Motorola AARLN4885B Receive-Only 3.5mm Earbud with Coiled Cord for Speaker Mics
The Motorola AARLN4885B Receive-Only Ear Bud Style Earpiece (also sold as the AARLN4885 and RLN4885) is a genuine Motorola listen-only earbud that plugs into the 3.5mm accessory jack on your remote speaker mic. A small foam-covered earbud sits in the ear and plays radio audio privately. A coiled cord stretches as you move and pulls back neatly against your collar. You keep transmitting on your shoulder mic as usual. It’s a simple, comfortable alternative to an acoustic tube earpiece. Police officers, deputies, security officers, corrections staff and event teams use it on Motorola APX, MOTOTRBO XPR, XTS, HT, MTX, CP200 and R7 radios.

How It Works
The AARLN4885B doesn’t plug into the radio itself. It plugs into the 3.5mm accessory jack on your remote speaker mic (RSM). When the earbud is plugged in, the mic sends received audio to your ear instead of its loudspeaker. You still press the PTT button and talk into the speaker mic as usual.
