio’s port from wear. This accessory is also certified for intrinsic safety when used with compatible Hytera radios, making it suitable for hazardous environments where spark-free operation is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hytera EAN21-P compatible with Motorola or Icom radios?

No. The EAN21-P uses a specific 13-pin connector designed exclusively for compatible Hytera portable radios. It will not physically or electrically connect to Motorola, Icom, or other brand radios. Please check your specific Hytera model from the compatibility list.

Can I replace the transparent acoustic tube if it gets damaged?

Yes. The transparent acoustic tube is a replaceable part. You can purchase replacement tubes separately. This design feature improves hygiene and allows for easy maintenance without replacing the entire earpiece assembly.

How do I clean the earpiece and acoustic tube?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the earpiece and connector. For the acoustic tube, gently flush it with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and let it air dry completely. Do not submerge the connector or use harsh chemicals. Always ensure all parts are dry before reassembly and use.

Is this earpiece suitable for very loud environments like concerts or factories?

While the EAN21-P provides clear audio, its passive design may struggle in extremely high-noise settings. For such environments, we recommend pairing it with a custom-molded earplug or a high-noise reduction passive earpiece to improve audio clarity and protect your hearing. The 10 mW speaker power is standard for surveillance kits.
