Motorola NNTN8298A 2-Wire Wireless Earbud with 46" Cord & Inline Mic for NTN2571B and NNTN8127B PTT Pods

Motorola NNTN8298A 2-Wire Wireless Earbud with 46" Cord & Inline Mic for NTN2571B and NNTN8127B PTT Pods

The Motorola NNTN8298A (also sold as the NNTN8298) is a genuine Motorola black 2-wire wireless earbud with a long 46-inch (116 cm) cord and an inline microphone. It’s part of Motorola’s wireless radio audio system: the earbud plugs into a small wireless push-to-talk (PTT) pod, and the pod connects to your Motorola MOTOTRBO, APX, SL or XTS radio over Bluetooth. The long cord lets you clip the PTT pod to your belt or waistband, out of sight. Only the thin black earbud cord runs up under your shirt or jacket, and there’s no cable between you and your radio. The 2-wire earbud style looks like everyday headphones, so it’s easy to blend in.

Undercover and plainclothes officers, surveillance teams, protective details, security staff and business users choose the NNTN8298A for discreet, cord-free radio communication.

How the NNTN8298A Works

The NNTN8298A is one part of a three-part wireless system:

1. Your radio: Needs Bluetooth. That’s built in on SL radios, enabled internally on Bluetooth-ready MOTOTRBO radios, an internal option board on APX radios, or an adapter on other radios.
2. Wireless PTT pod: Pairs with your radio over Bluetooth, provides the push-to-talk button and powers the earbud.
3. NNTN8298A earbud: Plugs into the pod. You hear radio traffic through the earbud and talk through the inline mic.

To set it up:

1. Make sure your radio is Bluetooth-ready (see the requirements below).
2. Pair the PTT pod with your radio.
3. Plug the NNTN8298A into the pod.
4. Clip the pod to your belt or waistband, run the cord up under your shirt or jacket, and insert the earbud.
5. Press the pod’s PTT and speak into the inline mic to transmit.

Why Choose the NNTN8298A?

• Looks like everyday headphones: The black 2-wire earbud blends in with consumer headphones.
• Long 46" cord: Reaches from a belt-clipped pod to your ear, hidden under clothing.

Compatible PTT Pods (Sold Separately)

The NNTN8298A requires a Motorola wireless PTT pod, which powers the earbud. Pick the pod that matches your radio:
