Kenwood KHS-10DC-OH Noise-Attenuating Headset

In demanding work environments, clear communication is essential. Construction sites, manufacturing facilities, transportation operations, warehouses, and other industrial environments can expose radio users to constant background noise that makes communication difficult. The Kenwood KHS-10DC-OH Noise-Attenuating Headset is designed to help radio users communicate more effectively while working in noisy surroundings.

This heavy-duty over-the-head headset combines hearing-noise reduction with a noise-cancelling electret boom microphone, integrated Push-to-Talk (PTT) functionality, and a 2-pin connection for compatible Kenwood two-way radios. Kenwood specifies a 25 dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) for the headset.

Clearer Communication in Noisy Environments

The KHS-10DC-OH is designed for users who need reliable two-way radio communication in environments where machinery, vehicles, equipment, and other sources of ambient noise can interfere with conversations.

Its over-the-head design provides dual-ear coverage, while the flexible boom positions the microphone close to the user's mouth. The noise-cancelling electret microphone helps focus voice transmission in challenging acoustic environments.

Heavy-Duty Over-the-Head Design

The over-the-head configuration provides a practical solution for workers who need both ears covered while maintaining access to their radio communications.

The headset's dual-ear design helps reduce surrounding noise, while the adjustable headband provides a secure fit for demanding work environments. The over-the-head format is particularly useful when users require a traditional earmuff-style headset rather than a lightweight single-ear communication accessory.

Noise-Cancelling Boom Microphone

A major feature of the KHS-10DC-OH is its flexible boom with noise-cancelling electret microphone.

The boom can be positioned close to the user's mouth to help provide consistent voice pickup. Combined with the headset's noise-reduction design, this makes the KHS-10DC-OH suitable for radio communication where surrounding noise can make conventional microphones difficult to use effectively.

Convenient Push-to-Talk Communication

The integrated Push-to-Talk (PTT) function allows users to operate their two-way radio without having to reach for the radio itself.

This can be especially useful when workers are wearing gloves, operating equipment, moving around a facility, or performing tasks where keeping both hands available is important.

2-Pin Kenwood Radio Compatibility

The KHS-10DC-OH uses a 2-pin connection and is listed by Kenwood as an accessory for various compatible portable radio platforms. Kenwood's accessory listings include models from the NX-1200, NX-1300 and other compatible radio families. Compatibility should always be confirmed for the specific radio model before ordering.
