Behind-the-neck headset with boom mic

The Kenwood KHS-22 is a light-duty behind-the-head headset designed for compatible Kenwood two-way radios. It features a single-ear receiver and a flexible boom microphone for clear voice pickup. An in-line push-to-talk button includes VOX capability for hands-free operation. The headset connects via a two-pin radio connector.

Users needing single-ear radio communication

This headset suits workers who must stay aware of surroundings while transmitting on Kenwood FreeTalk or ProTalk series radios. The behind-the-neck style fits comfortably under helmets or hard hats. Buyers requiring dual-ear coverage or a traditional over-the-head band should consider a different style. It is not suited for radios using other connector types.

Two-pin Kenwood radio connector

Compatibility depends on the radio's two-pin accessory port matching the KHS-22 plug. The headset supports Kenwood NX-P1000 series and models referenced by Grainger numbers such as 35MC37 and 43Y985. Verify your radio's connector before purchase. An incompatible port will prevent the headset from functioning.

Questions about this item

Does the single-ear receiver sit on the left or right ear with the behind-the-neck band?

The behind-the-neck band holds the single-ear receiver on one side; the flexible boom microphone extends toward the mouth and the in-line PTT clips to clothing.

How do I connect the headset to a Kenwood FreeTalk or ProTalk radio?

Plug the two-pin connector straight into the radio's accessory jack until it clicks; the single wire carries both audio and the PTT signal.

When should I replace the foam cover on the boom microphone?

Replace the foam cover when it becomes stiff, torn or no longer stays on the mic tip, which keeps wind noise low and audio clear.
